Aerospace Engineering Alumni Success story

Chandigarh University is one of the leading and emerging universities not only in north India but in the whole country. When I joined Chandigarh University, I never thought that the University will give me so much in these four years. I completed my graduation as part of the maiden batch 2015-2019 of Aerospace Engineering. Currently, I am working as a Data Author with leading aircraft manufacturing company, Boeing Aerospace based in Chennai after successfully completing an internship with Lufthansa Cargo AG in Delhi. I sincerely thank and respectfully recollect Chandigarh University’s unique way of combining the process of learning the regular curriculum along with personal development. This ensures that the students are equipped with all the soft skills required to get into corporate and be successful without having to deal with a steep learning curve.

One of the most challenging areas of engineering, AerospaceEngineering deals with the development of new technology in the field of aviation, space and defense systems. Chandigarh University is one of the few universities in North India to offer this course. Though the department is young, it has attained a great height within very few span of time. The course structure of the department helped me to gain valuable knowledge and develop technical skills, which provided great support in the industry.

The curriculum of CU is so diverse that it helps to make us Industry ready. Additional training for soft skills and periodic personality development programs made me confident, strong and motivated. Also, the unique open elective lectures made me explore other subjects apart from aerospace engineering. Finally, I would like to suggest everyone that if you want to explore new elements and unleash your true potential then join Chandigarh University.

Alumni Success Story Big Data Analyst

Alumni, Chandigarh University

I belong to Jorhat, Assam where I was born and brought up till my graduation. I passed my Matriculation from Springdale High School, Jorhat and 10+2 from Maharishi Vidya Mandir, Jorhat followed by graduation in B.Sc(IT) from Jorhat Institute of Science & Technology.

I was always an average student with not so good marks in 10 and 10+2. Physics of 10+2 was like a nightmare to me and eventually, I didn’t opt for BTech because of Physics and Mathematics. However, I always had a deep interest in Computer Science, especially in Programming & Databases.

During my graduation days, I have taught a number of students and professionals about various subjects of Computer Science and used to build a lot of desktop based and web-applications which actually gave me a good hands-on in Programming.

After my graduation, I pursued M.Sc(IT) from a private university in Punjab but still felt the craving and had a passion to learn more. Also, the inner wish in me to be called as an Engineer led me into Chandigarh University where I got enrolled in Master of Engineering with specialization in Big Data & Analytics and fell into love with the Big Data ecosystem.

After the 1^st year, I got selected in the campus drive of Nokia Software R&D (it was my first campus drive experience) and worked as an Intern over there for almost 1.2 years. Currently, I’m working as a Software Consultant at Knoldus Inc., where I mainly work in the field of Big Data.

My life has been a roller coaster ride with lots of ups and downs, but I always believed, “Winners are not people who never fail, but people who never quit”.

Always believe in yourself and have the passion and zeal to achieve what to aspire in life. Life is not easy, still you need to fight back like a champ every time. Losing is not an option.
