This is Nikhil Krishna B from Rajalakshmi Engineering College, Chennai. I am part of the Pega UAP program as I want to learn a new skill with wide opportunities. With this skill I have an application development environment namely Pega, which can be used to develop digital solutions.
Talentsprint has played a great role in providing me the platform to learn, practice and understand the concepts in Pega. It also has provided me with the relevant job opportunities based on this skill. I would like to thank my trainer Mr.Jagannathan A for guiding me throughout the journey. He always helped me when I need clarity in the concepts learnt. He is a person with great level of patience and was a great Guru guiding me to reach where I am today.
Moving on to the placement preparation, I feel the weekly aptitude assessments is a great initiative from Talentsprint. It really helps in aptitude preparation as companies generally conduct their first round testing our aptitude skills. The six day bootcamp was a great opportunity to improve my communication skills, presentation skills and team work. The Hackathon which was a solo event, was a great test for my Pega skills and was a great learning experience too. The preparatory sessions held before the placement drive were a great revision as they summarised the concepts learnt.
Coming to the placement drive, in the first round we wrote an Aptitude+ Pega test for 165 minutes. The main challenge here was that we had a timer for each question and once that timer is exhausted, we will not be able to go back to that question. I feel this was the greatest test to my abilities and skills. I answered with all the knowledge I had and after about a week I was selected for the interview round. I After one week the results were published and I am happy to know that I have been selected.
