Smruti Ranjan Pradhan secured a pre-placement offer from Accenture within 20 weeks of the program commencement. Let's hear what Smruti has to say about his experience at AlmaBetter.

Hey everyone, my name is Smruti Ranjan Pradhan. I hold a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in physics from the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research. After completing my college education, I joined AlmaBetter to build my career in Data Science. I secured a job at Accenture as a Data Analyst with the help of AlmaBetter’s robust curriculum within 20 weeks of the program commencement. I have always been interested in Data Science and machine learning. The moment I realized the kind of impact this kind of revolutionary technology could have on different sectors in the coming years, I knew I had to pursue a career in the field of Data Science.

Although I had the basic knowledge of Data Science concepts and algorithms, I had no exposure to implementing them in the industry and adding value to the business. That’s when I decided to join AlmaBetter. AlmaBetter’s unique curriculum and a fantastic group of mentors caught my attention. From regular mentorship sessions to insightful Capstone projects, everything was just perfect. Moreover, the impressive Pay After Placement model is something that inclined me to go for AlmaBetter. Also, the unsurmountable drive for outcome-based learning is what makes Almabetter stand out in the crowd.

Talking about my learning experience at AlmaBetter, it was just outstanding. The fun quizzes kept me glued to the lectures, which ultimately helped me revise the concepts faster. AlmaBetter makes sure that their students are well-versed with the essential concepts that will be helpful during the job interviews. Moreover, the One-on-One Mentorship sessions were a cherry on the cake. The mentors helped me get a glimpse of first-hand industry experience in Data Science. AlmaBetter also kept me updated with the latest trends and workflows in the Data Science field.

AlmaBetter also conducted Capstone Projects, which expanded my knowledge of the industry. Working on Capstone projects is the perfect way to boost technical skills and team and communication skills. It was the best way to showcase my skills and prove my credibility to the recruiters. Moreover, at AlmaBetter, I was fortunate to work with a couple of incredible teams on exciting projects.

Furthermore, the AMA sessions were a weekly dose of pure motivation. Industry experts enlightened us with their experience in the Data Science field. We also learned how Data Science is benefiting various industries like technology, finance, healthcare, etc.

AlmaBetter also conducted communication training in collaboration with Utter. The workshop with Utter helped me boost my communication and interviewing skills. Moreover, working in teams during Capstone Projects taught me the nitty-gritty of team management. Also, tight deadlines for assignments and projects help me improve my time management skills.

During my placement journey, I learned how to showcase my skills and expertise through blog posts. I also learned how to present my ideas to my connections and make the best possible use of my time to engage more people in my network. The entire placement workshop prepared me well for all my subsequent endeavors. The constant support and motivation from the whole AlmaBetter team throughout the process were invaluable. The Mock Interviews helped me defend my resume efficiently and boosted my confidence for the actual interview. Multiple mock interviews prepared me for facing different questions and tasks with confidence. The subject-specific mock sessions during the one-on-one mentorship sessions also helped me develop my technical and data science skills.

My journey at AlmaBetter was exceptional. Having the scope to learn and grow alongside some fascinating cohort members amidst the chaos of the pandemic was quite a novel experience altogether. My message to all the students would be to trust the process and stay patient. AlmaBetter will make sure you secure the perfect job.
