Akshaye, 2013-2017 batch was the guest today for the fifth session in the series Civil House. Akshaye is currently working in Australia as Junior Project Manager. He started off the session by sharing the experience of working in a construction industry after graduating from FISAT. Working here instilled in him a desire to learn and get exposure and it eventually prompted him to explore the possibilities outside India. He stressed on the reasons for doing a through research before finalising on what to study and which university to choose from.
According to him, agencies which help students getting admission abroad tend to market only certain universities. It is important to explore beyond those. He also shared some thoughts about identifying good universities in Australia - the "Group of Eight" and the benefits of choosing from this league. Akshay also shared his learning experience and the marked differences in the way in which the course is delivered and evaluated. He also stressed on developing good communication skills, it helps a lot, not just for getting admission but also for networking and getting a good job. Another key aspect is developing a good personality.
His one hour session touched upon all the aspects of getting an admission to choosing the course to part time works to getting a job to managing the fee to getting a PR. He patiently answered the queries posed by the students. Thank you Akshaye for sharing your time, it means to a lot. Wish you all the very best in your future endeavours.
