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.

In the world of computers, data recovery is something we all know and rely on to recover lost of missing data. The process of data recovery is very complicated, one that you should never attempt to do yourself. Hard drives especially, are very fragile and need extra special care when they are worked on. You have to be careful with the small components inside of them, which is why only a trained specialist should be attempting data recovery.
Backing up and protecting data should be something that every business or individual strives to do. Data is very important, especially for businesses or individuals who make a living using their computers. If you have never looked into backing up your files or haven't backed them up before, you should really look into it before it is too late.
These days, computers have become a must have for nearly everyone. Even though they are great to have around and make our lives easier, they are also known to crash as well. With computers being electronic, there really is no way to make them fool proof. The hard drives that hold all of the information have mechanical parts, which means that they can crash at any given time - resulting in a loss of information, and maybe even a ruined hard drive.
Throughout the world of computers, it's simply amazing just how many people are scared to death of losing their data. Most of those who are scared, don't give a second thought to backing up their data. Even though the thought may be the same, most people are worried more about losing their data than actually backing it up - which can prove to be a downfall in the face of disaster.
