VITA from Vishal's Viewpoint


Hi, I  am  Vishal Maral. I have completed C-DAC's Diploma In Advanced Computing from Vidyanidhi Infotech Academy and got placed in C-DAC Mumbai. It is my pleasure to share my experience @ VITA with you.....

            Initially, I was very scared and nervous as I was not that good in my academics. I needed to learn more and more; things that college never prepared me for. I always had questions, at every stage of  the topics. Why this,Why that etc.. And I would keep asking those questions to faculties as well as  my classmates. I troubled them a lot with my questions. But they would listen to my questions carefully though silly and stupid  and answer in a very simple way. You could call it learning the tough way but I had started feeling that I have everyone here to protect me. After a long time I enjoyed my Studies,Tests,Assignments. We hardly studied at home. Most time of the day we would be at vita only, either studying, discussing, debating or practicing.

         I am very fortunate that I got to learn from the faculties with in depth knowledge and vast IT industry experience. They took our level of understanding into consideration before starting the topic. And then gradually increased the teaching pace to the expert level. That way we felt most comfortable while learning and were able to take the most of it. Vikram  sir's soft skill sessions were my another favourite. I enjoyed it a lot. While he gave us the lessons on personality development, he also taught us how a good team player helps his team. They were interactive sessions filled with fun. I might have met Vikram sir merely as a part of the curriculum but we have become good buddies along the way.

       VITA's three fold approach Aptitude, Mock interview and Soft skills helped me evaluate and improve my performance. I received feedback from time to time and also tips on where i can do better.

      I would like to thank my classmates and whole VITA family, but particularly my mentors Savita mam, Pooja mam and Nidhi mam for giving me the space to grow, for giving me opportunities to do more, letting me see my own mistakes and learn from them. I will be in their debt for my whole life for honing my personality  to a point where I have developed a strong faith in my own abilities. Their guidance and faith has carved a special place in  my life and they will always be remembered. I would never have been able to come this far without there support. Of course, there is something new to look forward to but when I think about what I am leaving behind, It makes me wonder whether I will ever find this kind of people, atmosphere or any  other aspect of life that kept me so comfortable and happy.
