My ever memorable ASAP days at Kuttikanam

Source: asapkerala.gov.in/

       I first heard about ASAP - Additional Skill Acquisition Programme from one of my best friends Swarun Sebastian. He had already completed the 21 days ASAP residential camp and was selected as an  Skill Development Executive. He told me how the 21 days helped him to develop himself in confidence and skills. So I decided the next time ASAP invited application for SDE's I would definitely apply.

        Months passed. One day I heard that new applications for SDE's were invited. I had already discussed the matter with Anees Y C, another best friend. Since he was also interested in ASAP we applied by paying Rs. 400/-. The application were originally meant for professionals. Anyway we went forward as we anyhow wanted to participate in the 21 day camp. We had to go through a NASSCOM test to get in. Anees got the call for examination a month after we applied. He went and took the exam and was not happy with his performance.

        2 months passed. Still I didn't get the call for the exam. I collected the contact number of the Program manager under whom Swarun was working, one Mrs. Jincy. She told me to remain patient and it would definitely come. Waited I did.

        Once as I was checking my mail, I saw the mail sent to me from ASAP calling me to attend the exam. The exam was scheduled to be conducted after a month. As I was sitting in my class a few days later, one person came into the class to read a notice. It was related to the campus recruitment, ASAP was planning to conduct in our college. I was very happy that I now had two different options to get the 21 day camp. I instantly applied for that too.

        The day of campus recruitment came. Eight persons from my class including me participated in the first round, which was the group discussion. Out of that six were selected for the final interview. Somehow I managed to be one of that six. Interview was relatively easy. So I thought, maybe I'll get through it also. That was exactly what I did. Out of the six interviewed from my class, Anees YC, Aswathinath, Geethu & myself got selected to the 21 day ASAP training camp.
