How I chose my course and college: Sneha Sharma

Galgotias University, Greater Noida

I got 10 CGPA in class 10^th and decided to take PCM because I was interested in Mathematics. I got admission in one of the coaching institutes for preparation of AIEEE (now JEE) and prepared myself as well, but I was not able to clear the exam.

So, after searching for a good private college in Delhi, I got Galgotias University (which was the only option left with good placement record at an affordable price). I got admission in this college through counselling and started my Engineering journey in 2015.

It was easy to take admission in this college but since I chose CSE as the main course, I had to be good in Coding as well. In the 1^st year and 2^nd year, I was busy learning theories and I got good marks as well - 9.5 CGPA. But when I entered the 3^rd year, I saw that most of my friends were implementing their knowledge to practical situations.

That was the time when I realized that I needed to do some project as well. I got help from one of the friends and my PBL teacher as well in developing a mini-project of my own i.e. an e-commerce website for “Online Mobile Recharge System”. It is not a fully developed project yet but I am learning more about it.

So, if you are a CSE student, you have to search which are the most important languages in the market and learn at least one in detail. Now I am in the 7^th semester and I am undergoing training provided by the college, and I hope to get a good placement as well. With the course knowledge, you have to be quick in aptitude, GD and article-writing as well.

I would like to share a small experience of “Job Fair” here. In the 6th semester, School of Learning organized a job fair in which we were first taught about what orientations we require in the interview round. And at the end, we were given the role of interviewer/interviewee. We got a certificate as well for doing the best interviewer/interviewee role. But the best part about this Job Fair was the confidence that I gained for the interview round.

Start studying from today just for your knowledge purpose, and you will definitely get success soon.

All The Best!
