\"I-was-depressed-after-failing-in-3-subjects.-Heres-how-I-finally-overcame-code-o-phobia-and-topped-my-exams.\"About the Author:<\/strong> Ankush Sharma is pursuing B.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering from University of Petroleum and Energy Studies, Dehradun. He joined Internshala Trainings for learning\u00a0Android<\/a><\/strong> and shares how this decision transformed his life.<\/em><\/p>\n

Demolition, desperation, and depression.<\/em> These three words became synonymous with my life after the first year of college. Being a computer science student with absolutely no coding background meant that I needed to put in double the efforts. However, when it came to coding, I failed thrice in exams and got backlogs in subjects like Programming, Data Structures<\/em>, and Advanced Programming<\/em>. I had virtually given up on coding and wanted to quit the stream for some other option. Amidst such depression, I stumbled upon Android. It fascinated me, but I knew I could not do anything as my programming basics were not clear. When all seemed lost, I came to know about Internshala Trainings through a friend. At first, I didn\u2019t bother about any training, but there was something eerily soothing about the UI of the website which compelled me to try it once. I had some money saved and invested it in the Android winter training.<\/p>\n

The training was divided into 4 modules, each having a test of its own. Projects like making an Android calculator app<\/em> were also included for a rigorous training regime. I started off quite slow, learning and practicing the basics of Java first and later moving to Android. I was also attending summer classes at the college, studying to clear my backlogs. I had always thought that I could do any free course online or watch videos on YouTube – after all, everywhere on the internet, the content would be same. Boy, could I BE any more wrong!<\/em> Internshala had a tailored content for learning. It started with focusing on all the basics and then gradually escalated, covering everything that any beginner needed. It answered many questions and doubts that I had for a long time.\u00a0Slowly but steadily, the training helped me improve my coding and also helped in understanding the concepts being taught in the summer classes.<\/p>\n

The flexibility offered by an online training was another advantage. I could study for as long as I wanted according to my own schedule which helped me in managing the college work. Moreover, the free\u00a0Placement Preparation Training<\/em>\u00a0gave many handy interview tips and also taught me the intricacies of writing impressive cover letters. The provided support was also great. Whenever I faced any problems, I used to shoot messages or emails to them and the response was always quick. I was glad that this was not another money-hogging website which doesn\u2019t care about you once the fee is paid. The support team genuinely cared and helped me at every step.<\/p>\n

In short, this training changed my life. The same coding which was leading me into dark became my lightsaber<\/strong> (laser sword)! (Yeah, okay. Even Jedi<\/em> knows I\u2019m a geek!). I topped all my backlog exams of coding and within 2 months of completing the training, I developed two apps<\/a><\/strong> which are available on Play Store. After successfully developing the first app, my interest in coding increased significantly. I started devoting a lot of hours on this regularly and topped the subsequent exams in the next semester! I started getting noticed for my coding skills and even got offers to work with a couple of startups. Now, I have also done\u00a0Internshala’s IoT training<\/a><\/strong> and added yet another skill in my arsenal.
\nThank you, Internshala, for being my guiding light. I owe my success to the boost that you gave.<\/p>\n
