Some of the popular professional avenues open to successful postgraduates of the course are listed below with the corresponding salaries offered for the respective positions

Master of Science in Software Engineering

Job Position	Job Description	Average Annual Pay in INR
Software Engineer	Software Engineers specialize in certain areas of development, such as networks, operating systems, databases or applications, and each area requires fluency in its own set of computer languages and development environments. A small percentage of Software Engineers work alone, but most collaborate with other specialists in development groups, towards creating complex projects. Every business that generates its own computer programs or needs to personalize third-party software needs Software Engineers to write, edit, and test programs. There are many layers of computer software, and each requires a specialist in languages specific to that layer. Software engineering is a rapidly changing field; training in software is available at nearly all learning institutes, and most Software Engineers continue to learn on the job, as languages and development environments evolve.	5 lacs
Java Professional	A Java Developer designs and develops user interfaces to internet/intranet applications by setting expectations and features priorities throughout the development life cycle. They determine design methodologies and tool sets, complete programming using languages and software products. Also, they design and conduct tests. Java Developers design and develop high-volume, low-latency applications for mission-critical systems and deliver high-availability and performance.	6 lacs
Applications Engineer	Application Engineers are the primary technical resource for the field sales force, and are responsible for actively driving and managing the technology evaluation stage of sales processes. They work in conjunction with the sales team as key Technical Advisors, and Product Advocates. Application Engineers must be able to identify and provide reliable solutions for all technical issues to assure complete customer satisfaction through all stages of the sales process. The Application Engineer must be able to establish and maintain strong relationships throughout the sales cycle. They coordinate the planning, design, and installation of machinery and equipment in an industrial environment, using knowledge of engineering and programming as well as of sophisticated instruments and computers.	7 lacs
Software Testing Engineer	A Test Engineer's job duties include planning, designing, and evaluating products, as well as collaborating with production management. The Test Engineer makes sure that the finished product can be identified easily and tested thoroughly. Testing returned units, collecting data, and analysing patterns are also among the Test Engineer's duties. The Test Engineer determines how each component is to be labelled and where the label is to be placed for readability. Sometimes there is an internal 'label' as well. This is a piece of code which runs when needed to identify the component and give its specifications. Also at this early design stage, a Test Engineer reviews the plans to make sure that access for testing does not require taking the machine apart. For example, if a computer test can be run through a serial port, the engineer would insist that a serial port was installed early and not covered with another part.	6 lacs
Software Manager	Software Managers are responsible for overseeing and coordinating the people, resources and processes required to deliver new software or to upgrade existing products. In smaller companies, Software Managers may take a hands-on role in software development. However, their primary role is project management, and coordinating the work of other software professionals. Software Managers work closely with business managers or marketing professionals to identify the requirements for new software programs. If they are developing software for internal use, they identify the functional requirements of the departments that will use the programs. To develop software for customers, they identify market requirements and review the performance of existing competitive programs. Such maps of functional requirements provide the basis for a product development strategy that gives the software team a clear sense of direction.	12 lacs

How can I get transcripts from Annamalai University?

Naina Singh

30 Jan 21

The best possible way to get transcripts is to visit the university and apply for it. A friend of mine strongly suggested not to apply through any middle agents or online transcript agencies. You can send in a representative with a letter of authorization provided by the candidate.

The complete process takes a couple of days. Once you have arrived at the university then go to the examination office for further direction. You will need copies of:

Marksheets
Consolidated Marksheet (if any)
Provisional Degree Certificate
Degree Certificate
Payment Receipt

The cost of the transcripts is around Rs.3500 including the courier charges. However, if you wish to inquire at the front office as they will guide better regarding the required fee and other procedures. They would also give you a form to be filled with all the details.

You will be advised to go to a browsing centre to do the payment from the university staff. So, do the payment via a computer rather than the phone. Here are the steps that would help you make payments online:

Open the university website, go to the examinations, fees, other miscellaneous fees.
You will have to enter the amount and pay for it online. However, the payment would be slow and it would go through.
If you don't get the acknowledgment slip then simply enter the enrollment number again and click on acknowledge and one will get the receipt and take a printout of that slip.

Once the payment is done then you need to go to an officer for the seal and stamp. Then you will be asked to meet the Chief examinations officer for documents verification. After all this work, the work at the university is done. Put all the documents in an envelope and seal it as per the requirements and the university itself would courier it to the required personal.

The university provides a telephone number that you can use to call them to get the tracking number. However, the calls do not get answered. My personal advice would be to go to the university as it works faster. Try to arrive early as it will fasten up your process. Do not approach any middle man or any other online transcript services as the University has strict rules regarding it and they do not acknowledge it.
