From a Small Village to Tech Giants: Shravan Kumar’s Journey from Vaishali to TCS & Wipro

What if someone told you that even from a small Hindi-medium school in a remote village, you could land multiple job offers from top IT companies like TCS and Wipro? Sounds impossible? Meet Shravan Kumar, a student of CIMAGE College, Patna, whose story proves that with the right mindset and guidance, anything is possible.

This isn’t just a success story — it’s a roadmap for students from modest backgrounds who dream of making it big in the tech world.

Humble Beginnings in Kartaha, Vaishali

Shravan Kumar comes from Kartaha, a small village in Lalganj, Vaishali district of Bihar. His early education took place in a government Hindi-medium school. After Class 10, he moved to R.N. College in Hajipur for his 12th.

Coming from a non-IT background, Shravan struggled with English and lacked exposure to computers and coding in the beginning. But he didn’t let these challenges stop him. Instead, he used them as motivation to grow and improve.

CIMAGE College — A Turning Point in His Journey

Shravan’s life began to transform when he joined BSc IT at CIMAGE College, Patna. One of the first steps in his development was participating in the college’s ‘Bridge Batch’, specially designed to help students coming from Hindi-medium backgrounds. Here, he learned essential tools like Excel and started improving his English vocabulary and communication.

This foundation became crucial later in his journey, especially during interviews and technical discussions. CIMAGE helped him gain not only technical knowledge but also the soft skills needed to succeed in today’s job market.

Passion for Programming From the First Year

From his very first year, Shravan showed a deep interest in programming. Instead of waiting for the syllabus to catch up, he explored online coding forums, read Q&A discussions, and started experimenting with building his own javascript libraries.

This habit of self-learning became one of his strongest assets. He didn’t rely solely on classroom lectures. Instead, he took ownership of his learning and consistently worked on upgrading his skills, even outside college hours.

Mastering In-Demand Technologies

Shravan gradually developed skills in several modern programming technologies. His skill set includes React JS, React Native, Node.js, Java, and Django (Python framework). These are high-demand technologies in today’s tech industry and helped him stand out during placement interviews.

One of his interviews, with Dream Adoration Wood Technology, was entirely focused on Node.js. Thanks to his preparation and hands-on experience, he was able to clear it confidently.

Five Job Offers — The Result of Skill and Strategy

After years of consistent effort and smart learning, Shravan received job offers from five different companies. These included TCS, Wipro, Dream Adoration Wood Technology, ODL Technologies, and an internship at Hacker Earth.

This moment was a huge achievement — not just for Shravan but for every student who comes from a similar background. His success story even caught the attention of students from prestigious institutions like NITs, many of whom reached out to him for guidance after reading his posts on LinkedIn.

Why TCS and Wipro Are the Best Fit for Him

Although he had multiple offers, career mentors at CIMAGE suggested that Shrawan prioritize TCS or Wipro. These companies offer a solid foundation for long-term career growth. Many CIMAGE alumni who joined these firms over a decade ago are still working there and earning attractive salaries.

Both TCS and Wipro have an excellent track record of job stability. No CIMAGE student who joined these companies has ever been terminated. Most students either pursue higher studies or shift to better opportunities by choice.

These companies also support higher education. Employees have opportunities to pursue MCA or M.Tech, and the company often covers the costs. This is something startups generally don’t offer.

Moreover, both companies have a global presence. CIMAGE alumni currently work in places like Switzerland, Canada, Australia, and the USA through TCS and Wipro. This global exposure opens new doors for future growth.

Lastly, CIMAGE has built strong goodwill with TCS, Wipro, and ICICI Bank. These companies trust the quality of CIMAGE students and even ask for specific faculty members during document verification. That level of connection benefits students immensely.

Startups or MNCs — A Tough but Important Choice

While startups like Dream Adoration and ODL Technologies are good and may offer fast learning environments or slightly higher salaries initially, they may not provide the same level of stability and structured growth.

The advice given to Shravan was clear — he should only consider a startup if it offers at least double the salary of TCS or Wipro. Otherwise, the long-term career benefits of joining a reputed MNC outweigh the short-term advantages of a startup.

CIMAGE’s Role in Shravan’s Success

One of the strongest factors in Shravan’s journey was the support and training he received from CIMAGE College. The college conducts specialized training for placement exams, especially for companies like Wipro and TCS. These include preparation in mathematics, reasoning, English, and mock interviews.

Faculty members like Prof. Neeraj Poddar are deeply involved in helping students prepare for interviews, reviewing resumes, and building confidence.

CIMAGE is also adapting to modern industry practices. Instead of outdated CD-based submissions, students now submit their final projects on GitHub. The college uses AI tools to detect AI-written code, ensuring that students write their own code and genuinely understand what they’ve built.

A Message to Students from Small Towns

Shravan Kumar’s inspiring journey from a small village in Vaishali to securing multiple job offers from global tech companies is proof that where you come from doesn’t define where you can go.

He didn’t have a fancy school background. He wasn’t fluent in English. He didn’t have access to top coaching. What he had was focus, hard work, and the right environment at CIMAGE College.

If you’re a student from a small town, remember this:
 You don’t need perfect English. You don’t need to be a topper. You just need dedication, guidance, and the will to learn.

Shravan’s story is a shining example of how CIMAGE College is creating opportunities for students from Bihar and beyond. By offering industry-ready education, real skill development, and strong placement support, CIMAGE is bridging the gap between rural talent and global tech careers.

His journey is not just inspiring — it’s a wake-up call to every student who dares to dream beyond their limits.
