I have a B.Tech degree from SPPU Pune with a CGPA of 7.74. I lack certifications and hackathon experience. However, I’m currently working under the mentorship of an IIT and IIM graduate, which I believe will result in a strong letter of recommendation. My job is in DevOps, providing good exposure to new technologies. What steps can I take to improve my chances of admission?
That DevOps experience is valuable, especially with the exposure to new tech. A strong LOR from an IIT/IIM mentor is a big plus too. Since you’re lacking in certs and hackathons, let’s focus on what you can control. First, think about why you’re going to grad school. What’s your area of interest? What program are you applying for?
