Facing folder path issue in shell script

I have written one script which is working fine when I execute it by ./script.sh.

Script path: /var/script.sh.

I need to do some action in /var/project. For that, I have written this script. 

cd /
cd /var/project
echo "In folder..."

Now I need to run this file using sudo crontab -e.

Crontab -e code:

@reboot /var/script

I have also echo some message and it prints fine. But as in my above code, it is not going to my path. It goes to this path. 

/home/myuser

Instead of that path I need to go 

/var/project

Thanks for the help. :)

Root will use /home because it's default path of root.

Give you default path before script executes.

add this code at top of the script. 

cd /
cd /var

Now it'll use you path.
