CMC LTD CJET Training cum placement programme (should go for it or not)

Guys n gals from non cs(it) background or cs branch too (personally i think electronics stream guys have a advantage, at least they can say it was not in my syllabus but really companies expect less frm them) searching job in IT industry, and if you want some info about CMC academy that job cum training placement program it is here go through it.
I am an engineering graduate of electronics and communication stream. When i was in college i had no idea that i will land up in the IT industry, always kept dreaming about Core companies but  opportunities there are very less and as matter of fact while searching job in bangalore for six months i attended only one core company, lnt core not to mention that around 2500 candidates attended it and only 52 cleared written test i do not know how many got selected finally.
I joined CMC ltd as a trainee at 9/12  palace road bangalore.You  have to give a aptitude test, its a formality questions are same all the time and you can even take the question paper home and solve it dere just kidding.
Yeah  if you get low score they will ask you to pursue networking course but if you insist on software its all yours . It is followed by a technical interview, to warn you  its no less than any job interview but  the only difference is that its not mandatory to give all the answers as they are not going to affect your chances of selection for  the programme.A medical checkup will be conducted, you will get an envelope with a form in it nicely labelled as  PRE EMPLOYEMENT medical test, not to be very happy about it i was hehehe,you will have to go to religare lab in millers road
Now coming to the syllabus dere, its like

• c programming
• linux (REL5)
• c++
• core java or .net
• advanced java
• oracle
• soft skill (most of d tym u will hv a soft skill session only hehehe)
• software engineering   

Course duration is of 3 months but it can extend for a few days , after that 3 months project for which stipend will be paid as written in offer letter.One good  thing  about this program  is that it gives a feeling of working in an IT company. There is dress code you will have to wear formal and here i would like to mention that i always use to wear jeans for which Shilpa use take another lecture for me. Hmm Shilpa use to take our soft skill sessions, you will have a pc on which  you have to sit all the time and do your programming. Facilities are good more like a company after all its an IT company took over by tcs only point you are not its employee. Rajguru sir use to take our sessions for c programming and he was quite good at it  if  you are there do not  miss any of his c sessions he is a good trainer and very fast through the syllabus. A lady came from hyderabad to take our linux sessions she was also a good trainer and  now it was time for c++ from subh sir do not go on his looks and tone he has got some knowledge then we had oracle sessions after that batch was divided for java and .net
You can go for a coffee break on the terrace, there is a cmc canteen you can have maldrinks,badam milk tea or coffee not to pay for it yeah but for lunch it was 25 bucks now its 35 (south indian meal).

Now i have a question  for you do u really need to have a serious agency like cmc to get a job because as a 2010 fresher with 65% through out academics i was eligible for almost all the companies but if  your answer is yes you can go for it by paying 60,000 + service tax but  rest assured it does not give a guarantee of  fetching you a job, you will have to study like hell out of you for you will not get enough time after coming home, night is all yours but have to wake up  next morning for the next day of cmc sessions. Keep attending off campus drive if your are eligible of course. As a matter of fact all the trainees there were 2009 or 2008 pass out  and those who were 2010 do not  met the 60% criteria.There were a few exceptions like my friends from my college and a few others. If you  are going there for job assurance that project they promise to give you it is not that what you really want to do because if you  have completed your training and you have the knowledge you will get a job outside cmc. Some opportunities will be provided by cmc, but only a few will be selected and companies will be that you have never heard of but compensation package will be decent slightly less dan the market. I forgot to mention there is a online evaluation after each paper and you have to pass all of it and an interview to get that project(ders some bug in c++ test bcoz i was d only one to pass tat test 66 marks in d history of that branch as told by subh sir  though my friends had much more knowledge than me ders some problem with software i guess)

I left CMC when i got offer from TCS, advanced java was going in my batch at that time, after that i had offers from cognizant and lnt infotech.Thanks to cmc they gave me some knowledge but i think the money i spent for it was not worth it i could have done it on my own as there was no criteria prob with me.

My million dollar advice if  you want to take it  is , for freshers having 60% throughout you do not need it but if  you have 65000 bucks to spend then go for it, after all you will gain some knowledge from it and it will help you in technical interviews and you can update your cv with cmc certificates but do not ever go after that  project assurance. I m sure after 3 months you will not like to do that but its an option if  you have nothing  else in your bag. Others who do not meet off campus criteria,  if  u can easily afford the fees go for it you will have some  knowledge and a place to start from but always prefer a job at any start up at any salary over it.

If u want any more info u can get to me

BEST OF LUCK WITH UR CAREER
