Initially, I had planned to take the medical stream in class 11th, but my familial background progressively encouraged me to work towards engineering. Also, after our school hours, there used to be preparations for IIT which interested me and because I was young and directionless in life, I decided to take JEE exams.
After graduation, I worked as an associate Software Engineer at a firm, but nothing truly piqued my interest there because no major projects were assigned to me for a long time which led me to try civil services.
After submitting my profile to numerous sources, I began receiving employment inquiries, but none were for the position I desired. I understood that I needed to improve my skills in order to obtain the position I needed. That is when I began seeking for more possibilities to master new skills using cutting-edge software and technology.
Yes, my reservations about Masai School’s ISA did exist but at that time I was confused with a lot of aspects of my life. Where most institutions took students with some form of experience, Masai asked for none. Here the students were required to only pay the fee after landing a job of more than Rs.5 LPA.
I believe that Masai was more than just a place where we were trained in Software Programming; it was more about the overall growth in technical and soft skills. The mentors groomed the students at all levels which further increased our confidence to work on projects which required us to rigorously apply what we learned every single day.
I had no issue in landing a job because I was able to crack the interviews and get placed in a short period of time. Mock interviews and soft skill training greatly aided me throughout those interviews, and I felt more capable of being an employee.
The mentors always gave us constant support during the course and even when I graduated, they were always there if I had any trouble.
