- INTERVIEWED BY:- GAURAV AGARWAL AND YASH
PRAJAPATI
Q) Ma’am, how does it feel to be a part of a
company which is of Indian Origin, standing firmly before the foreign giants?
A) I joined HCL
only a month ago and when I entered there they gave me a great project on AI
(Artificial Intelligence) and they even called foreign professors to train us
in this field. So yes I feel great to be a part of such a company which focuses
on emerging technologies.
Q) Will you tell us about your journey and
efforts from an ordinary person to being a part of such a leading brand?
A) Initially I
started like everyone else i.e. by doing programming and all. Later on I
realised that it is not just about programming, you also need to explore new
technologies coming out. We should not just stick to any one language. Like if
you know C, try learning JAVA, Android etc.
Q) How far do you think that the syllabus being
taught in Indian colleges is sufficient?
A) I agree that
the syllabus is not just enough and that’s why I would say that you should
always take part in technical fests and things like that, which I came to know
are well taken care of in this institute. These things were not there in my
college. They prove to very beneficial.Students can also take projects from
outside to work on, this is again very helpful.
Q) Do people get a chance to explore even when
they are in a job?
A) According to
me, you can explore as much as you want. When I joined, I went on learning Node
JS, there a person came and told me that that’s not how you learn. It’s a
research oriented job and we should know how it’s done. We should go in depth
and not stick to what’s known but must think about the different
possibilities & that’s what job profile is today.
Q) Ma’am, what is more important- CGPA or
Talent, as a person might be very good in coding but not so in some other
subjects?
A) Talent is
of course more important but CGPA shows your overall performance. Being good in
coding is just not enough. You should be sound in other subjects too like Maths
which is also very important. I mean only 60% marks are enough and I don’t
think it’s a great deal.
Q) How do you find our institute to be-
the campus, the students, etc?
A) It is very
nice- so clean & green and I am impressed by the technical skills of the
students.
Q) Anything that you want to suggest or advice the
students of IIITM?
A) I just want
say that ‘If you love what you do, you’ll be successful’.
