"I was deployed as a full-time employee after my GenC training and that's when I discovered Cognizant's integrated higher education program. I was thrilled to know that I can enroll and pursue higher education from premium institutes in India, while working full-time. Currently, I am pursuing a master's in data science. Cognizant also facilitated a study loan to alleviate financial pressure for the first year's tuition fee. I envision myself working in the data science field in near future, utilizing technology to solve real-world problems”

This decision allowed me to explore deep learning, machine learning, and natural language processing, enhancing my understanding of the field. I'm grateful for this opportunity”
