Hi Databricks Community,
My name is Ragini, a fresher AI/ML developer from Vadodara, India.
I worked as an intern at an AI company where I used Databricks daily — building AI agents, data transformation pipelines, and working with PySpark and LangChain. During that time I started preparing seriously for the Databricks Data Engineer Professional exam.
After 3 months the company didn't hire me as promised. I had spent over ₹50,000 on relocation and living costs that my family could not afford. My family of four survives on ₹10,000/month pension.
Despite all of this I have not stopped my preparation. I genuinely want to earn this certification and build my career in data engineering.
If anyone knows of a voucher program, scholarship, or any way to get exam fee assistance, I would be very grateful. I am not looking for a shortcut — I have put in the work and I am ready for the exam. I just cannot manage the fee right now.
Thank you for reading.
Warm regards,
Ragini Devi Thakkar
