SUCCESS PATH
I present myself to all Vishnu family feathers of
my alma mater, BVRICE, as Kaliprasada Raju
Rudraraju. I am proud to say that I am an MCA
student passed out in 2003 and more proud to
claim that I am one of the eye catchers in my
batch. Hailing from a poor family, I sailed a
hardship during student life which made me
realize the necessity of uplifting measures in
the latter part of my growth. As a Technical
Lead (Engineering) for Pegasystems
Worldwide India Pvt. Limited (Subsidiary of
Pegasystems Inc.), I look after most
prestigious projects. My earlier assignments
were with Honeywell as Architect–
Configuration Management, Siemens and
Ness Technologies as Manager- Technical
Services, but no regrets anywhere. I am as just
I am, of course, more experienced but still
young. I am very happy to know that our
Vishnu Educational Society is bringing out a
quarterly news magazine, Vishnu Era, and I
wish to utilize this platform to share my as well
as recruiters' views on IT job aspirants. The Six
skill set that are normally expected by the
recruiters includes Basic Subject knowledge,
Technical knowhow, Hard work, Commitment,
Communication Skills and above all Right
Attitude. Here I am trying to emphasize these
aspects to the best of my knowledge.
BASIC SUBJECT KNOWLEDGE
The recruiters expect strong basics in all the
subjects that are a part of the curriculum of the
aspirants. But it is mostly found that some of
the students are inclined to get detailed
knowledge in one or two subjects (which are
interesting to them) and give less priority to
others. It is essential for all new comers that
they must be having minimum basics in all the
subjects learnt.
TECHNICAL KNOWHOW
The aspirants are good at some of the
concepts of a programming language and
writing programs, but they do not try to get
decent implementation level knowledge. They
do not think much from the applications point
of view. But, from the aspirants the recruiters
expect basic programming skills, good logical
thinking ability and analyzing the problem
from all angles.
HARDWORK
Patience and Persistence are much required
from the fresh graduate point of view. There
come honesty and loyalty if you have this
virtue of hard work. Instead, some of them are
not ready to put those extra hours required and
go beyond the scope. This has to be practiced
as much as possible to make it almost like a
habit.
COMMITMENT
Choosing career in software industry should
be like a real goal to the candidates and with
passion they have to dream about shaping
their future in this world. The hard work,
persistence and vision to a career are very
important when you start your journey. But
some of the students come by accident into
this field and struggle a lot to find the balance
between work and satisfaction. So they need
to be very clear and be ready to put the effort
that is required to reach heights.
COMMUNICATION SKILLS
Missing clarity and a bit indecisive while
giving answers to the point are the two major
hurdles our fresh graduates are facing. At
times they are trying to impress too much (this
will become negative point most of the times)
by thinking that if we talk more and at length,
that would be considered as great skill. This is
totally wrong. In fact, the recruiters look for
clear and crisp presentation. Rather, how
confident you are while speaking and how you
are able to put across your views is more
significant. Answering to the point (not more
and not less) is really an excellent good quality.
RIGHT ATTITUDE
Some of the aspirants do not carry the right
attitude and this will create a negative
impression. Some of them don't take the
things with open mind and can't think from
broader perspective. Thinking out of the box is
the need of the hour. Positive and inspirational
voice culture attracts every one. You should try
to be role a model and guide who can motivate
and show the path to others. No scope for
selfishness and silo style of work ethics.
MY HUMBLE SUGGESTION TO FRESH
GRADUATES
Get your fundamentals/basics right and come
to the battle field like an unbeatable warrior
with a very positive mind set and energy levels.
Possess good logical and reasoning ability
with smart/creative ways to propose solutions
to a problem. Try to be confident and clear in
your communication. Show good attitude and
nice gestures during all your interactions with
others. Hard work, dedication, commitment
and career planning are must to succeed in
this industry.

to final year B.Sc, and B.Com. students on 09.09.2015. The students were taught how to face interviews, how

Hardwork Pays Off !!
Coming from a rural background and achieving something that only a few could imagine is really a matter of
pride. This is true for Ms Sri Ramya of BVRICE. It is believed that only an engineering student can get into a Big
Multinational company. But Sri Ramya proved it otherwise. Completing her graduation with MEC, she got
selected to one of most valuable companies of the world SAP. Congratulations!!.
