Siddhant Vidhate — At Hadapsar Centre

What does a Third Year Civil Engineering student from Rahuri do when the civil drafting and site-execution drawings for Pune's construction firms keeps showing up in classified ads but the toolchain isn't on the syllabus? For Siddhant Vidhate, the answer was the Hadapsar Centre reception desk, an enrolment slip for AutoCAD For Civil Engineer & Architect, and a calendar block that survived three months.

Siddhant called out Santosh Vavhale Sir's practical real-world examples in the AutoCAD Civil + Revit + Estimation stack at Hadapsar and the up-to-date software setup that allowed him to practice during every session.

Background

The pre-enrolment situation was unremarkable on paper — Third Year Civil Engineering, Ahilyanagar pin code — and that was exactly the problem. 3 courses (AutoCAD For Civil Engineer & Architect, Estimation and Costing using MS Excel, Revit Architecture) on the transcript by the end, picked in that order on purpose.

Hiring outlook in Pune

The Pune hiring side has the rhythm you'd expect of a tier-2 IT-engineering market: more consistency than headlines, more SME demand than tech-press attention. 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. For students like Siddhant who finish with a working portfolio, the interview funnel is shorter than for credential-only candidates.

The arc from here is the part that comes from outside the Hadapsar Centre — interview reps, role-fit conversations, the slow grind of inbox follow-ups. The training closes one gap; the rest is on he.
