Most students think that after class X the only option is to enrol in class XI and prepare for various competitive exams. However, even after class X students can make a choice to study a subject of their choice and get ready to enter the world of work. With possibilities to join diploma courses in various fields such as interior design, garment technology, printing, electronics, civil, and many more the choices are immense. There are many employers who look for well trained youth for entry level jobs. Diplomas are often offered within polytechnics. There were ten reputed government polytechnics in Delhi. For better education of students and providing more future opportunities to students all of them have been merged under DSEU. Fifteen different diplomas are being offered at DSEU. In the hope of sharing wider choices with students just passing out of Class X and to honour our alumni we want to share some of the stories of our alumni. Students who completed their diplomas have gone ahead and made a mark in various fields such as construction, research, business, and teaching.

If yes, please write your story and email us at success-stories@dseu.ac.in I love plants and flowers. Over the last ten years I have been creating a beautiful garden which is a source of joy to myself, my friends, and family. I use my skills at gardening to destress myself and grow gifts for all my friends. -- Prof. (Dr.) Neharika Vohra I fundamentally believe that each individual must have one skill with which he or she is able to earn a livelihood for life. It could range from anything between moulding an earthen pot to drawing a digital sketch. I found my calling in making ‘maps’. I formally learnt cartography as part of my ‘Urban Planning’ course, and have used this skill of representing information on maps in varied domains such as planning for water networking, waste management and even education. Looking at urban challenges spatially gives a whole new perspective towards understanding of the problem and helps in resolving them. There is a certain joy in making a map, drawing each line, attaching the right information or attribute to each entity and even choosing the colours to represent items; it is a sheer joy! And only when you can find joy in your skill is when you will be able to make a truly inspiring product. -- Mr. Aditya I love how a camera makes it possible for us to capture precious and significant moments in life. I have always enjoyed clicking photographs and the feeling of holding a developed film in my hands. I discovered my passion for photography during my first year of undergrad. With practise and guidance from my college senior, I was able to polish and refine my skill of photography, which not only made me a better photographer but also made me able enough to lead my college’s Film and Photography Club. -- Ms. Arushi Singh Despite my expertise in Mechanical Engineering, when it came to realising my dream of developing a car, I was baffled. It took the integration of my knowledge, the skills of my hands and the dedication of my soul to bring my dream to reality. Apart from proficiency, my hands-on abilities yielded patience and leadership traits in me, qualities no books ever could have. -- Mr. Vismit Gupta My passion to learn art and design led me to enrol in a four-year degree programme at the Indian Institute of Craft and Design in Jaipur. The journey of exploring the different kinds of art & craft, methods, history, connecting with people from different cultures across the country has completely changed my outlook on life. My experience of working with various craft-clusters has made a more empathetic and considerate individual. With my skills and hard work, I have had experience of working with big brands such Gulmohar Lane, FabIndia and many more. But one of my most memorable experiences of work has been on the Tribal Arts of India. I have worked with many NGOs, art-clusters in places like Maharashtra, Ahmedabad, Jaipur and Assam. Today, I am a Merchandiser and Designer at FabIndia and I love what I do and it keeps me going. Working with my hands made me realise that art is about understanding the history, the emotions attached, exploring work of other artists, connecting with real people and learning through practice. -- Ms. Ambara Singh Since childhood we were told to choose a conventional and more stable career path, choosing a skill based career path wasn’t easy at all. Being a keen learner to pursue my career in Hospitality, I wasn’t aware about the opportunities on my way until I got into Taj Swarna as an apprentice. During the apprenticeship, I realised the importance of soft skills, right attitude and communication prowess. The whole grinding process was necessary to grab industry experience, which most students lag nowadays -- Mr. Gautam Arora Becoming a chef at a prestigious hotel chain seems like a dream right? Yes, it did to me as well. I chose to pursue a career in the Hospitality industry while learning the basics. I got an apprenticeship opportunity at Taj Swarna. I cannot express how it molded my skills and carved them to a perfect extent. For overall growth, it taught me to value communication skills, leadership skills, and the importance of a positive mindset. I have learned working even under pressure, and every day is a challenge but the good part is I am always ready for this. No classroom can teach this, I am grateful that I chose to hustle for what I wanted to learn. -- Mr. Jagroop Singh It was the summer of 1998. I was studying in Canada and I was very low on money. My advisor was taking the summer off so I could not be his research or teaching assistant. I was wondering what I could do? I used my skill of teaching to offer a course on cross-cultural psychology to undergraduate students. Until that summer this course had never been offered at my university. I got permission to teach the course from the department. Not only did I make enough money to tide over the summer. I had an exciting summer learning, developing, and teaching the course. I also got so interested in the topic that some of that work became the basis of my doctoral work. -- Prof. (Dr.) Neharika Vohra I often heard about the importance of skills and the right attitude to make things work, and always wondered if I am also skilled like that, in a way that makes me special. Before me, my mentors realised my super skill to be the power to draw inferences. I had a quick eye to look at data and catch patterns, draw inferences and make suggestions based on my analysis. To strengthen the skill I did some online MOOC courses also to aid it further. Data analysis, interpretation, inference are parts of work which I love and excel at. And they make me love my work, all the more, and be more productive at work. It might seem a strictly professional skill, but I feel this success also translated to my personal life as being able to analyse situations better makes you more confident and a better communicator, data driven. -- Kaveri Malik The Delhi Skill and Entrepreneurship University is committed to ensure an inclusive environment for all the students.
