Are you a B.Tech. student or an MCA planning to have your 6 months or 2 months industrial from some training institute?
Or are you in an illusion that free industrial training is a reality?
Think again!!
I have met dozens of IT students who went through such training, with dreams of becoming ‘Software Engineers’ only to end up in some operational jobs with the likes of technical support executive in some BPO company or a computer operator in some retail store just to keep up their living expenses or working on SEO projects which can be done without any technical skills.
It has a huge disappointment when I have attended technical interviews of fresh IT students claiming to be IT Engineers, only to realize how a faulty choice in their industrial training has turned their careers upside down. What could have been a smooth take off turns out to be a crash and burn situation at the start of their careers.
The 70% attrition rate can be attributed to this one reason. The 6 months when students are to be taken though the actual thing that they would do as Software professionals, they are put on work that is completely irrelevant.
While in training institutions, there is no exposure to Live Projects, I have interviewed so many students who got trained from there that I am convinced about their incapacity to create Software Engineers.
As they say, NOTHING IN THIS WORLD COMES FOR FREE, the myth of free training is truly a myth!
There are a lot of phonies out there claiming to provide free training to IT students promising to turn them in Professional Engineers, only to end up using these students in their revenue generation activities. These students are in no way trained to make software, so they are put on company work that is not so technical. The half hearted effort of these companies to show the trainees that they are actually training them, does not make them EXPERTS in the they field they so desired to be in the first place be it an Expert in .NET, Java, C/C++ or other IT fields.
And when they are dumped out of the IT industry in the form of attrition, they could lose their career! They may end up losing direction or years to actually start on their careers.
The bottom line...
These 6 months are a Gigantic element in shaping your career. If you are concerned about this one thing, YOUR CAREER, make the right decision. Find the right place.

Visual display units and display screen equipment are widely used. The terms both refer to any display equipment such as a computer monitor which shows text, number or graphics, normally a combination of all three. Although there are not any recognised long term health risks associated with the good use of DSE equipment there are a number of short term difficulties that can be created by using a screen incorrectly.
During the 1980's individual organizations throughout the world relied on management systems which they themselves created. These were widely disparate from one another in structure and operation. As a result the interaction among the many systems was limited by their differences. For instance, one manager transferring to a new organization had to devote considerable time re-learning his place in and the methods of the new system.
The first phase of the training is what is called ITIL Foundation Training. The gist of the material included in this phase encompasses the components of an information system, including the data, the personnel, the hardware and the software. In other words, it is the basis on which the services and managerial techniques revolve. Discussion will also involve the role within the system of each of its components.
Information Technology Infrastructure Library, or ITIL, was created by the British government in the 1980's in an attempt to create a standard for the efficient and effective utilization of its several IT resources. The British government, with the help of IT professionals who applied their experience and expertise, developed and published a series of best-practice books. Each one of these books targeted a different IT process. ITIL is now an industry of organizations, consulting services and publications. ITIL is still evolving, and its 44-volume set has now been combined into eight books.
The ITIL foundation is the entry-level certification program, which will help advance your career as an IT professional. The Foundation training focuses on twelve main areas that are grouped into the Service Support and Service Delivery. The following are descriptions of the processes of Service Delivery: In the ITIL foundation, the service desk is considered, not as a process, but as a function. The main objective is to be the intermediate point of contact between the end-user and the service provider. In addition to this, it also helps to maximize service availability and provides support.
This is the process that forms the chain between the IT company and its customers. The implementation of Service Level Management can only be a success, if the other ITIL processes are in place. The main objective of this process is to make sure that the IT services offered are high in quality and affordable to the customer at the same time. Through a continuous cycle of agreement, monitoring and reporting, the Service Level Management maintains and enhances the service quality.
