From Pune to AutoCAD Career: Nilesh Sonawane's Story

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

Background — Why Nilesh Picked Hadapsar

Nilesh came to ABC Trainings from Aurangabad — a route that often gets framed as a relocation question, but Nilesh's path runs straight through the local centre. Nilesh brought a 12th pass (TE Civil Engineering) background into the centre, where the gap between a qualification and a paying job role isn't academic depth — it's the working-software fluency a hiring manager can verify in 20 minutes. That's the gap this training was supposed to close at Hadapsar Centre, Pune, and it did.

The Journey — From First Enrollment to AutoCAD For Civil Engineer & Architect

Nilesh enrolled in AutoCAD For Civil Engineer & Architect first at Hadapsar, then layered Revit Architecture on top once the foundation was solid. This isn't a casual choice — two complementary tools in one stack is the exact configuration Pune employers screen for in juniors. Sequential completion (not parallel sampling) is what made the combination credible on a CV.

The Teaching at Hadapsar

The teaching, by Nilesh's account, was the part that separated this from generic certificate-mills. 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. In a market where most certificate-issuing institutes treat practical work as optional, that distinction matters more than the certificate itself.

What's Hiring in Pune for AutoCAD Profiles

On the hiring side, Pune is more active than the surface suggests. Open positions on ABC Trainings' job-openings desk include Road Design Engineer (AutoCAD) at Utilitech Engineering, Pune (based on interview) and Draft Engineer at Space Craft Associates, Pune (based on interview). Both shortlists prioritise candidates who can demonstrate the kind of software fluency Nilesh's AutoCAD For Civil Engineer & Architect portfolio represents. For Pune graduates considering the same path, the takeaway is straightforward: pick the dominant tool in your target industry, commit to 3-4 months of focused training at Hadapsar, and start applying while you're still completing the final modules.
