She completed her BE at Ramaiah college in Bengaluru.

Out of the 250 girls who wrote the examination, only 59 got selected for the second phase. After various tests over a week, 15 got selected for the next round. Later, a medical test and stringent physical fitness test are conducted. Out of this, only five were chosen. Out of the five again, only three including Manisha were chosen throughout the country. The other two girls are from Delhi and Lucknow.

There were 96 vacancies for pilots in the Air Force. However, only 49 were selected as others could not make it to the final stage. Out of the 49, only 10 are girls and the rest 39 are boys.

Manisha

Manisha’s father Manohar Shetty was selected for the Air Force when he was a youth. But his father did not give permission as his elder brother was already serving in the Air Force. Hence, Manohar Shetty had the dream of making one of his children an Air Force pilot. He spotted Manisha’s traits when she was a child and encouraged her to become a pilot.

Without much training except her father’s guidance and information from YouTube, she achieved it.

Manisha was good at sports too. She was a national-level basketball player. She has participated in the Republic Day parade being in the NCC. She was dreaming about becoming a pilot when she was studying in sixth grade and used to convey the same to her friends and relatives openly.

In fact, Manisha was selected for Army as well as the Navy too. But Manisha did not opt for it as she wanted to realize the dream her father nurtured for her. She continued her effort towards achieving the goal and tasted success.
