My name is VadivuLakshmi Govindan, and I recently completed my Full Stack Java training at Payilagam Institute, Chennai. It has been one of the most valuable and life-changing experiences for me.
My trainer, Vijay Sir, played a major role in my learning journey. He taught everything step by step, starting from the basics. First, he guided us in HTML and CSS, explaining clearly how to build a website from scratch. Then he moved on to JavaScript and React JS, where he showed us how to create dynamic and responsive web applications. Finally, he trained us in Java, Spring Boot, and database integration, helping us understand complete full stack development.
Initially, I struggled a lot to understand full stack concepts, especially coming from a non-IT background. But Vijay Sir continuously motivated me, gave practical tasks, and guided me personally. Every day, he would check on my progress, ask if I had any doubts, and support me patiently until I understood the concepts.
They provided around 10 to 15 real-time tasks and projects, which helped me practice building full stack applications. Slowly, after completing 3 to 5 projects, I gained confidence and was able to understand and develop full stack websites independently.
One of the biggest advantages of Payilagam Institute, which I have not seen in other institutes, is their flexibility and support for students. There is no strict rule that you must leave after class hours. Even after class, we can stay there, practice, and continue learning. The trainers never force us to leave; instead, they encourage us to spend more time and improve our skills.
Personally, I used to go in the morning around 10 AM and stay until 8 PM most days. That environment helped me focus, practice more, and grow step by step. Coming from a non-IT background with a long career gap (I am from the 2018 batch), I faced many struggles, but the continuous support from the institute and trainers helped me overcome all challenges. This became a beautiful memory in my life.
From an interview perspective, Muthu Sir trained us exceptionally well. He focused on identifying each student’s strengths and conducted mock interviews, which helped improve my confidence and communication skills with HR.
For communication and aptitude, Salman Sir guided us very effectively. He motivated us every day and constantly encouraged us to stay confident and positive throughout the placement journey. He helped me build a strong resume and guided me on how to search for jobs on platforms like Naukri and LinkedIn. He also trained us on how to approach HR professionals, make calls, and enquire about job opportunities, which was very useful in real-world situations. His continuous support played an important role in my success.
After facing many rejections and failures, I finally achieved my goal and got placed. This journey taught me patience, persistence, and self-belief.
I am truly grateful to Vijay Sir, Muthu Sir, and Salman Sir for their constant support, motivation, and guidance throughout my journey.
Payilagam Institute is not just a training center for me it has become a beautiful and unforgettable part of my life. I will always cherish the memories and the knowledge I gained here.
