Mistakes While Choosing an IT Course Part - 2
Another major mistake people make in choosing an IT course is focusing solely on theoretical knowledge without assessing the course’s practical or hands-on components. Many IT roles require real-world problem-solving skills and experience with actual projects, tools, and environments, which theory alone can’t provide.

Students sometimes overlook courses that offer practical labs, live projects, or internship opportunities and instead choose programs that are lecture-heavy or certification-focused. As a result, they may end up with book knowledge but lack the technical experience that employers prioritize.

To avoid this, students should look for courses that include:

Live projects and practical assignments to apply concepts in real-world scenarios.
Hands-on labs or simulations with industry tools and software.
Mentorship or collaborative work that mirrors team-based IT environments.
Balancing theory with practice leads to a stronger skill set and smoother transition into actual IT roles.
