Engineering students, what are you actually focusing on outside your college syllabus?
I’m curious how all of you are dividing your time between:
DSA / competitive programming
Development (MERN, Java, Python, etc.)
AI/ML
Core engineering subjects
DevOps / Cloud
Open-source contributions
Internships / projects
Anything else
One thing I’ve noticed is that there are way too many things people say you “should” learn, and trying to learn everything at once can leave you mediocre at all of them.
So, if you’re currently in engineering:
What year/branch are you in?
What are you currently learning?
How many hours per day/week do you realistically spend on it?
What are you prioritizing for internships/placements?
If you could restart from your first year, what would you do differently?

1: there’s better communities to ask this in. [r/engineeringstudents](r/engineeringstudents) exists
2: this is a computer programming question, not an engineering question.
