After 5 Years of Struggle, I Finally Found Success — Thanks to DataXSchool and a New Direction
“There were nights I cried silently... wondering if I would ever succeed in life.”
My name is Siba Patra, and for five years, I lived in a loop of hope and heartbreak.
After completing my B.Tech, I began preparing for government and bank exams. Like many in our country, I believed that was the safest and most respected path. I told myself that success was just one more exam away — but it never came.
Year after year, I gave it my all. But with every rejection, a part of me broke. I watched friends move on with jobs, careers, and families, while I stayed stuck — refreshing exam portals, studying alone, and slowly losing faith in myself.
???? The Breaking Point
There came a day — I still remember it clearly — when I looked at myself in the mirror and asked:
"Am I a failure? Or am I just chasing the wrong dream?"
That day, something inside me shifted. Not out of strength — but out of sheer emotional exhaustion.
I wasn’t giving up.
I was choosing to start over.
A New Hope: Finding DataXSchool
Through a friend, I heard about DataXSchool in Bhubaneswar and got in touch with Srikanta Patra Sir.
I expected a course brochure.
What I got was a real conversation.
He didn’t sell me dreams. He helped me see my potential. He told me about Database Administration (DBA) — a field with real demand, real salaries, and real growth. I was scared, but something about his belief in me gave me courage.
The 4 Months That Changed Everything
I joined the 4-month DBA program with a heart full of doubt… but slowly, things began to change.
-
I started understanding concepts I once thought were too technical.
-
I started enjoying the process of learning again.
-
And most importantly, I started believing in myself.
The trainers were incredible, and Srikanta Sir stood by me like a mentor, constantly guiding and encouraging. He didn’t just teach us tech — he restored confidence in students who thought they were broken.
The Breakthrough: Mavenir, 10 LPA, Bhubaneswar
By the third month, I got an interview opportunity with Mavenir. I went in nervously — but I came out with a job offer.
10 LPA.
In my home city — Bhubaneswar.
After five painful years of waiting.
It felt like life was finally saying: “You made it.”
From the Bottom of My Heart
I cannot express in words what DataXSchool and Srikanta Sir mean to me. They didn’t just help me find a job — they helped me find myself again.
I walk differently now. I speak with more purpose. I smile with pride. Because I finally know — I was never a failure. I was just not in the right place yet.
