I Came From a Tier 3 College Yet I Still Went After More
Hi, I'm Gyanendra Singh, a BCA graduate from a Tier 3 college, currently working as a Software Engineer at StyleZen.
I Knew I Had to Catch Up
Coming from a Tier 3 college, I knew I had to put in extra effort to compete in the job market.
TUF played a big role in my journey by helping me develop a genuine interest in programming and giving me the confidence to keep improving.
The Part I Never Skipped
My preparation was simple:
Stay consistent
Revise regularly
Build projects alongside DSA
Keep applying for opportunities
I didn't try to make preparation complicated. I just kept working on my skills and showing up consistently.
I Learned to Back Myself
Your college or degree can shape where you start, but it doesn't have to decide where you end up.
Don't let your background limit your confidence.
Keep learning, keep applying, and give yourself enough opportunities to prove yourself.
This Is Where It Took Me
Despite coming from a Tier 3 college with a BCA degree, I secured a good off campus Software Engineer role at StyleZen.
The journey taught me that consistency and the right guidance can take you much further than your starting point.
