Welcome to United States of Ameerpet (USA) Hyderabad

_Welcome to United States of Ameerpet (USA) Hyderabad

Hi friends, today I am going to explore a place in Andhra Pradesh named Ameerpet, Hyderabad also known as United States of Ameerpet.
Ameerpet is the training hub for students who want to become software professionals. The craze to break into software industry has transformed this middle class area into a hub for software training and placement. One new institute opens every day with all of them crammed into a few old buildings. At any given point of time, there are at least 50,000 students in the Ameerpet area, going into or coming out of the institutes or simply looking around for the right place to do the right course.
Siva is a 24 year old guy from Andhra Pradesh having MCA degree from JNTU. But the degree was not good enough to win a job. His mother and sister are desperately hoping he will get a break. That is the reason why Siva landed in Ameerpet. This is the way every student enters Ameerpet with his own story.
Subramanyam an M.Tech from Nagarjuna University Hyderabad, has been a Tata Consultancy Services employee for the past seven years. He knows only Core Java. He wants to master other frameworks so that he can demand a better hike. So, he came to Ameerpet for a crash course.
Kiran who works for Infosys, makes the best use of his weekends to upgrade his skills at Ameerpet. He comes from Pune to Ameerpet to have Oracle DBA course. The course comes at aprice of Rs.2500/- in Ameerpet, while its Rs.20000/- in Bangalore and Rs.25000/- in Pune.
Raja, who is low in academics says: “The moment I arrived in Ameerpet, I gained great confidence that I can obtain a job with in six months of time.” This is the spirit of this place and its people.
Every institute in Ameerpet will have batches where student strength ranges from 5 to 1500 students per batch, these institutes try to keep fees for each course as less as possible. While some reputed institutes are located in Maitrivanam (HUDA), others are in Nilgiri block, Annapurna and Aditya Enclave. The rest are all in residential apartments, congested shopping complexes and bungalows that have been rented out by owners.
Every inch of space on the main street is taken over by garish hoardings, banners and signboards advertising Java, Oracle, SAP and other courses. The streets are littered with pamphlets of institutes promising the best training and instant placements. A few institutes provide training facilities including proper class rooms or halls with LCD screens.
For a list of Best Institutes in Ameerpet refer to Best Coaching Centers related to programming.
The reception desks at institutes will give information and brochures at breakneck speed. Students come from Chhattisgarh, Orissa, Madhya Pradesh, Andhra and Maharashtra and even from other countries like UK,US and Nigeria and Kenya. Classes are conducted in a large shed where professors use projectors and microphones to reach out to the hundreds of students packed in,row after row chairs.
The teachers and developers are mostly employees of IT companies across the country. Some of them come to Ameerpet on weekends, often on sick leave, and earn up to 1,000 an hour.Training institutes people also earn 10,000-30,000 a month. Some top level faculty in Ameerpet even get Rs.3 Lakhs per month.
Actually Ameerpet takes outsourcing to a whole new level. Some of Ameerpets client include Class 8 students in the US who outsource their mathematics homework to India. Some NRIs allow instructors in Ameerpet to work on dummy projects,which students at the institute erroneously believe to be live projects. NRIs in Silicon Valley pass on their login IDs to family and friends who run training centres in Ameerpet,and these are then used to log on to so-called live projects which can only be accessed by purchasing.
In Ameerpet Praveen, who runs a photocopy shop, can also advise you on the textbooks and study materials to buy for your required course. Here you can get all the top level institutes study material and running notes handwritten copies for a cheap price.
After the completion of courses some head for Madhapar Hitech City, the IT hub on the outskirts of Hyderabad, or Bangalore in search of their dream job and some freshers work as part-time faculty to gain experience.
Timetable of Ameerpet Student:
Student wakes up at 7 AM and get ready to attend a morning batch class offered, Walk down from 4th floor hostel room situated near SR Nagar.
He will go to Naresh or Sathya or Peers Technologies to attend the class at 7:30/8AM. The class duration may be up to 2 hours.
After the class is over, he comes again to hostel to have his breakfast.
He may plan to attend lab at 10 to 12 AM. So that programming skills can be improved. Meanwhile he can have some new friends there.

At 2 PM, some may quickly heads to the nearest Satyam Theater to watch a his favorite here movie . For some it may be sleeping time. Some may come again to lab. Some students may go for low price high speed Internet cafe centers in Ameerpet. Internet is very cheap here. It may not cost greater than Rs.12/- per hour which comes with 5 Mbps speed. Printout also costs just one Rupee.
After checking the email updates, interview calls from Monster, Naukri.com and some newsletters from freshers job groups. He quickly logs into his social networking sites and replies to some of his friends and gets in touch with friends abroad and gets quick tips on the on latest trends. While checking all this he keep track on his favourite Bollywood, Tollywood celebrities movies and Youtube videos.
Again at 4 PM its the Tea time with famous Osmania biscuits while watching some cricket on TV.
At 6 PM, He goes back to another Institute to attend the Fast Track course on other technology, since he wants to complete most of the courses quickly so he can prepare for Interviews.
At 8 PM some people may out to meet his friends at the regular meeting points like Mytrivanam bus stop who also pursues training course in some other institute in the evening batch. Some may be found around different food corners.
He goes back to his mess and has his dinner of chapathis, curd rice and sambar. Again tomorrow the timetable repeats!
If you are pursuing any course then it is advisable to stay close by in Ameerpet, one can cut down on the commute, and you can network with others better. There are lots of Hostels for men and women, which starts at a price range in between Rs.2400 to Rs.4500 which includes breakfast, lunch and dinner. The more the hostel price, the more facilities you will get.
Plenty of love stories can be seen in Ameerpet. His dream job is to work in Wipro. But she wants to work in Infosys. He is holding MCA degree. But she has done B.Tech. He works on Java and she like also like Java. They both plan to work in Madhapur. They become friends in project lab. He drops her to her home at kukatpally during late project work at lab (Famous institutes Computer Labs in Ameerpet are open for 24 hours). He wants some reference to get settled. She helps him by providing reference of her brother or cousin. Both have big dreams related to their career. They met first time at demo class in a famous institute. They talked to each other in coaching center. Both had a coffee at Maitrivanam bus stop. Have a treat at Minerva coffee. And they proposed in Satyam theater. Anything can happen to your life in Ameerpet. It all depends upon your will.
Everyone comes here with big dreams. Some make them to come true, while others go back their home after training. There are some students in Ameerpet who just waste their valuable time.
Like Pandu. His daily schedule is: He wakes up at morning 10:30 AM. After having breakfast he will be on facebook for at least 3 hours. After lunch he will again go to net center to chat with friends on facebbok. At night 10 PM after having dinner, he will be again on facebook via his Blackberry mobile up to night 2 PM. This is his daily typical schedule. Actually he has taken break from coaching center so that quality time can be spent on facebook. Actually these type of people inspired me to write an article about how facebook can ruin your life.

How To Make A Resume
_
In this post I am going to discuss how you can prepare a good resume. This post will be helpful to students who are in the final year of their study as well as for freshers on job hunt. Even though you have already prepared your resume, do consider reading this post because you may explore what is missing in your resume.
Let us start with the format. If you want to send a soft copy of your resume then make sure it should be in .doc format. Because old MS-Office systems may not recognize *.docx format, whereas .doc format is recognized in older office versions as well as on new versions. (Tip: If you have MS Office 2007 installed on your system then while saving your Resume, save as Word 97-2003 type so that it can be saved in .doc format.)
While designing your resume leaving appropriate margins is also very much important. Leave a margin of one inch for left, right, top and bottom sides. Set the page to A4 size which is widely used all over the world.
Some times it may be necessary for you to have hard copy(printed resume) of your resume. Always have some quality paper for printing your resume. I recommend you to go for royal executive bond paper which looks great and makes the printout elegant. Never try to make photocopies or xerox of your resume.
Stick to only one font throughout your resume. Some famous fonts used in resume preparation are Arial, Tahoma and Times New Roman. Remember your font size should not be larger than 12 points except for headings. Also font size should not be smaller than 9 points. Some strong points can be expressed as bold to attract the interviewer.
When mentioning address please include your area PIN code and other ways of communication if any. No need to mention permanent address and temporary address separately. Give your address only once. While specifying contact mention your area code if giving land line number. Provide country code if you are providing mobile number. For instance if your mobile number is 9999999999 then mention it as +91-9999999999 if you are a citizen of India.
As a fresher you may consider your Educational details to be shown in a tabular format. When going for this format ensure that your latest qualification to be appeared first. I mean if you are a B.Tech graduate then mention it in the first row followed by your +2 details as next record and at last SSC details.
Your educational profile table should contain these columns: Course, College/University, Year of Passing and Percentage of Marks. Some students may have their percentages in decreasing order like their B.Tech percentage may be 65%, 10+2 is 70% and X class is 75%. (Don’t try to mention your profile in reverse order like X class details first so that it looks your career graph is increasing ). These students are requested not to go for tabular form otherwise be prepared with a strong answer for the question why your academic record is falling?
Mentioning Hobbies in a resume is not a bad idea. Some people try to mention Watching TV as their hobby. Don’t mention such silly things. Its just a past time not a hobby. Mention things in which you are really interested. Otherwise don’t mention hobbies at all. Collecting stamps can be mentioned as a hobby. But also be ready for any question related to stamps collection.
When mentioning your technical skills prepare a list of skill set categories so that interviewer can easily pick up his/her required domain. For instance in Programming Languages skill set mention all the programming languages you know like C, C++, Java, Python etc. If you think that you are really strong in a particular programming language like C++, mention it in bold so that the interview may be more concentrated on your favorite choice. Don’t try to mention all the languages you know. I mean mention only those in which you are confident.
As a fresher you may not have any real time projects experience. Its not a problem at all. Don’t try to fake your resume with a list of projects in which you really didn’t involved.
For freshers a resume of one page is enough. If you think its not enough then only go for a two page resume. Never prepare more than two pages resume as a fresher.
Do make sure there are no spelling mistakes and grammar mistakes consider proof reading your resume with your friends or if possible with some faculty member of your college.
Your Email ID should look like a professional ID. I have seen some resumes where the student mentions his/her email id as anil.crazyboy @ gmail.com or like sneha.charming@ yahoo.com . Avoid such type of mail ids. Create a brand new mail ID for job purpose and don’t share it for other things (like your personal mails).
Always try to send your resume with covering letter indicating the position you have applied very clearly. Don’t forward your resume to multiple companies with same covering letter. Have a basic idea about the company and design your objective in such a way that suits the company requirements.
Share this if you care for others. Wish you all a happy exciting job hunting!

Don’t try to mention all the languages you know. I mean mention only those in which you are confident.
As a fresher you may not have any real time projects experience. Its not a problem at all. Don’t try to fake your resume with a list of projects in which you really didn’t involved.
For freshers a resume of one page is enough. If you think its not enough then only go for a two page resume. Never prepare more than two pages resume as a fresher.
Do make sure there are no spelling mistakes and grammar mistakes consider proof reading your resume with your friends or if possible with some faculty member of your college.
Your Email ID should look like a professional ID. I have seen some resumes where the student mentions his/her email id as anil.crazyboy @ gmail.com or like sneha.charming@ yahoo.com . Avoid such type of mail ids. Create a brand new mail ID for job purpose and don’t share it for other things (like your personal mails).
Always try to send your resume with covering letter indicating the position you have applied very clearly. Don’t forward your resume to multiple companies with same covering letter. Have a basic idea about the company and design your objective in such a way that suits the company requirements.
Share this if you care for others. Wish you all a happy exciting job hunting!
