Are you also someone who used to get excited when there was a computer lecture in school? While many students got excited because of the AC that was present only in the computer lab, there were few of them whose attention was caught not by the AC but by the computers lined on the desk. That's the hint that you may become an IT expert in the next few years. In the initial days, students don't understand what they are actually interested in but this sudden excitement about gadgets can be your clue.
Then you are reading the right Blog.
Do you also want to be called a tech junkie? Do you spend your entire day in front of the computer doing Coding? Have an immense interest in managing IT systems then maybe the course we are going to discuss is for you. Just completed your 12th and don't know which degree suits your technical mind. Are you also going to do B.Tech in computer science and land up with no job after 4 years? Sorry, but that's the truth our parents want us to be engineers like every other student, but what they don't understand is the lack of jobs is the common problem faced by every other ‘so-called engineer’ and the dream of becoming an IT expert ultimately vanishes somewhere in the air. Maybe talking with an expert counsellor can be your rescue and INFIGON FUTURES is perfect for your career doubts.
But what if I tell you that there exists a course that supports your Coding interest and you can even graduate with such a degree?
