While teaching IT Student (MCA / BCA / BTech), I found most of the students are not having good programming skills but they are still running behind to learn .NET / PHP / PYTHON / ANDROID / JAVA. Why is it so? What we should do better to improve a sound programming skills among most of IT Students?

starts from basics ... first you must kno wt you DONT KNOW. like for example if you wish to go in we development . so have a look at latest ewb evelopment technology . like a full stack E-com platform or ERP system. as ur a freshre you cannot make it by usrself .... go a lvl below . try looking at static websites .... do the same thing . find wt you dont kno . and if you dont kno anything start right from Hello World page in HTML learn new things and keep growing .. :)

Getting knowledge and applying knowledge is different thing. Here this students are somewere taught how to write syntax in a specific software but never taught how logic applies sothat if some other software appears in front of them then tehy also can write the code in other software. Here some students get stuck like me when going for new software .

Student should be good at analytical skills and logical thinking. For this he should practice a lot.

His/her practice should be in a manner as below:

    1. understand the question/scenario

    2. analyise the different ways to convert a scenario to program

    3. Now write a program to execute.

Now a days every answer is available in internet. So they are directly going to step 3. which is not a good procedure. First we should proceed with step 1 and step 2. If necessary you can search on internet to solve the errors of step 3

Main reason is most of student learn these languages with point of only getting good marks in the in the exam.

So as trainer we should first tell them not learn these languages only from the point of view of the exams and provide them with insight as to how these languages are used in real world.
