HOW TO BECOME A SOFTWARE ENGINEER IN FUTURE?

I really want to appreciate your involvement and interest to become a Software Engineer in future when you are studying in your 10th Grade, am pretty sure you will be one in future..

Steps to follow to become a Software Engineer as follows,

-> Complete your 10th Grade with good marks in sense above 80% is highly appreciable.

-> Do your HSC either in CBSE or ICSE it doesn't matter but look through that you again get above 80% in your board examination because this decides your college to take up your course.

-> Select the good college for doing your Engineering course, as you are interested to become a Software Engineer its better to take up Computer Science course as your field of studies or either Information Technology.

-> You can also opt for Electronics and Communication course only if you are interested in Electronics side also if not drop the idea and go for Computer Science course.

-> The only advantage you have in taking up Electronics and Communication is you can either go for Electronics based company or Software based company but note that you have to cross through Electronics subjects if you take up this course...

-> By End of 4th year end you will be having campus placement coming in to your college where various Software companies selects the best candidates.

-> To get placed in the companies you need to be have 60-70% in 10th,12th and Graduation plus skills like aptitude, technical and Communication which you can improve while you come into college.

-> And that's it if you follow the above steps you can become a Software Engineer simple as that..


The question which you asked about whether CBSE as hand over ICSE for JEE exam the answer is NO there is no upper hand in which board you study but how much you score in the Joint Entrance Exam..

So prepare well do your board exam good, and get into IIT and become a Software Engineer and start a company of your own pretty soon..

Any more queries, feel free to leave a post in our forum...

You must love
programming ! If you're in junior
or senior high, and
you haven't yet
explored
programming, do
so. If you're not interested in math
or science to begin
with, you should
probably explore
other options. Get all the math
you can in high
school . Try to advance to college
level math before
leaving high
school, you'll need
a ton of math to
complete any Computer Science
program and
Engineering
program. College Curriculum Plan on getting
a degree . With all the success stories
of college drop
outs becoming
billionaire CEOs in
the 90's, there is a
certain lure that "as long as I think
outside the box
and have
outstanding
problem solving
and programming skills I don't need
a four year
degree". It's
difficult for entry
level software
engineers to obtain a position
without a four
year degree. Qualify your
degree by what
you want to do . If your love is
game design and
you wish to enter
that industry as a
game
programmer, you'll need a
Computer Science
degree. If you
want to work for
IBM, Intel,
Microsoft, Google, etc., then a
Computer Science
degree may be
good for you. If
you're looking to
work for a non- technical
corporation
building mostly
business
applications,
consider a degree in MIS
(Management
Information
Systems) or one
of the many
business technical degrees now
offered. This type
of degree is best
for most, because
it provides
management and general business
skills and doesn't
focus on a lot of
information that
will not be useful
to most. Extra College
Curriculum Supplement
your classwork
with personal
research . Search job boards and
note what
technologies are
hot and buzzing.
The colleges
simply can't keep up with
everything, so
you'll need to buy
additional
technical books
and teach yourself. Unless you're
planning to get
your foot in the
door through
an intern
position, try to find side
projects while
in school . No one wants to take a
risk and hire
someone fresh
out of school
without projects
under their belt. Internships are
great at taking
care of this
problem, but
unfortunately a
lot of students can't land an
internship or do
so only to
discover they
would prefer to
work elsewhere. The only way to
give yourself
options is to find
some non-
classroom work
to put on your resume. Develop
contacts with
software
engineers . If possible try to
develop some
software projects
under their
guidance. The Difference
Between Engineer &
Programmer Understand
that software
engineering is
not the same as
programming . Every software
engineer knows
how to program,
but not every
programmer is a
software engineer. Here's
the principal
difference
between the two: Software
engineering is
typically a
group effort,
with differing
and often fluid roles and
responsibilities
for the group
members. Engineering
projects have
timelines,
release dates,
and
considerable interaction
between
people
responsible for
its various
components.

It is good to see you thinking for your future from right at this stage, but

also , is there any need to convert to CBSE after Class X ?

there is absolutely no requirement to change the board! Not at all there is any advantage or disadvantage.

In many of the schools there is provision of taking Computers as additional subject along with Maths or Science.

The query you stated is

, for this if you start preparing from now will give you advantage.

Being a software Engineer , would like to tell you that software industry is at boom.

You should aim for Software Engineering, for this you need to appear in AIEEE, IIT or else state level technical entrance exam . You need to take Maths as subject in 12th.

Else you can also opt for MCA also its upto you.

Prepare well for that till you will get more information on this.


Best Luck

software engineering is an approach to developing software that attempts to treat it as a formal process more like traditional engineering than the craft that many programmers believe it is.
We talk of crafting an application , refining and polishing it , as if it were a wooden sculpture , not a series of logic engineer art.
Programming falls some where between an art and a science

Step - 1 :

As you are currently in 10th standard so please do you 10 th examination very carefully at first. Here you have to get at least 85% to become or to get chance in some some good institutes.

Step - 2 :

Then prepare for 12 th standard. Here also you have to get at least 85% to become or to get chance in some some good institutes.

Step - 3 :

Next get admission in I.I.T. or N.I.T. 's in C.S.E. (Computer Science & Engineering) or I.T. (Information Technology) department. There you can do your master degree and other higher educations also.

Step - 4 :

Hi

first of all CBSE and ICSE both are very recognized board. and one doesn't have advantage over other. both are good and both are equally preferred.

Since you have done your 10th at present. It would be good to take math and science in your +2. Certain junior college has the option of vocational in IT or computer science.
If you can take them it would be an added advantage to you.

Once you have done your 12th with good marks, you will have to appear for various engineering entrance exam and score very good marks.

With the engineering entrance exam marks, you can choose your college and branch.
Since you want to become software engineer, you should go for

- computer science
- IT engineering

All the best

Hi,
