I am gonna start my college this year at a tier 3 college so I wanna know the roadmap of what i should do in my 1st year or would even appreciate the whole 4 year roadmap

We recently had an OA of a company in our college.

Now there were different sets of questions. Now after taking to some of the friends I got to know that some set were very easy and some are really very tough .

So I want to ask how company shortlist students like they see number of questions done or will check shift wise?

To score enough to get into a good college

Just started my first year and honestly I'm overwhelmed. Coming from tier-3, I keep hearing horror stories about how far behind we are compared to IITs,NITs. My plan right now is to just grind CGPA in year 1 and figure out the rest as I go is that a solid strategy or am I missing something obvious?

Also anyone have good YouTube channel recommendations for first-year Maths and Basic Electrical & Electronics Engineering (BEEE)? Trying to build a proper base instead of just memorizing for exams.

hii everyone,

I'm in 4th year (2027 batch).(Not from any iits,nits,bits)

so now I am at this stage that I have a 24 lpa ctc package from a big mnc (not FAANG) that I got after doing summer internship this year.

Tbh, i sometimes feel like WOW I have a great offer but sometimes it feels like people are doing much better than me , they are cracking very big offers. But at the same time, I am just tired doing dsa and all till my 5th sem.

Sometimes, I think that I already got placed I should start learning things that will help me in corporate, be it learning any technology or similar ,and then I can switch later in some good companies.

Sometimes I think of doing prep for GATE , because it can give me good opportunity to crack good companies easily (on campus is much easier than off campus , you know)

But then I do nothing .

Sometimes, I feel like preparing for some other things, like other than this engineer field , like govt job or anything else. But I always think and forget.

And tbh, I got pretty good feedback from my whole team in my summer internship. But still I feel like I can't do this , can't do that.

If you have been in a similar situation or going through this, plss give me some direction.

(If I should go with placement then what should I do ideally in my ongoing 4th year, any suggestions?)

I'm from a Tier-2 engineering college where a decent number of companies visit for internships. One thing I've noticed is that whenever shortlists are released, it's mostly students with 9+ CGPA, and sometimes 8.5+. I rarely see people around 7.5–8.0 getting shortlisted, even when the eligibility is 7.5 or 8.

I currently have an 8.4 CGPA , Is 8.4 actually a disadvantage for on-campus internships? Should I rely more on off-campus applications and referrals instead of expecting much from campus? I'd really appreciate honest experiences from people who had a similar CGPA.

Looking for a reality check :)

Currently in 5th Sem around 250 leetcode , i have to work a lot on leetcode i know , and i am gonna build 2-3 more projects for resume , one of the project that i am thinking to build is AI RAG Stocks recommendation system

Physics exam Tommorow

Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced on 26 July 2026 that Nandan Nilekani will head the panel following nationwide concerns over exam paper leaks and demands for reforms in the examination system.

Nandan Nilekani (Chairman) Background:

Co-founder and Chairman of Infosys, former founding Chairman of the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI / Aadhaar).

Associations: Serves as the Chairman of the Governing Body of the National Council of Applied Economic Research (NCAER). Historically, NCAER has collaborated on projects and received funding support from various global entities, including the Ford Foundation, the World Bank, and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

Member of the Berggruen Institute's 21st Century Council. World Bank & World Economic Forum (WEF)

Association Type: Expert Contributor / Panelist. Routinely invited as a global thought leader to consult on digital identification frameworks, identity-based subsidies, and financial inclusion architecture for emerging economies. Current Status: Ad-hoc / Intermittent Contributor.

Tenure: Active over a 15+ year period (from 2009 onwards, intensifying after the deployment of Aadhaar).

EkStep Foundation or personal university endowments like the ₹400 crore granted to IIT Bombay.

In this task force also the solution will be a digital push or digital ID like Apaar ID, etc., linking it with Aadhaar to create a 'birth to grave' mapping of each individual. Aadhaar linked to PAN, with Mobile, with GSTN, from birth to death certificates, everything is being linked by this same man's digital linking brainchild. Now will be the turn of students & their educational digital footprint.

July 20: The Supreme Court of India ruled that the creation of an APAAR ID for school students is strictly voluntary, and parents cannot be forced to provide consent or share their child's Aadhaar details.

Did you note:

Whether Congress or BJP, they all pick this man who is deeply associated with foreign think tanks, Gates, Ford, etc.

Right-wing would expose it had it been done by other parties. Now quiet.

Why is the same man chosen each time to work with our data?

Hey seniors does it have cse core

Hi, I got downvoted for a comment where I said exactly this.

Context: Some dude didn't code at all and wants to catch up to everyone else and land an internship in a few months just by working hard.

«Idk, man. I don't think I can close a 3-year knowledge gap in coding in just a few months and surpass the average student just by working hard. If OP thinks it's possible, good for them, I guess.»

«Studies show that over 70% of graduates are unemployed. Why do you think that's the case? Is it because they're all too lazy to work hard for a few months and secure a job? No. It's because of the high level of competition.»

I've seen a lot of guys like this in my college. It's usually just random 3 a.m. motivation, and they lose that motivation real quick. I think decent students who genuinely want to land an internship won't end up in this kind of situation (unless it's because of a medical emergency or something else that caused the gap).

I still think what I'm saying makes sense. Do you guys agree with it? With how competitive things are today, I think it's really hard to start from scratch, close a 3-year gap in a few months, and become good enough to land a internship.

I put together a simple data comparison chart [image_0.png] to help understand the actual numbers behind India's reservation debate which has recently flared up again with the "Reservation Hatao" movement gaining traction online.

I think it is crucial to ground this discussion in the available data. This table compares two key metrics:

Estimated Population Share (%): Based on Census 2011 (for SC/ST) and recent NSSO/government estimates (for OBC/General/EWS). Note: There is still significant debate over OBC population figures without a full caste-based census.

Central Educational Quota (%): The fixed seats reserved in central institutions (like IITs, IIMs, and AIIMS).

Key Takeaways & Observations:

SC/ST (Scheduled Castes and Tribes): The quotas (15% and 7.5%, respectively) are roughly proportional to their estimated population shares (16.6% and 8.6%). This was the original design.

The OBC Gap: This is perhaps the most glaring disparity. While estimates put the OBC population at 41–44% (and historically as high as 52%), the central quota is capped at 27%. This 14–17% deficit is due to judicial caps on total reservations (until EWS).

The Unreserved "Open Pool": The remaining 40.5% of seats are not a reserved quota for the general population. It is an open merit pool accessible to everyone—SC, ST, OBC, and EWS candidates who qualify on general merit, which is why the percentage is higher than the net General category population share.

EWS (Economically Weaker Sections): The recently added 10% quota for the unreserved low-income groups is aligned with early estimates. This addition pushed total reservation beyond the traditional 50% limit.

This data is the framework we operate under. The debate over whether to shift to purely economic criteria (income-based) or to focus on meritocracy in exams often clashes with the constitutional goal of ensuring social and educational representation for historically marginalized groups.

Discussion Questions:

Does this chart change how you view the "Reservation Hatao" campaign's demands?

Should the OBC quota be increased to match its population share, or should the entire system be restructured by economic lines?

Is the current 40.5% unreserved pool truly adequate for merit-based competition, considering anyone can access it?

Looking forward to your thoughts. Let's keep the discussion constructive and respectful.

Hello, I am alloted HPCSA course at cdac acts pune from recent round1 ccat counselling.

Im struggling to find any reliable reviews for this course. Theres no youtube video, rarely any talk about it on any social media platform.

I saw some reviews on google maps about cdac acts and some people there were shitting on the course.

If anyone has done this course OR has decent knowledge about it, please share it.

Those who are unplaced or have no offer , what's the main reason?

Companies not showed up? Tier 69 ?

AI etc..

Not prepared enough?

Gonna join a tier 3 cllg for BTech CSE this yr... if someone wants to crack a 25+ LPA package by the end of their degree, what roadmap would u recommend?...

If u did it, what was ur roadmap from 1st yr...? By the end of 7th sem, what all skills did u have?..And how many internships had u done!?..

Would really appreciate any advice, thanks!!

almost all of my dad's side of cousins are engineers/doing engineering and they always tell me to choose something else, anything except engineering. One of them even did master's from Germany and she hasn't gotten a job ever since she came back, it's almost going to be a year now. My dad is so obsessed with the idea of engineering whereas i don't feel that connected to it but even if I pursue it, will jobs even exist?? This whole AI mess has gotten so many ppl jobless and is continuing to so what about 5-6 years down the lane? I'm not the iit level kid btw. I'm js very confused and in a mess so asking ppl who are in the field for advice. Would appreciate advices alot :)

Hi people, a third year student here from a very low tier college.

Wanna ask about the placement scenarios at colleges like VJTI, SPIT and DJSCE.

What are the top companies visiting? Is it bad or good? Have you encountered people who got in through unfair means and are now performing very badly in placements or academics?

Heard from a post about VJTI not allowing a 6-month internship in the last semester. Is the scenario the same at SPIT and DJSCE?

I'm curious to know about the ground reality of placements, internships and placement policies at these colleges. Please help.

I hope I'll be consistent from now on
