1:1 Mentorship - Only for IEEE Mentees with Saibal Roy

I'm an industry mentor through the IEEE India Council (Student Mentorship Program 2024, Career Mentoring Program 2025), not an academic guide. Please read this before booking, so we use the time well.

What I can help with:

• How engineering work happens in industry, and what's worth learning now that AI tools are changing entry-level roles
• Lining up your résumé, skills and projects with the role you want
• Mock interviews and architecture walkthroughs
• A production feasibility check of your project or idea: would it hold up in a real system, and what would it take to run
• A market feasibility check of an industry idea: who would use it, and why
• Pointers to communities, forums and people worth learning from

What I don't do:

• Act as your project or thesis guide, or review a project in detail (your faculty guide does that)
• Write, debug or grade your code or report
• Referrals or job placements

This session is for mentees assigned to me through IEEE India Council; the program schedule and IEEE's expectations of mentors are below. Not through IEEE? Book the free Discovery Call (https://topmate.io/saibal_roy/1207300); the same expectations apply.
