Guidance Required For My Career, Help me with my career Options

[tusharhaldanker82]

I am BE in Electrical from Mumbai University and I have Just completed my Engg. two months back. My academic performance was very bad, it took me 6 years to complete my Engineering. I want to know what extra courses should I do to bring my carrier back on track. I am mostly interested in sofware courses. Can somebody suggest suitable courses which have demand in the market and the suitable institutions, like in Poona or Bangalore ?

Thank you very much Natureji for your thoughts and suggestions.
Actually I stay in Goa and right now there are no jobs for Electrical Engnrs in Goa. So I am worried that I have already wasted 2 yrs and now I am wasting more. Thats why I want to do something instead of sitting idle at home.

Shivaniji thank you too for your concern.
No Shivaniji none of my friends are interested in software. Actually I am a bit confused about my carrier

Tushar,

I may be able to help you think through your options, if you indulge me and answer my questions as honestly (and as precisely) as you can. This shouldn't take very long. Here's the first set -

1) Does your immediate family reside in Goa also? If not, where are they located.
2) How willing are you to live away from your near and dear ones for a span of at least 5 and upto 10 years (of course, visiting them once in a while)
3) What was your favorite subject in 9th standard? Why?

This seems to be a better idea hits. so here are my answers.

1) Yes my family and me have forever resided in goa.
2) I have spent 4-5 years in hostel so leaving my home is not a problem for me.
3) Maths, not only in 9th standard but throughout my education maths was my favourite subject. Reason..... I like to solve problems, complicated problems, I like to put my brains in the problems.


Pradeepji can you tell me which are the top software institutes in bangalore? And what will be the fees like if I take up Oracle and Java?

Great Tushar. Here're my next set of questions. Now, take some time to answer these questions (and keep in mind the answers in your previous post). It may involve doing some research (Shivani has already set you up in the right direction) -

1) Given your background an an engineer (and as an electrical engineer), and given your obvious interest in Math, what are the top 5 areas that you think are suitable for you to begin a career? (try to be broad here - software may be just one category at this stage).

2) Of the above top 5 areas, can you now split the top 2 areas into 5 each, thereby giving you 10 distinct areas of opportunity (keep in mind that at this stage we are not worried about job prospects, salaries, etc...)

At the end of the day, you should have upto 10 separate areas of interest and opportunity in front of you. In the process, you should have gained a broad knowledge of what these areas entail. We will get into specifics the next time.
