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 ?

Tushaar.. I would also suggest you to ask yourself, if you want a field job or want to sit in an office.
You have shown interest in Inductrial maintenance.. opt for it only if you want to get your hands real dirty ( literally)
In cmputers, you can opt for hardware maintanence, that would involve you work out of an office as well. I only know Jetking who provides those courses bt there might be others as well.
Then there is an option of doing a course on server, routers setup, ( Cisco provides such a course here in India). You would be able to work as support professional in any IT company, responsible for setting up and maintaining their infrastructre ( computers, routers, cables etc etc.)

My recommendation to you - considering (a) your BE degree ( interest in maths © growing opportunities in the IT, software domain, is as follows :

1. focus on IT, software through doing some additional courses as some have suggested - which ones specifically - you could explore here
2. forget about industrial production and maintenance - you may not like it / opportunities may be fewer / compensation may be not too good

i see some excellent support coming from various members ! Good for you.

Thank u Sri. Thanks because I always like when somebody recomends me for IT, software instead of other industrial jobs.
Yes many members are putting some effort to help me out, Its so nice of them.

Shivaniji Thank u too. yes I want a office job and in computers.

Hitsji Dot net and sql server were recomended for me by a friend. About software testing I know that the IT industry requires about 8000 software testers in Bangalore alone this year. Software testing was considered Once as the option for engineers who never made ‘good programmers’, But today it is one of the most sought after careers.

Tushar,

So you know what the basic opportunity is in Software testing. My advice is to do the same research for each of the areas you identified a few posts ago. That process itself will reveal the next steps.

Can you go through that research seriously for me?

Once you are done with that, the next step is to identify gaps in your knowledge with respect to those specific opportunities. For example, what skills do you need on paper (for Software testing) to be considered as a competent candidate for 1 of the 8000 jobs you referred to? Please go through this exercise in detail for each of the areas you identified.

Let me know once you are done.

Thanks
