From Pune to AutoCAD Career: Nilesh Sonawane's Story

From Aurangabad, Maharashtra · 12th pass (TE Civil Engineering) · ABC Trainings, Hadapsar Centre, Pune

Nilesh Sonawane — At Hadapsar Centre

The Hadapsar Centre sits in Shree Tower opposite Vaibhav Theater, a short walk from Magarpatta. Walk in on a weekday morning and you'll see students like Nilesh Sonawane — Sambhajinagar, 12th pass (TE Civil Engineering) — working through AutoCAD For Civil Engineer & Architect drills with Sakshi Khadsale circling the lab. That's the daily texture this write-up is about.

Nilesh credited trainer Sakshi Khadsale for an interactive, hands-on classroom that built strong AutoCAD Civil drafting skills and a working portfolio of civil drawings he could put in front of an employer.

Background

Walked into the Hadapsar Centre with a 12th pass (TE Civil Engineering) certificate, a Aurangabad address, and no software-fluency to put under the Pune job ads. The route ran through 2 modules (AutoCAD For Civil Engineer & Architect, Revit Architecture); each one solved a different bit of the same hiring puzzle.

Hiring outlook in Pune

Most of Pune's job ads for this profile run on a quiet, repeat-monthly cadence — small-batch hiring at engineering vendors and consultancies. ABC Trainings' job-openings desk is currently routing candidates to the live example listed in this post (Road Design Engineer (AutoCAD) at Utilitech Engineering, Pune (based on interview)) and similar shortlists at SME and consultancy firms across Pune. The funnel rewards specific tool fluency over breadth, which is the bet behind every cohort that comes out of the Hadapsar Centre.

What's left to do isn't on any syllabus: cold-apply, follow up, walk into civil drafting and site-execution drawings for Pune's construction firms. Nilesh has the toolchain and the file to back it. The next quarter is what the work was for.
