Around 100,000 students enroll for software courses in Ameerpet, Hyderabad every year. Most do so post their graduation, forced to do so to refine their skills in programming languages because as we know the college degrees don't cover much and what they do students don't ever get to practice because of time constraints and the amount of useless theory, assignments thrown in just so that they have something to do for the 3-4 years they are to be college another testimony as to how broken the higher education system.
The error in judgment made is the duration of the courses in Ameerpet. New batches are started once a certain number of students enroll in so the lectures are limited to an hour a day or even less i.e the course duration increases so that the classes can get more and more students.
Before I enrolled in for SAP ABAP training at Epic Technologies (akm Kvensys) one of the classes there I made some inquiry calls to ask about the duration, fees etc. While the fees are low compared to other places in the 12k-14k range, and I was satisfied with the teaching method and pace, they fool you on the duration. Initially on the phone they'd say its a 2 month course, then sometimes 2-2.5 months and once I got there and started the course they told me it may go up to 3 months, their trick was a simple one i.e. to just tell you what you want to hear and pacify you. In the end I finished the course in 5 MONTHS! The official SAP course gets over in 25 days, so you can only imagine what conclusion the employers will draw from this.
This is an important issue because after your graduation if you spend too much unemployed it makes a certain impression, not to say bad but it doesn't shine much too. So if you are considering enrolling for courses in Ameerpet do keep the duration in mind. Don't go by what your coaching center management will tell you (that if they have a management in place!). Also all coaching centers provide the option to sit for multiple lectures (call fast track) and finish the course so you may use this but be careful to practice your stuff on a daily basis. And to tell you from experience go for the fast track batches and practice and ask doubts on a WAR-FOOTING because as soon as you are done you will be applying for interviews and nowadays employers don't give you a second chance. One wrong answer to their question and you are out. And once you are done with the course the momentum to study and practice goes on diminishing, so see to it that you hang out with the biggest nerds in the class and practice well and do so daily.
Other Delays
Lectures in classes here are often cancelled for silly reasons and sometimes for even genuine ones so that should be taken into account as well. During my course around 20-25 lectures were just cancelled so you can figure out the loss when it's just 1 hour / day and losing 25 hours for reasons not even mentioned. They will try to fool you by asking you to practice in that time but we know it doesn't work that way, so be aware.
Don't trust the class management
Just to repeat it don't believe a word they tell you about the course duration and plan your own way by attending multiple lectures through out the day and practice hard and well. Your only goal should be to get things done as soon as you can and get to job hunting. Or you will end up doing in 5 months what can be done in 2 and add to that the 6 months it takes to find work, you will be then competing with the new batch of graduates who pass out after you and that only makes it worse.
