1. Transition A talk by: Rakesh K K Proud Alumnus of NMAMIT 1 Transition

2. What is all this about??? Project work/labs Why Seminars? Choosing Career How do I face campus interviews? And about my experience about professional life! Any other expectations? “The words I use are not my own! They are just the words from my experience and learning” 2 Transition

3. Projects, seminars and career All the three are interconnected! Final year is just the preparation to survive in the industry! In industry, expectation is always higher… So, what should I do!!! I can do only this much! 3 Transition

4. Projects How to start? How to build a circuit? Take an example of “temperature display circuit” Circuits are available on Google??? Of course, not! Directly jump on to final year project? Possible, but better not try it… Where can I find the questions to try circuit design? Transition 4

5. Execution of a Project Come out of comfort zones Friends, guide, topics Laziness to work on circuits Be specific in choosing the topics Realistic, new, something better Why not try a new field??? Keep an eye on dream companies Meet guide regularly. But why? Know each part of your project/circuit GOAL may be near but stay away! 5 Transition

6. Seminars Part of your professional life How to choose topics? Google for “Electronics seminar topics”??? No! Use wiki, ieee papers, reference books Take help from forums, websites like scribd Do not copy the reports! Study every topic and type in your own words… Documentation work tells how thorough you are! Transition 6

7. Choose a way for the best future How do I choose a company? IT? Core? Or higher studies? Whats your priority? Money? Knowledge? Will recession affect us? What if GPA is less??? Transition 7

8. How do I prepare for interview? Nobody is perfect! You must be clear with what you know Be open minded Feedbacks are not personal Understand that they are testing your patience! How about GD? HR interview? How to prepare? Transition 8

9. Some general experiences Be punctual Respect the precious time of others Growth is constantly expected in an organization So, do not lag behind and feel the pain… Aim big, at least you’ll reach the step below it! Attitude matters… College & Industry- tradeoff between effort and outcome! Transition 9

10. Few of Sankalp experiences… Transition 10

11. Thank you for baring the boredom! Transition 11
