Points to keep in mind when you select a course
1. If the counselor tells, she will place you once you finish your course. Ask how many students have already done the course and how many got placed? Obviously they are not that dumb to tell you the truth. Try and talk to few of the students who are currently doing the course from the same institution and get their number. Call them once they are out of the institution and talk to them.
2. Very important: Check out how many years of industry experience the faculty has? Try and talk to the faculty if possible
3. Check out the course completion: Ask to few students whether the faculty are covering the entire portion in the curriculum. Are they finishing it by said time?
4. About the assignments and examples: Ask whether the faculty are giving industry standard examples and assignments?
5. Search in various job portals about the availability of jobs in that particular domain
6. Get the clear idea about that particular industry. How is the growth of it? Is it saturated or is it growing? How many people are required in the coming years for that particular domain
7. Try to find a mentor for yourself and consult with him before starting with the course.
8. Don’t waste your time after your college to do a certificate program if you are not good at programming.
9. Make sure you won't spend a whole lot of money on the course. Your parents must have struggled to pay your fees and expenses. They think once you are done with the degree you wont ask for more money and they expect you to get into a job soon.
10. I personally don't believe in the statement of 100% placement guaranteed. If that's an actual fact, it will be very simple to get a job. The students have to just enroll and sit in the class simply without learning anything, end of the course the student will be placed. What a joke? So don't believe in the term 100% placement guaranteed.
11. Ultimately make sure whatever course you are doing try to give your best. There is no history of a talented guy sitting outside without a job :-)
