When it comes to career choices, Computer Science is one such area that most students wish to adopt for beginning a professionally rewarding career. With the evolution of technology, the domain is continuously expanding with new fields like Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, Cyber Security, Blockchain Technology and such similar fields. Students who have a passion for understanding the intricacies of technology especially related to Computer Science, such as app development, website development, and how technology can be used to solve real life business problems, no doubt, the academic journey at University of Technology will be exciting for such high demand fields. As the best private university in Rajasthan, we also very well understand this, and therefore, in this blog we will provide a complete step by step roadmap for students who want to build a successful career in the field of Computer Science.

Step 1 – What Computer Science is all about?

Most students link Computer Science with the study of programming languages. To some extent it is correct but it is not completely true. Before initiating your academic journey, it is important to understand the various domains that are covered under this field. Apart from programming languages, it includes studies of algorithms, computer networks, software development, data structures, cloud computing, machine learning, game development and such associated fields. Thus, it is essential to obtain information about these fields and thereafter a self analysis needs to be made that which of the fields excites you the most.

Step 2 – College/ University selection to start your journey

Choosing the right institution for beginning your academic journey is crucial so a strong foundation can be laid for future success. When it comes to prominent factors to check, it includes, the faculty, familiarity with advanced technologies, updated curriculum and not continuing with old technologies, advanced labs for gaining practical knowledge, strong tie-ups with industry along with ample training, internship and placement opportunities. Also, theoretical concepts are an important part of the learning process but hands-on/ practical learning should be emphasized so students can be exposed to real life problems of the tech world.

Step 3 –  Gain knowledge about basic programming languages

Programming can be considered as the base for learning Computer Science. To understand programming well you have to learn coding. There are multiple languages but it is good to begin with easy languages like Java, C++, JavaScript and Python. Once you become proficient in these languages, try to learn the various frameworks and tools utilized. To become an ace in coding, instead of memorizing codes, analyze the logic behind it. Further, coding is not a one day game. You have to practice regularly to get a command over it.

Step 4 – Application of learning on Actual projects

Do you think scoring good marks in examinations are enough for a successful career in Computer Science? It’s actually not. Whatever you have learned in theories, you should apply the knowledge in actual projects to solve real world problems of the tech industry. You can go for small websites and applications and as you start gaining experience, you can proceed for more complex projects such as e-commerce websites, cloud computing, chat bots and others. This activity will help you improve your portfolio as you will know your shortcomings and mistakes. Consequently, it will enhance your chances of getting hired faster.

Step 5 – Build experience with proper Internship

To gain industry relevant experience, internship is the most essential part of your academic journey. Apart from work, internships teach a number of corporate related skills such as time management to meet deadlines, teamwork for better communication among team members and department specific technology tools for enhancing work efficiency. College placements are a good source to find internships but students can also utilize professional platforms like LinkedIn or can connect to seniors and professors for guidance.

Step 6 –  Keep updating your knowledge

Courses such as Computer Science demand constant updates of information and knowledge. Whatever you have learnt today might become obsolete tomorrow. So, it is suggested to stay updated with the latest trends in the field of technology. For this, you can join online certification courses, attend webinars by tech experts and can follow tech Influencers who can provide you with latest trending information. Further, you can join an online community group of tech professionals and engage in tech related discussions to update your knowledge.

Step 7 – Start preparing for Job Interviews

This is the last and most crucial step of this journey. At the University of Technology, we have a dedicated training and placement cell which provides the right guidance to students for each and every aspect such as soft skill development, leadership training, career specific skills, mentorship, along with resume building workshops. Once students are ready, they are advised to create an impressive resume mentioning their academic and technical skills, internships, projects worked on and certificate courses done.

Conclusion

A career in Computer Science is no doubt rewarding but it also demands patience, sincere efforts and right guidance from the best private university in Rajasthan. Whatever tech field you choose, there should be complete clarity about career goals and what you truly want to achieve in your career. Only then you can reap the benefits of endless opportunities offered in this field.
