Hello,
This post mite go really long as i want to be as informative as i can so that you frndz can help me out better. Thanks in Advance
About my IT interest :
having deep interest in technology since childhood. Always curious to know how the technology works and likes keeps myself updated with latest tech gadgets and news.
Living in a small town here , not in a competitive environment.. though i dont stand first in my class Result wise , i bet i can chew my fellow mates when it comes to performing (Practical knowledge )
After my 12th , i had no interest in Engg. i had undefinable love for IT .. I compared BSc , BCA , BE and ended up with BE. I would like to clear that had it not been IT Engg , i would not be here in Engg
Current Status:
I am currently running a successful web design company of my own with a bunch of freelancers under me. we are doing a phenomenal job and i cant ask for better
The syllabus has covered C , C++ till now and my basics are very clear.I will make it a point to keep basics of all my future languages clear too. ( It is really difficult to master them all in the 3 year phase )
To enhance my resume , i regularly participate in college events like coding , designing and stuff. I have won a few of them too
Academic Profile
I am currently doing BE IT from a college affiliated with Pune University.
I have just finished my 4th sem and awaiting results.
Sem 1 ( Common Engg. > NO IT SUBJECTS >> NO Interest ) = 2 backlogs of 5 attempted
Sem 1 ( Common Engg. > NO IT SUBJECTS >> NO Interest ) = 3 backlogs of 5+2 attempted
Sem 3: ( Here i come ) = All Clear of 5+3 Attempted
Sem 4: Awaiting results.. Maths 3 might be back .. again Non IT subject
First Year total : 56% ( after i cleared all )
sem 3: 59%
I just mentioned all this to give u a rough idea of wats going on with me coz some companies have backlog policy , so i might not be allowed even though i have d potential / eagerness & grasping power
My question
I have now entered Third year and would like to start planning for my future.
Frankly speaking , i dont think comapnies like google , ebay , fb , etc etc will pick me as a fresher after BE.
If i try to settle with a job after my BE , i am well aware i wont be getting more than 20-25K per month for the start and then have to go my way up.. bt there is no guarantee that i will reach my dream companies where i have status and filled pockets one day , So.. Higher Education is the choice and i m ready for it.
1. ME / Mtech in India via GATE Exam
2. MS in foreign via GRE , TOFEL
3. MBA
The Gate is tough from technical aspect and there is no provision for coaching and stuff in my city. Here we get a book of G.K publications which has some MCQ ( around 200 per topic ) and the students go for d exam and no one cracks a 70%+ percentile and hence non eligibility.
Self learning will be a little tough considering d strict attendance rule of my College + my company role as well
It is conducted once a year and we can re appear , but i really wanna give a thought that whether it is worth it ? even if i crack the GATE somehow a sudden shift in IIT competitive environment , will i be able to manage and stuff. I believe in doing the best in whatever i do
----
TOEFL is english based.. no prob
GRE is like all those aptitude test. i give a lot of them at college fest and even end up with good scores. but my academic record is not that great ( i think so ) that i will get scholarships.. and its meaningless for me to think abroad without scholarship ( atleast a partial )
This can be re-appeared number of times but around 6500rs per attempt.. so i dont think any1 will think of re-attempt again and again
-------
MBA.. i have nt though of much upon this as i am of the belief that when i m paying so much in engg , taking so much pains , y shud i end up doing MBA ? MBA is gr88 , no doubt but i could have become a MBA by 12 + 3yrs Bcom and then MBA.. though people say after engg MBA is good as u have technical and management side as well , but cmmon u dont say i passed 12th and i m 10th passed too
,
So i would like ur help in suggesting me some ideas u feel will be right for me
Strengths:
I Dont Mind long work hours
Would love to learn new things
Good grasping power
Solid Troubleshooting Skills
Good Communication Skills
Weakness:
I hate Calculus
Subjects like computer architecture , microprocessor , IC`s are not my types for sure. i dont mind the basics but they r not for me
Ready for all the PAINS if they guarantee a GAIN !!
Regards
