Ever Wondered How a Fresh Graduate Cracks the Tech Job Code?
Meet Mrudul Mohan, a recent Computer Science & Engineering graduate from VIT Bhopal, who turned his passion for Cloud and DevOps into a game-changing career at Guidehouse Thriuvananthapuram. Let’s dive into his inspiring journey of transforming from a curious learner to a skilled DevOps professional.

The Spark That Ignited His Passion

Mrudul's fascination with Cloud Computing and DevOps led him to enroll in the Cloud and DevOps course at IPSR. With its industry-aligned curriculum and hands-on training, the course became the launching pad for his tech career.

"I have always been fascinated by the potential of cloud computing and DevOps. I noticed a huge demand for skilled professionals in this field and wanted to equip myself with the necessary skills to succeed in the industry. IPSR was highly recommended by friends who had taken the course and found it very effective for securing jobs in the tech industry.," he shares.

The IPSR Advantage: Transforming Dreams Into Reality

Comprehensive Learning:

The course covered foundational Linux concepts, advanced tools like Docker, and Cloud platforms such as AWS and Azure.

Hands-On Expertise:

"We engaged in hands-on exercises and projects, working on setting up servers, configuring networks, automating tasks, and deploying applications to cloud platforms. This practical experience solidified my understanding of the concepts and helped me develop problem-solving skills," Mrudul explains.

Exceptional Mentorship:

Mentors like Alex Sir and Navin Sir played a pivotal role in Mrudul's success. Their industry insights and one-on-one guidance helped him gain confidence.

Real-world Challenges and Job-readiness:

Mrudul elaborates on how IPSR equipped him for his current job: "While I was training at IPSR I frequently use Linux to manage server environments, and being comfortable with Linux commands helps me troubleshoot issues efficiently. On the DevOps side, I often work with containerised applications. The hands-on projects at IPSR prepared me well for managing Docker images, creating Docker files, and deploying containers. This made transitioning to a real-world environment much smoother." 

Overcoming Challenges: From Basic to Proficient

Starting with limited Linux knowledge, Mrudul relied on IPSR’s immersive teaching methods— a blend of lectures, real-world projects, and mock interviews.

"I walked in as a beginner and walked out job-ready, thanks to the practical projects that mirrored real industry scenarios."

The Big Break: Cracking the Guidehouse Interview

Mrudul applied for the DevOps Associate role at Guidehouse through IPSR’s placement cell. The month-and-a-half journey included:

• Screening rounds on Linux, Docker, and DevOps concepts.
• A final interview combining technical and behavioural questions.

"The interviewers appreciated my ability to demonstrate practical knowledge and problem-solving skills," Mrudul reveals.

First Job, First Success!

Mrudul’s first-ever interview resulted in a coveted placement—a testament to his preparation and IPSR’s impactful training.

"Mock interviews at IPSR made all the difference. They gave me the confidence to face real-world questions under pressure."

Mrudul’s Success Mantra for Aspiring Techies

1. Prioritize Hands-On Skills:
   "My advice would be to focus on hands-on skills. While theory is important, the ability to apply that knowledge in practical scenarios truly sets you apart."
2. Practice Mock Interviews:
   "Practice as many mock interviews as possible, and don't be afraid to make mistakes during the process."

According to Mrudul if someone is serious about a tech career, IPSR should be considered their best bet. The courses are designed to be comprehensive, mentorship is provided with unmatched quality and outstanding support is offered for placements.
