All of them arrive at the campus with dreamy eyes assuming that their future is going to be smooth and sorted. However, their excitement is short-lived when Prarthana, a senior IT employee working at the company, informs them that their jobs will be made permanent only after they all clear some mandatory training and evaluations. During the training period, they develop a beautiful bond among themselves and become friends. The situations these characters face prompt them to face many conflicts both personally and professionally and learn real-life lessons.
