Engineer
-
MBA
quits
9
to
5
job
to
make
music
Born
in
Bhopal,
Bhuwan
spent
almost
six
years
of
his
life
working
as
a
marketing
executive
until
he
realized
his
true
calling
and
went
to
pursue
music
full-time.
He
was
scared
initially,
to
quit
a
well-paying
job
and
follow
his
passion.
He
had
many
responsibilities
which
added
to
the
pressure
and
uncertainty
of
switching
his
career
path.
It
took
him
some
time
but
he
was
ready
to
hustle
for
his
passion.
He
knew
it
was
now
or
never
for
him.

"I
have
followed
the
traditional
path in
education
that every
Indian
household
90s
boy/girl
went
through --
engineering
and
MBA"
After
completing MBA,
he started
working. Soon
he got so
caught up in
work he stopped
playing or
producing
music. He
slowly slipped
into depression
and developed a
severe anxiety
disorder with
temperamental
disorientation.
He wasn’t
happy and felt
suffocated, not
being able to
make music at
all.
“To
my utter
shock, the
usual
societal
statement
-- 'Take a
job and
then do
whatever
you want
in music
after
that'
started
proving a
distant
ship in
the
horizon
which was
slowly
fading
away to
oblivion.”
When
he sat down and
contemplated,
he realised he
hadn’t
done anything
for his dreams,
for what made
him satisfied.
That is when he
took a leap of
faith and left
everything for
good to pursue
music
full-time.
“I
knew one
day I will
explode if
I don't
get some
sanity
with
making
music.”
That’s
how it all
started. Just a
leap of faith
and a hope for
a better
tomorrow. Which
is what his
album
‘Better
Days’ is
all
about.
“Every
song
conveys an
emotion/feeling
of a
personal
battle and
how I
overcame
the fear
and
finally
accepted
myself for
who I am.
It tells a
story of
hope,
dreams and
simply a
relaxing
state of
being.”

The
apprenticeships mostly follow an
approach of training younger generations
a specific trade through on-the-job
training. It may seem that
apprenticeships were used only in the
days gone by, but that is not the case.
Most of the Industries today still use
apprenticeships to advance knowledge for
young professionals, and the same is
true for the tech industry.
It is easy to
mistakenly think that an apprenticeship
is the same as an internship.
Internships are mainly for students who
are looking to gain experience or see
how they would enjoy a particular
career. They are often unpaid and tasked
with minimal duties in the company. The
goal of an internship is to gain
experience in a specific industry and
see if it is something one could be
doing full time by themselves.
Internships have a set period of time
that a student or recent graduate will
work for, usually lasting a semester.
On the other
hand, an apprenticeship is targeted
towards recent graduates who are looking
for real-life experience in the
industry. They are often paid for their
work and are given important duties and
tasks that impact the team. Apprentices
usually have more responsibilities than
a traditional intern. They also have the
opportunity to make real contributions
to the tech team. The goal of someone
working in an apprenticeship is that
afterward, they will be rewarded with a
full-time position at the company.
Furthermore, the length of
apprenticeships can vary between
companies, lasting from months to
sometimes years. Thus, Apprenticeship
will help graduates to become industry
ready and employable by having a
curriculum where they can go for
apprenticeship for at least two years to
get the necessary industry
exposure.
Software
engineers are required to develop,
design, maintain, modify and debug
software. These qualities are a
combination of both the soft and
technical skills needed for efficiency
in the workplace. Software engineering
skills are abilities required by
software developers to create, maintain
and operate computer programs used by
businesses and organizations.
At
Vijaybhoomi University, considering the
requirement of industry-ready Engineer
in the future, the BE course is designed
in Software Engineering which is more
about skill and competence and ability
to learn. This course is a work-study
degree program designed to grow
multidisciplinary software development
talents with a mix of 21st-century
cutting edge technological expertise
like Data Science, Machine Learning,
Artificial Intelligence, and Natural
Language Processing with small to medium
scale enterprise applications
development.
The
work2learn journey of the learners
begins with an intensive 12-month coding
boot camp where they will clock up on
industry practitioners in over 2000
hours of guided training and
personalized mentoring.
The boot camp
enables the learner to acquire the
skills to develop web applications using
the front-end tools and technologies
such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, jQuery,
jQueryUI, Ajax, Angular, and Struts
framework, and MySQL Database. Besides,
they obtain skills to create a single
page, responsive websites using the
Bootstrap framework, and human-centric,
interactive prototypes using Axure.
In addition
to that, they acquire the skills to
develop small to medium-sized enterprise
applications using the Spring framework,
Angular, React, and Liferay portals.
Besides, they obtain skills to create
competitive digital marketing ideas
based on actionable customer insights by
integrating applications with digital
platforms such as Facebook, Google, and
PayPal using Webhooks.
Learners will
gain Data Science, Machine Learning and
Artificial Intelligence, Natural
Language Processing, Deep Learning,
Reinforcement Learning using Python and
R programming with the concepts like
Statistics and data visualization
techniques.
The course
enables them to be an all-rounder with
professional communication strategies,
interpersonal skills, collaboration
skills with digital marketing, and
entrepreneurship skills that play a
vital role in the modern workplace.
In a
nutshell, the curriculum provides a
holistic view of integrated design and
development experience to learners
starting from requirements gathering to
maintenance using the agile methodology.
Also, they learn the different types of
functional and non-functional testing
methods to evaluate the project and
manage the problems by adopting industry
best practices to enable them to become
Enterprise Application Developers with
cutting edge competencies of the 21st
century such as AI, ML, NLP, and digital
entrepreneurship, professional
communication skills, agile leadership,
and project management to work in a
modern multicultural environment.
The
apprenticeship in Software engineering
in IT and ITES industry is
important because specific software
is needed in almost every industry, in
every business, and for every function.
With global-ready skills and 2 years of
full-time working experience under their
belt, the learners will double their
salary on graduation compared to
graduates from conventional degree
programs.
Large tech
companies such as Google, Airbnb, IBM,
Accenture, BGG, Cognizant, Fujitsu,
Hitachi, Alibaba Cloud, ANZ, Deloitte,
LinkedIn etc had tied up to offer
apprenticeships. These large companies,
along with others in the tech industry,
offer a software development
apprenticeship to teach and gain
expertise in coding and, in the
long run, fill vacant positions on their
team.

Life
Skills
Workshop!
What
is Goal
Setting? What
are SMART
Goals? What is
the reason for
you not being
able to
complete your
tasks and
achieve your
goals?
All
of these
intriguing
questions were
answered in a
Life Skills
Workshop by Dr.
Santosh
Dhadambe, Chief
Medical
Officer,
Vijaybhoomi
University. All
the students
were amused
when they got
to know that
they have to
prepare a
drawing.
Everyone was
provided with
pencils, colors
and blank
sheets. This
excited the
students. One
was quoted as
saying “I
am holding
colors in my
hands after 5
years. As a
child, I was
good at
drawing.”
Students
were
instructed
to draw
what they
really
want to be
like after
10 years.
Everybody
got on
doing it.
Some were
seen
making
huge
bungalows
and cars.
Some
students
made a
crowd of
people,
indicating
they want
to be
famous.
Some
students
were
reluctant
to let you
have a
look at
their
drawings,
as they
thought it
was
embarrassing.
(P.S. they
were
embarrassing).
After an
hour,
everyone
was done
with their
drawings
and each
student
did a
presentation
explaining
their
thoughts
and
vision.
This
process
focused
more on
being
specific
about your
goals,
after
reasoning
out to the
last bit.
Students
learned
how to set
SMART
Goals
(Specific-Measurable-Achievable-Relevant-Time
Bound). In
the next
hour, Dr.
Santosh
was open
to help
out
students
with their
personal
problems.
Most of
the
students
were
facing the
dreadful
habit of
Procrastination,
which is
the case
with a
large
number of
students
in our
country. A
thoughtful
discussion
took place
which
helped
students
gain
insights
into
themselves,
their
behaviour
and their
attitude
which
leads to
procrastination.
It was
similar to
a
mentoring
session
and the
students
left the
classroom
motivated
to achieve
their
goals.

Quotes

|
|
|
|
|
|
“Being
in
the
field
of
psychology,
I
successfully
dwelled
into
the
minds
of
the
students
to
understand
the
root
cause
of
their
problems
and
gave
them
feasible
solutions.
The
activity
of
drawing
out
your
vision
of
yourself
after
10
years
was
to
strengthen
the
beliefs
the
students
had
towards
their
goals,
so
that
they’re
confident
about
it,
no
matter
what
circumstances.
The
students
were
playful
and
it
was
fun
to
have
this
session
with
all
of
them.
I was
happy
that
they
are
comfortable
in
sharing
their
problems
with
me.
The
students
are
enthusiastic
to
learn
and
to
change
themselves
for
the
better.
And
I’m
happy
to
facilitate
their
growth.”

Graffiti
in Sports
Block
The
students showcased their creativity
and design skills on the walls of
the sports block. Under the
guidance of Prof. Pravin Mishra,
the students painted a graffitti.
It took them 7 hours daily to
complete the graffiti, which went
on for 3 days. In the end, the
graffiti came out to be an artistic
treat to the ambience of the
sport's block, which is also called
"Revive".
With
walls being painted across the
campus, there is a wave of
excitement and joy among
students.
