![]() Joseph’s College, and as a fresh school leaver after A/Ls my primary objective was to be a professional in the ICT industry. Students having a GPA above 3.5 were eligible to apply but only 19 were selected, and I was lucky to be included. During the second year, we were informed by SLIIT about a scholarship program conducted by Virtusa, one of the leading software companies in Sri Lanka. Since my ambition was to become a Software Engineer, I spent more time to learn programming and even completed Sun Certified Java Programmer certification over the vacation. I completed the first year of my degree with a GPA of 3.8 impressing both parents and myself. Programming algorithms, networking, deep studies on computers, lab sessions were irresistible. My passion towards the technology and the enthusiasm to regularly practice what I learned, led me to very good results in the exams. Initially I was worried because the majority of the students were from the Mathematics stream but it did not take so long to realize that it does not matter. SLIIT was a brand new life for me, and the subjects were really interesting and challenging.
