From Electrical Engineering Diploma to Data Science

By - Kumar Ankit, Board Infinity Alumni

1. Early Career Journey

My name is Ankit. I was born and brought up in Jamshedpur, Jharkhand.

I have done Diploma in Electrical Engineering from C.V. Raman College in Bhubaneswar, which I completed in 2017. Following my degree, I started working in ZF WABCO India Ltd. in Jamshedpur itself, where I was a Line Lead for 3 years.
In 2020, I resigned from my job as I felt the need to do something better with my career because I felt that I had stopped growing.

Data Science being a trendy career caught my attention. In January last year, every now and then, I kept getting Data Science ads on YouTube. At first, I was a little skeptical about trying this career field as I had zero experience in coding.

2. My Experience With Board Infinity

As I had made registrations at Board Infinity for the Data Science Course. I got a call from Darshan Kothawade. My consultation with him went really well. He informed me about the Data Science field, its aspects, and future market. After this consultation, I was confident to start my Data Science journey with Board Infinity.

It has been a great journey with Board Infinity. Starting from my program manager, Ananya, who always guided me for the best, to coaches like Coach Ayushman & Coach Punit Gupta, both of whom have mentored my transition to Data Science.

The Board Infinity Data Science course is a well-structured one. After each module, we are assigned assignments, projects and a quiz is conducted to test our understanding. All of this has contributed greatly to my understanding of Data Science.

I also received guidance during my pre-placement phase, where the coach helped me with perfecting my resume, preparing me for the interviews, and training me on how to tackle questions.

If I had to rate my experience at Board Infinity, I would give it a 9.5/10.

3. Placement Journey

Till Ugam Solution arrived with its Data Analyst Consultant position, I had worked really hard to get into this career field. I dedicated 10-12 hours of self-study every day to develop my practical knowledge of the field.

My hard work paid off and I got hired by Ugam Solutions. I am extremely happy. It's a great chance for me to grow through my experiences.

In my first job, I felt no motivation to work but being at Ugam feels like I am learning every day by following my passion and I am contributing my ideas to the world.
