Pune Student Spotlight: Srushti Manakoji's AutoCAD Path

From Solapur, Maharashtra · Third Year Electrical Engineering · ABC Trainings, Wagholi Centre, Pune

Srushti Manakoji — AutoCAD Electrical at the Wagholi Centre

What does a Third Year Electrical Engineering student from Akkalkot do when the drafting and detail-drawing work for Pune engineering firms keeps showing up in classified ads but the toolchain isn't on the syllabus? For Srushti Manakoji, the answer was the Wagholi Centre reception desk, an enrolment slip for AutoCAD Electrical, and a calendar block that survived three months.

What Pune is actually hiring for

Pune's relevant hiring desk for this profile is open and predictable rather than dramatic. ABC Trainings' job-openings desk is currently routing candidates to the live example listed in this post (Growth Catalyst (AutoCAD Electrical) at Vtech Power Systems, Pune (₹20-25K/month)) and similar shortlists at SME and consultancy firms across Pune. The takeaway for the next batch is small and specific: pick the dominant tool in your target industry, commit three to four months, and start applying before the final module ends.

How Srushti got there

Srushti chose to go deep on AutoCAD Electrical rather than sampling three tools at surface depth. The unfashionable but evidence-backed strategy: one tool, full depth, real projects. By the third month Srushti could open a working file and articulate trade-offs out loud — which is the part hiring panels in Pune read as competence.

Srushti highlighted that Sushma Ma'am's hands-on exercises in AutoCAD Electrical sharpened her real design speed, not just her command knowledge — which is exactly what panel-design hiring teams look for.

What's next is unglamorous but concrete — Srushti is applying into drafting and detail-drawing work for Pune engineering firms, with a portfolio file and a CV that match. The training was the easy part. The job search starts now.
