The knowledge and the skills learnt during my first two years of study were crucial to me and the experiences gained during my 3rd year in the industry enhanced the benefits I gained from my final year. In addition, IIT’s Software Engineering degree specifically provides with the appropriate skills for the majority of technical jobs in the software industry.
