Story of achieving multiple dream companies with SkillWiz

“Failure is only for a short period, but serves as a stepping stone to success.” This is the aphorism that Manwinder Singh, a CSE student of Dr Sudhir Chandra Sur Degree Engineering College, who got placed in Infosys, Mindtree as Systems Analyst, after braving formidable odds, lives by. Let’s listen to Singh’s story in his own words. I had always been interested in computer science, but it wasn’t until my third year of college that I started thinking about what comes next. As an engineering student, you have to start considering your options because only very few companies hire fresh graduates with limited programming skills.  At this point, panic and confusion set in after realizing the lack of job opportunities for software engineers like me due to COVID – which means reduced company budgets and increased competition concerning jobs.  With all these factors going against me, combined with not having enough experience coding before graduating into an oversaturated industry field, everything seemed hopeless; however, determined nevertheless! Life is supposed to be a series of trials and tribulations hoping that the next one will go well. That’s what I thought when faced with such adversities until some miracle happened during our college seminar on campus. They discussed how SkillWiz would host a pilot batch for the upcoming placement drive for 3rd-year students.  It then dawned upon me that this could very well be my turn at success as I can easily brush up my knowledge of Java, Data Structure, DBMS, Aptitude, Algorithms, competitive coding and Dynamic programming. I looked no further and enrolled myself on the program.  Here is a detailed illustration on how I prepared for my campus placements in six months:  First Month: During the first week, I invested a good amount of time exploring the platform, analyzing its features, and leveraging it in my best form. There were several metrics like overall class performance, individual student progress, strengths and weaknesses, etc., that shaped my preparation, helped me learn from my mistakes, and others. The platform also had a discussion forum where students can post doubts, motivational quotes, talk to their peers and comment on their posts, just like Facebook.  A very important aspect of any campus placement preparation happens to be the focus on key areas like Data Structures, Binary System and Aptitude. SkillWiz had an entire section on Aptitude and Reasoning which thoroughly helped me throughout my preparation. I didn’t have to refer to any other book as the aptitude questions were comprehensive and met the industry standards.  Second Month: Slowly and steadily, I brushed up topics like DSA, OOPs and DBMS. Since, during interviews, companies focus the most on coding rounds, I practised writing codes in my compiler and got it verified by my mentors through test cases. This was a win-win situation as I improved my Java programming skills and got a mini exposure to industry-level coding. Initially, it was difficult as we were only taught C and SQL in our college. And C, despite being object-oriented programming, isn’t dynamic in nature like Java, so learning Java was one of the best decisions.   Third Month: After rigorous learning and practice for two months, I finally gained the confidence to solve the mocks. Until the second month, I was stuck in Level 1, but as the third month seeped in, I jumped from Level 1 to Level 3, in no time. Not to mention, SkillWiz gamification of modules is a lot more fun when you are consistent enough with your practice. Each of the modules contained 100+ questions, and the levels were constructed so that one requires no pre-requisites. You can be from any engineering background and simply dive in.  Fourth and Fifth Month: Now that I was thorough with most programming concepts, I began to analyze my previous mocks from the second month and tallied them with my present ones. I could see a drastic improvement in my progress in just a few months. I also leveraged the leaderboard and analyzed what my peers were doing. I tried to figure out their strong points and applied the top-scorers’ strategy to mine. It really worked well for me. During my free time, I also spent some time learning Javascript, APIs and React JS. And trust me when I say this was one of the greatest reasons behind acing the interview of Infosys.  Sixth Month: By now, I was quite well-versed with computer science concepts. So, I thought of booking a 1-1 session with my mentor, an Industry Expert for the past ten years, to get some industry insights. His valuable guidance on different companies and their specific requirements were really useful. He also advised me to prepare for the HR rounds, as well. Although the HR round is usually a very basic one, and one need not prepare much for it, I didn’t wanna take any chances and further took help from my mentor over this. I also got my resume built with their Smart Resume feature. This automatically suggests the company-specific keywords and customizes your CV for different industries.  Finally, the placement drive began. I was nervous, but at the same time, I was confident enough to bag a good-paying job. For the upcoming batches, I would recommend them to study Data Structures and Algorithms well, especially the binary trees, as they are definitely the interviewers’ favourite.  If you are in your final year and want to ace your interview, SkillWiz is definitely the best platform to use. I feel there are no alternatives to SkillWiz . With consistency, perseverance and hard work, nothing is impossible, especially when digital learning is so easily accessible to students.  By Manwinder Singh, Dr Sudhir Chandra Sur Degree Engineering College

Journey of an ordinary student who did the extraordinary with SkillWiz

Sujith Perikila, a CSE student of Lovely Professional university bagged 34 pre-placement offers using SkillWiz platform for his campus placement preparation. He started out with the role of an intern as a Technical staff and is now being pursued by other MNCs as well with a salary package of 6Lpa. Let’s hear how he did it in his own words…. This is not the typical story of someone who just got their degree and started looking for a job. I had to take time out from my studies in third year when I was only halfway through, because it became clear that without any kind of internship or experience on my resume, there would be no chance of getting hired as an entry-level programmer. I studied Java (Object Oriented Programming) while all my friends were studying Rails or Python programming languages; but these are very competitive fields with lots of applicants per position so they weren’t options for me. In order to get back up where I wanted to be academically by graduation day – I chose SkillWiz , as was recommended by my College Professor.  These are some of the tips that I wish to give to the upcoming batches for their preparation. I have applied them in my own campus placement strategy and noticed immense success. Read more and you won’t be disappointed.  First and foremost, make your resume using SkillWiz Smart Resume. Include whatever project you have done which can showcase your technical skills or any hackathon that you won. After this, it is time to sit back because the software automatically includes all company-specific keywords in order for them to match with their candidate screening algorithms – this increased my chances of getting selected by 70%. Then, I started solving questions and mocks from Novice to Ninja. N2N is aimed at coding aspirants to reach the advanced level of programming. After a lot of practice on the interface, I’ve found that N2N is suited for all levels. Novice to Ninja covers topics from basic coding questions and mocks up to complex data structures like binary trees or algorithms such as SRTT. I could see myself reach from Level 1 to Level 4 in just two semesters.  I loved their uber-cool gamification of concepts, discussion forums and super-innovative leaderboards in this school’s teaching methodology. Imagine not only watching your own progress but that of your entire class! I could learn from my peer progress as well as insights on which chapters I should be studying first or how much time/attention is needed for different modules by looking at everyone else’s performance too. This is like a perfect way to solve half our study plan problems! After every module, I would head for the mentor-mentee sessions; it further cleared my understanding about each concept. The mentors also shared their industry knowledge and project experience with us. Mock interviews were a powerful factor in helping me secure my job – as 80% of questions asked at my interview came from mock interviews that we did here!  After three semesters of practicing with SkillWiz , I felt like I have a lot more insight into what my future job will be like!  Gaining employment in the engineering field is not easy, but it was easier for me after I tried SkillWiz , With their courses based on US benchmarks and standards, two hours of lessons a day will lead to finding your 4L+ package job within no time!  They have been helping students since 2016 and are based on US standards which makes it easier to find jobs in MNCs with their transparent lessons.

Journey of success : Placed in Cognizant

Karthik Mayur, a CSE student of Swami Keshvanand Institute of Technology, M&G, who got placed in Cognizant as GenC, after braving formidable odds, has a lot to tell about his journey of success. Let’s listen to Karthik’s story in his own words. I had always been interested in computer science, but it wasn’t until my third year of college that I started thinking about what comes next. As an engineering student, you have to start considering your options because only very few companies hire fresh graduates with limited programming skills.   At this point, we were having online exams as well as online classes with hardly any exposure to the real-world scenarios and not to mention, there was a huge setback in the job market as well. As a result, I did no internships, got no exposure to industry.  With all these factors going against me, combined with not having enough experience coding before graduating into an oversaturated industry field, everything seemed hopeless; however, determined nevertheless! Life is supposed to be a series of trials and tribulations hoping that the next one will go well.

By practicing questions everyday and solving mocks every week, I reached Level 3 of the Coding Package in no time. The SkillWiz dashboard displayed my overall progress, i.e. My strengths and weaknesses. After completing the mock tests, I made sure to track my progress, read the analysis carefully, and note the areas I had to improve.  I have a very keen interest in quant and loved solving the quant and logical reasoning questions from the Cognite Game Package. I aced myself up and topped in Level 3. I was on cloud nine to see my name at the top of the leaderboard. For the first time, it was my learning strategy and its metrics that other students would be interested to know about.  On weekends, I had 1:1 sessions with the mentors who helped with my study plans. An advantageous aspect was the discussion forum, where I would get responses for my problem areas in just 3-5 minutes. This saved a lot of my time.  I also got my resume built using the Smart Resume feature which automatically suggests company-specific keywords and customizes your CV accordingly.  SkillWiz has given me the confidence and skills to land my dream job before even completing engineering school. I got to choose from multiple pre-placement offers, which was not possible without SkillWiz help. They teach courses based on US standards that are easy to understand because they’re transparent and insightful!  By Rounack Kundu, Narula Institute of Technology

Dream big enough to rival your ambitions: Placed in Accenture

This is the story of an ordinary student who did the extraordinary. Sanchari Saha, an Electronics and Communication engineering student at GNIT, with dreams big enough to rival her ambitions, in one of the world’s leading IT companies, Accenture, within a year of her SkillWiz program commencement.   Let’s hear what she has to say about not only how it shaped her as a person but also helped her get placed into this venture:   “The journey of SkillWiz is an ever-memorable one. It pushed me consistently to bring out the best in me and succeed in life.   My passion for coding has always been there. However, not many companies are there that help non-CSE engineering aspirants with their placement strategy. Luckily my college helped me join the SkillWiz platform, and since then, there was no looking back.   When I joined this platform, I first explored their Skill Enhancement section; it is tailor-made for engineering aspirants like us – one can easily begin this without any prerequisites.   The Skill Enhancement is divided into three modules:  Core Engineering: This module is designed and customized for any Core Engineering student looking for a career in technology. It has 500+ questions based on multiple topics; there are five levels to complete where students can experience modern pedagogy.   Cognitive: This product provides high-end content in quant-verbal-logical reasoning, based on long-term research on industry interview questions.   Novice to Ninja: N2N is aimed at coding aspirants to reach the advanced level of programming. Looking at the curriculum, it is well understood that a lot of focus has been put on data structures and algorithms, which happens to be every interviewer’s favorite topic.  Their teaching methodology has a lot of uber-cool experiments like gamification of concepts, discussion forums and super-innovative leaderboards. Imagine watching not only your progress but of your entire class? I could not only learn from my peer progress but also gather incredible insights from their performance, for eg: which chapters should I be studying first, how much time/attention is required to spend on different modules, etc. It actually solves half of your study plan problem.   Apart from these, I also availed their 1-1 mentorship sessions, resume building and validating, and mock interviews. After every module, I would go for the mentor-mentee sessions; it further cleared my understanding about each concept. The mentors also shared their industry knowledge and project experience with us. Mock interviews were a major factor in helping me secure my job, as 80% of questions asked at my interview came from mock interviews that we did here!  Now, let me give you a deeper insight into my campus placement preparation. If you like it, you can apply it too: SkillWiz helped me land my dream job even before the completion of my engineering course. I got to choose from multiple pre-placement offers.  I have tried SkillWiz and I am impressed with their pedagogy. All of the courses are based on US standards, which are transparent and insightful. If you spend at least two hours a day doing lessons, then it will take no time for you to find a 4L+ package job in the engineering field! By Sanchari Saha, an ECE student from GNIT
