Everything in life depends upon some word from some source. How we understand the words of our world and how we respond to them will often determine our failure or success in making life choices. Choose the right word. According to me, I am average in analytical skills. Training at Laqsh was really helpful in getting confidence in many areas. Another speciality of Laqsh is the individual attention given by the faculty. The faculty share their own experience. That really inspired me. I attended my first interview on the last day of the course & I got my first job! I am really thankful to Laqsh and the faculty. I am placed in Rapid Value It Services as a Software Tester.

One to one interactions have helped me think logically and practically.Our faculty makes software testing concepts simpler by citing a lot of examples.I am encouraged to use them,to test the application on my own and rectify errors.Lab sessions have helped me to improve my practical knowledge.

Laqsh helped me fill that skill gap and helped me imporve my Computer Skills, Testing Skills, build up my confidence level. I would always be thankful to Laqsh for providing me an opportunity to get placed in Wipro Technologies as a Software Engineer.

I joined Laqsh on August, 2012, as BLR 9 batch. But some unknown fear and insecurity took over me. Maybe it was the fear of being in a new place, among new people. I failed to open up myself. So, I started neglecting my classes. I was so stubborn, and so I decided to leave Laqsh. On the day when I came to Laqsh to present my application, to drop the course, something happened. The faculties of Laqsh took a hold of me, because somehow they knew that this act of mine was suicidal. They were not willing to give up on me, even when I myself had give up all hopes. That day was the most difficult day; I had a tug of war going on in my mind. Finally I gave in. I took their generous advice and decided to rejoin again. It was too late for me to join my previous batch, so I joined as the new BLR 11 batch, on October, 2012. That brought a drastic change in my life. Today after three and half months of my stay at Laqsh, I have become a more matured and confident person. I was like a lost sheep at first. Laqsh rescued me, and have so passionately nurtured and guided me to achieve to certain great heights that I had only imagined in my wildest dreams. I am so thankful to all the wonderful, most acknowledgeable faculty of Laqsh and they are the sole reason why I am in such a confident level now. And now I can’t be more grateful and thankful enough to each and every one of them for making me get through in my first ever job interview by Logfire as Software Tester.

Laqsh changed me a lot. I was very scared to speak before people even in my mother tongue. It got reduced because of Laqsh's education. It is the best platform to learn and upgrade ourselves.The faculty are very helpful & attend to each & every student.The main attraction is it has lot of activities.Laqsh helped me to get through the first interview itself.I got selected in Rapid Value IT Services in Kerala as a software tester. I am very happy

The surest way not to fail is to determine to succeed.”- Richard Brinsley Sheridan I’m a B.Tech graduate from IIMT, Uttar Pradesh. I come from a business family. My native is Sitapur. My mother is a teacher of Mathematics and sister a Credit officer at the Bank of Baroda. After completing my graduation I gave a job mentor test conducted by the fresher’s world (helps in analyzing ones aptitude and technical skills). I also looked for jobs but didn’t find anything suitable or interesting. That is when I decided to specialize in a specific domain. I decided to move to Bangalore as it provides good job opportunities in the IT sector and majority of the IT companies are based in Bangalore. I got to know about Laqsh courses through fresher’s world. After joining this course, “My technical and practical knowledge have improved. I gathered skills which helped me clear interviews. Also, I have also become very confident”. Sushma Nagendra and Mr Kannan were my favorite teachers. They used very different teaching methodologies which were easy to understand. My dream is to work with Google. Currently I’m placed at INTEGRA MICRO SOFTWARE SERVICES PVT. LTD, Bangalore as Software Engineer Testing. My advice to everyone is, “One should be confident and never give up. One should have the willingness to learn and adapt then everything will fall into place.”

Training at Laqsh was really helpful in getting confidence in many areas. There are many institute that have similar kind of stuffs but the specialties about Laqsh is its individual attention and its curriculum. Apart from this what can I say about Technical training when person like Kanan Sir and Sushma Mam who has 20 yrs of experience with them are itself in this. Must say that if we have the problem Kanan sir has the solution.

The word LAQSH itself holds a special meaning in my heart. I'm glad to be a part of the LAQSH family. Before joining this institute for manual testing I had no idea about this field as I was from a commerce background. After coming to LAQSH I learnt many things other than the subjects; I got rid of stage fear, I am more confident, my communication skills have improved all of which is very important in this competitive world. Laqsh has excellent facilities & very good faculty who help us in all aspects. With the help of all the faculties and our effort we are happily placed in WIPRO as software engineers. Last but not the least I would like to thank Laqsh for making my career.
