The following is a blog post by Ms. Bipasha Bhattacharyya, student of 4th Semester BTech Civil Engineering, Assam Don Bosco University School of Technology

🇮🇳 My first NCC camp experience at Gopalganj, Assam, under 7 Assam BN NCC from 5th March to 14th March 2026, was truly memorable and enriching. Staying in a camp environment for the first time, living in tents with fellow cadets, and following a disciplined routine taught me the values of teamwork, friendship, unity, and responsibility. ⛺✨

The camp included early morning PT sessions, theory and practical training classes, and various activities that improved both physical fitness and confidence. One of the most exciting moments was the firing session, where I got the opportunity to handle and fire a .22 rifle under supervision. 🎯

Evening NCC songs, group activities, and interactions with cadets from different colleges created unforgettable memories and strengthened the spirit of discipline and camaraderie. Overall, the camp became a valuable journey of learning, growth, leadership, and self-confidence that I will always cherish. 🌟

🏗️ As a Civil Engineering student at Assam Don Bosco University, my internship journey taught me that real engineering begins when theory meets practical challenges. From working on a tunnel construction project in difficult hilly terrain to understanding landslide protection and slope stabilization techniques such as bench cutting, SDR bolting, grouting, and shotcreting, every experience became a valuable learning opportunity. ⛰️⚒️

I also gained exposure to tunnel blasting operations, site safety practices, documentation, reporting, and team coordination, which helped me understand the importance of communication, leadership, and decision-making in engineering projects. 📋👷

These experiences strengthened my confidence and practical knowledge, ultimately helping me secure my first job offer from Onycon Infrastructure as a Junior Civil Engineer for the Manipur project in Noney, Manipur. 🌟

My journey taught me that a successful engineer is not defined only by technical knowledge, but also by adaptability, responsibility, safety awareness, and the ability to perform under pressure. To all juniors — make the most of your internships, keep learning on-site, and never hesitate to ask questions, because practical exposure truly shapes your future. 🚧✨
