From Confused to Confident: My Journey with Coincent’s 3-Year Internship Program

In my first year of college, I wasn’t thinking about internships or placements. Honestly, I was just trying to survive classes and not fail any subjects.
I wasn’t a topper, I didn’t know how to code properly, and every time someone talked about certifications or LinkedIn profiles, I’d quietly change the topic.

I didn’t see myself as someone who could “crack tech.”

But one day, while scrolling Instagram during a boring lecture, I came across a post about the Coincent 3-Year Program. It mentioned Microsoft Certifications, Industrial Training, Resume Builder, and something about a one-time payment. I didn’t think too much, but saved it.

Taking a Step (Without Knowing the Destination)

I joined the program not because I had a plan, but because I wanted something to push me.
What I got was way more than I expected.

The first few months were chill — they didn’t throw too much at us. The training was light, and mentors talked like real people, not just instructors reading slides. They told us how companies work, how projects are handled, and why understanding logic was more important than learning buzzwords.

That clicked with me.

Learning Without Pressure

I never liked learning under pressure. Coincent’s pace was perfect. I could attend live sessions, ask doubts, revisit lessons through the dashboard, and the best part I wasn’t compared to others.
There was no rank list, no fear of failure. Just progress.

Slowly, I built 2-3 mini-projects. I learned to write proper Git commits. I even fixed bugs in a teammate’s code something I thought I’d never do.

That Microsoft Certification Moment

Then came the Microsoft Certification track.
We were guided step-by-step from syllabus to practice exams. I failed my first mock.
I felt like quitting.
But the support didn’t stop. Mentors helped me revise weak parts. Other students shared their notes.
And when I finally cleared it that certificate hit differently.
I felt seen. Like all those small late-night efforts actually meant something.

Resume & Interviews — No More Guessing

When we reached the resume building phase, I realized how much I’d grown. I had actual things to write projects, certifications, tools I used, teams I worked with.
The mock interviews were scary at first. But after a few sessions, I began to enjoy them. It was like a safe space to mess up and improve.

We weren’t just learning.
We were becoming professionals quietly, consistently.

Why 3 Years Made Sense

People asked me: “Why 3 years? Can’t we learn in 6 months?”

Honestly? You can “learn” anything quickly.
But to understand, apply, fail, try again, grow that takes time. Coincent gave me time.
It gave me a structure to follow alongside college.
It wasn’t rushing. It was building.

One-Time Fee = Mental Peace

And yes no monthly fees. I paid once and never worried again.
No content was locked. No “premium” upsells. Just full access to everything from doubt sessions to partner projects.

It felt honest. And as a student, that mattered.

Today? I’m Still Not Perfect — But I’m Ready

I’m not the smartest coder. I’m not a hackathon winner.

But today, I have:

  • 7+ projects on my resume

  • 3 certifications (including Microsoft)

  • Internship experience through Coincent’s partner company

  • And the confidence to apply for jobs without feeling like a fraud

Final Words (From a Once-Lost Student)

If you’re reading this and feel unsure about your skills, your future, your direction — I’ve been there.
I still have doubts sometimes.

But Coincent’s 3-Year Program helped me believe that even an average student can build something real with time, patience, and the right guidance.

Not everything needs to be fast.
Some things are better when they’re built slowly — like careers.
