Hi,

I have passed my 10th icse examination getting 73%. And i want to be a software engineer. Will it be possible for me being a software engineer with 73%? And also i am going to study my 11th in my village so, will it be a reasonfor me to get low salary in future if i become a software engineer?

Hello,

You have mentioned that you are studying class 11 in your village. Studying in a school located in a village is not a big deal, cause the text books followed by students are almost the same. If you acquire proper in depth knowledge on your subjects then getting a job wont be a huge factor. You have expressed your desire to become a software engineer. In order to achieve that, you have to take up science stream in Class 11 and 12. You have to work with full dedication and honesty to score better marks in class 12. Apart from it also make sure that you emphasize on your communication skills as it would be very important for clearing interviews. If you have good percentage of marks in Class 12, you would be able to pursue BCA in a good college.

Procedure to become a software engineer :-

- Programming should be your forte in order to become a good software engineer.
- Opt for science stream in 11th and 12th with Physics, Mathematics and Chemistry along with Computer Science as subjects.
- Appear in the engineering entrance exams after 12th and get admission in an engineering college. The better ranking college the better will be your profile.
- Opt for Computer Science or Information Technology branch of engineering. Software companies also recruit from other branches but it will be easier for you to work in future if you have computer science background.
- Prepare aptitude along with your domain.
- Appear in the recruitment drives of various companies both on-campus and off-campus and clear the selection rounds of the recruitment process to get a job role of software engineer.

It is good to see your vision in joining in a software company. There is no restriction on salary, based on where you come from, it is only based on what knowledge you have within you. There are many software companies in India either small scale or big MNC's. In either of the choices you want to get in, you should do a science stream or commerce stream with computer science as subject in order to be eligible.

You can either opt science with computer science or commerce with computer science in your respected 11th and finish your +2 so that you will be able to do courses such as B.E/B.tech in Computer science or IT and B.sc in Computer science or BCA to be eligible for applying in software companies.

There will be campus interview's held in your college where many companies come to your campus and recruit's candidates or else you can go in for Off campus where you can directly apply for the company which you wish and attend the interview in the company.

Yes why not you have good percentage of marks in your SSC. And there is No restriction on your percentage of marks. One more thing you will study 11th in your village that is also fully acceptable. So you just think off the further studies like graduation.

Since with out graduation you will not have opportunity to get a software job. And most of the cases you must fulfill the eligibility criteria of individual company criteria.
