From an Air Force Aspirant to a Data Analyst: How Newton School Helped Anoop Dhangar

Early interviews can be intimidating — especially when confidence and communication become barriers. Anoop Dhangar’s journey reflects the struggles many graduates face: uncertainty after college, repeated rejections, and confusion about the right career path. With the right mentorship and structured preparation at Newton School, Anoop was able to turn things around.

Today, Anoop Dhangar works as an MIS Executive at Bhanjo, marking a successful start to his professional journey in the data domain.

Struggling with Interviews and Communication Confidence

Anoop’s first few interviews were extremely challenging. He felt nervous, struggled to communicate clearly, and faced multiple rejections — often due to communication gaps rather than lack of knowledge.

During this phase, he regularly spoke with his Placement Incharge (PI) at Newton School, who reassured him and provided actionable guidance:

- Stay calm
- Take time to structure answers
- Focus on clarity, not speed
- Trust the process

This continuous encouragement helped Anoop push through self-doubt instead of giving up.

Graduation, Career Confusion, and Missed Opportunities

While graduating in 2021, Anoop was unsure about his future direction. He simultaneously prepared for Indian Air Force exams, but due to unavoidable circumstances, he missed one attempt and later became overage, closing that path permanently.

This series of setbacks left him frustrated and confused about what to do next.

At the same time, Anoop attempted to learn frontend development, but found it difficult to sustain interest and momentum. Seeing his struggle, his brother — who already worked in frontend development — suggested exploring Newton School as a more structured alternative.

Discovering Newton School and the Data Science Path

When Anoop spoke to the team at Newton School, he was introduced to their Data Science program. From the very first conversation, the team explained:

- The complete curriculum
- The learning roadmap from day one
- How placements and interview preparation work

Once Anoop joined Newton School, the learning environment, instructors, teaching style, and peer culture immediately stood out. Concepts that once felt difficult gradually became clearer through structured teaching and consistent practice.

Grooming Sessions and Interview Preparation

Before entering the placement process, Anoop underwent grooming and mock interview sessions, which played a crucial role in building his confidence.

These sessions helped him understand:

- How interviewers frame questions
- How to structure answers effectively
- How to present projects and skills
- How to remain calm under pressure

When Anoop began receiving referrals and attending interviews, he initially felt nervous — but after the grooming sessions, his mindset changed. He was confident that he could crack interviews with preparation and practice.

Cracking Interviews and Getting Placed

Anoop continued attending interviews consistently and appeared for 6–7 interviews. His final interview was with Bhanjo, where he successfully cleared the process.

Within an hour, he received a confirmation call informing him that he had been selected, along with details about the onboarding process and joining date.

For Anoop, this moment validated months of hard work and preparation.

Standing Apart from the Crowd

Many of Anoop’s friends joined other institutes around the same time. However, the difference became clear over time — while several of them were still struggling to secure roles, Anoop had already been placed through Newton School.

This outcome reinforced his belief in structured learning, strong mentorship, and interview-focused preparation.
