Learn how to learn

I had very less knowledge on data structures and problem solving techniques before getting into MRND course. In Pre-Summer classes, I got a chance to solve a lot of problems which in turn helped improve my problem solving abilities. It helped me gain practical knowledge regarding many things like time and space complexities. Summer classes had a very good environment where everyone is passionate about learning.We got guidance from the top software professionals in industry. I have learnt many things like effective usage of data structures, how core concepts of computer science are built, working in teams,interacting with people etc. I came to know the real importance of discussions with mentors.I could also pull up my confidence levels to a great extent. With the best software professionals in the industry guiding you at every step, and the best environment where everyone is as smart as you are, I have learnt the beauty of computer science by designing the core concepts like networking, file-systems, etc. using concepts of data structures and problem solving algorithms. Apart from the technical stuff, this course helped me in understanding the other dimension of life in terms of personal development, how to interact with people and work together. During this course I have gained tremendous amount of confidence which is helping me progress in my career. With a strong motive of “learn how to learn”, this course is a 360 degree view of what happens in a product company.

It helped me a lot in changing my thought process and it helped me to explore and work with new technologies like Cloud Computing especially made me aware of how to work with Windows Azure and Amazon Cloud service providers. Generally, in regular college classes, we will learn the steps of how to build products theoretically but the faculty at Mission R & D made us follow those steps and made us capable of building products like Document Repository. Faculty at Mission R & D made us learn “how to learn”. They made us know how the building of a product happens in the software industries and made us follow that process. They made us work as a team which is essential quality a software professional should possess. The goals of Mission R & D are very clear that they want to transfer the knowledge from a generation of highly qualified R & D professionals to the future generation of software professionals. It made me capable of writing productive and efficient code and gave me confidence that I can build a product of my own. Without enrolling to Mission R & D I may lose a great opportunity to meet such a well qualified professionals and their teaching.

Personally, I had little to no clue as to how the corporate world functioned or what they expected out of a fresher in terms of behavioural or technical aspect. Perseverance is one of the many traits that I acquired in during the pre-summer classes. The exercises and assignments given didn't only improve me on a technical front but also gave me an opportunity to learn things on my own unlike the other institutions where I previously studied in. I expected a steep learning curve technically. During the summer course I experienced a colossal growth, both technically and personally. I was given an opportunity to connect with like minded people who hail from various parts of the state, all having a common and intense objective to acquire a strong hold on the subject they love. The experience helped me in becoming nimble on the technical side, thus enabling me to learn new technologies with ease. The projects given were challenging, fun, educative all at the same time. Working in teams to complete them added to our professionalism by mocking the environment we would face in the corporate world. The course also encouraged me in building my orative skills in an articulate manner by allowing me to put forth my ideas during the soft skills exercises. It was definitely one of the best things that happened to me, it facilitated an overall development in my professional and personal life as well.
