Last Semester Internship

Hello,

I haven’t blogged about myself in a while — where am I, what am I doing these days? Well, I’m currently in my last semester of my master’s, which is an industrial internship. I was recruited by PMC for an internship in Baroda (Vadodara), so three of us from my class went. Two classmates were from the same city, so they weren’t worried about accommodation. I’m from Ahmedabad, so I had to find a PG. I found one near my office with help from Anish, my classmate and now colleague at the company. 😉

Third Semester Projects

Hello,

Since I mentioned my third semester journey in my last post, I’d like to describe my projects separately in this one.

In my third semester I had two projects — one in Software Engineering, and another in Distributed Computing, a.k.a. DCOM.

In Software Engineering, we were put into a team of 7 classmates, decided by the professor, and we had to decide on the project definition ourselves.

We collected ideas from all team members, and eventually landed on something new called e-society, where we planned to reduce the workload of a society’s secretary and chairman.

Since July 2010 to Jan 2011

Hello,

I’ve been busy with my third semester and placements, so I wasn’t able to write on my blog. I was very tense about my career and placements — in our college, placements started in July 2010, and I was waiting with interest for a company.

In September, a company called Paul Mason Consulting (PMC) visited our campus, and I sat for that company on a .NET profile and was selected as an intern. I still wasn’t fully satisfied, since I didn’t have a proper job offer yet. Then, in the last week of September, I found out that a company called MAXIM-IC was going to visit our campus, and I was excited because it was completely .NET-based. At the time of registration I was told I wasn’t eligible, and I was sad, but somehow I got a chance to sit for it anyway. So I prepared for that company. On the 4th of October, 11:00 AM, I went to the exam hall very tense. The test took about an hour, and after three hours I got the result — I was shortlisted for the interview. There were four panels of interviewers, and I had to face each one, turn by turn. 😅 I successfully cleared all the interviews and got selected at MAXIM-IC as a Software Engineer. 🙂
