Name: Mirza Shahebaaz Baig
Education: BE in Information Technology (2024 Graduate)
College: MVSR Engineering College, Hyderabad
Current Role: Software Engineer Trainee at Aggne
Career Status: First job after graduation
I am Mirza Shahebaaz Baig, a 2024 BE graduate in Information Technology from MVSR Engineering College, Hyderabad. Today, I am working as a Software Engineer Trainee at Aggne, and this is my very first job.
This job is more than just a title for me; it is proof that, with the proper support, genuine learning, and consistency, any aspiring individual can break into tech.
Like many students from tier-2 colleges, I had limited exposure to placements during my B.E. The hiring numbers were low, there were no mass recruiters, and only a few students managed to get placed.
At one point, I even considered going for higher studies, but since my brother was already doing his MBA in Canada, I decided to stay back, support my family, and explore job options locally.
Father's Occupation: Businessman running a small private factory unit that works on inlet merging for copper and steel
Mother's Occupation: Homemaker
My father is a businessman—he runs a small private factory unit that works on inlet merging for copper and steel. My mother is a homemaker, and both of them have always supported my decisions.
They never pressured me, even when I took a break after graduation. Their trust gave me the space to figure things out.
After graduation, I took a six-month break to reassess my goals. I came across NxtWave on social media, and the student stories caught my attention. What stood out to me was the practical structure of the course and the fact that people like me, without placements, were still able to secure jobs.
Program Joined: Full Stack Development program
Start Date: October 2024
Discovery Method: Social media
In October 2024, I joined their Full Stack Development program. It was a fresh start, and the timing couldn't have been better.
Timeline: 6 months from joining to job placement
NxtWave's approach was different from anything I had seen before. I never felt lost. Everything was organised, and each topic built on the last.
While most platforms just provide content, NxtWave gave me structure, support, and placement guidance in one place.
Once I completed the program, I started applying for roles. The placement training and interview support from NxtWave kicked in, and things started moving fast.
Result: Cracked first interview within six months of joining the course
Company: Aggne
Position: Software Engineer Trainee
I cracked my first interview, and that too within six months of joining the course. I joined Aggne as a Software Engineer Trainee. This was a huge moment, not just for me but also for my parents. It was our shared win.
My parents stood by me without hesitation. They trusted me even when I chose to take a break after graduation.
And my Success Coach from NxtWave was like a guide throughout. Her check-ins, feedback, and constant push helped me stay on track, especially when my motivation dipped.
Sport: Kabaddi
Participation Level: Inter-college tournaments throughout college
I was active in kabaddi throughout college and participated in several inter-college tournaments.
Sports taught me how to stay calm under pressure, work effectively with a team, and push through failure, all of which helped me during mock interviews and job preparation.
"NxtWave gave its best. But it worked because I gave mine too."
Current Position: Software Engineer Trainee at Aggne
Employment Status: First full-time role after graduation
I am currently working as a Software Engineer Trainee at Aggne, and this is my first full-time role after graduation. Every day, I get to apply what I have learned and continue growing as a developer.
From being unsure after college to starting my tech career, this journey has been challenging, but worth every step.
