Almost exactly a fortnight ago, Edureka had launched the #EdurekaSuper31 Tech Scholarships program in an attempt to help techies bridge their skill gap and take on their dream roles in the IT industry. The idea was to identify 31 technology professionals and students who fit the brand’s criteria of being #SuperTechies. These technology enthusiasts would then be awarded scholarships in the form of premium Edureka courses and Edureka Cash that could help them take their next leap towards their dream job profiles.

“Edureka has played a huge role in foreseeing industry skill trends and preparing a talent pool ready to take on emerging technology roles. In a way, we have defined skilling in the Indian IT industry and we are now looking to help cover the gaps. At a time when the lifetime value of technical skills has reached its lowest point ever, the #EdurekaSuper31 scholarship aims to provide financial as well as mentoring assistance to bright engineers who are looking to break into digital technologies,” said Vineet Chaturvedi, co-founder, Edureka.

Over the course of the campaign, we got hundreds of entries from professionals and students alike. Each applicant had their own unique story to tell, but the one thing they all had in common was their passion for technology and information sciences. While the qualities Edureka was looking for in its 31 #SuperTechies were a passion for technology, ambition, and excellence, the raw stories from the applicants made it extremely difficult to shortlist the final list of winners.

Anyhow, after processing all of the applications, the final 31 were picked who would go on to take advantage of the extremely exclusive tech scholarships. Let’s meet them in their own words now.

Regular base self-study, in my opinion, is the core skill one gets from faculty and that’s what I used to start learning mobile development and learned how to build my first Android application. The second important skill one gets from University is to live the sharing spirit whether it is with their colleagues or through participating in student activities managed by other students which I’ve joined from a while and now I’ve become aware of how to communicate with different personalities and be friends with others. Currently, I’m a software development intern in 3545Consultancy.
