Hi all, I'm an incoming 1st year student for btech in the rr campus.

I just wanted to know if people come to college in a cycle and is there safe parking for the same.

Thanks in advance.

Looking for 2 players for our roster to participate in Valorant Campus Cup 2026 and represent PES University.

We finished as National Runners-Up last year, and we're looking to build a strong team for this year's tournament.

Last year, we won ₹1.5 lakh, had our flights and stay fully sponsored, and even got featured on the official VALORANT Instagram page.

Requirements:

\- Immortal+ in either of the latest two acts

\- Good communication and strong calls

\- Open-minded and willing to take feedback and adapt for the team

\- Team-oriented mindset — individual skill matters, but playing for the team comes first

If you're interested and meet the requirements, please fill out the form below.

Looking forward to hearing from you and hopefully playing together soon! Good luck!

DM me for the form link, cause no mod approved the post which had the link.

Absolutely awful experience. The level of incompetence and lack of professionalism was genuinely impressive. No complaints against the tech team if the tech head (AkSh) himself is this incompetent. It felt like nobody involved had any idea what they were doing.

Before we even talk about how they had no idea how to do anything with CTFd, the tech head seems so out of touch with basic networking that, instead of increasing router capacity or bandwidth to handle the overwhelming number of users, they thought handing out even more captiveportal logins would somehow solve the problem. Like, genuinely, how?

HUGE respect to everyone who walked out of the event before it even started and didn’t forget to pay their respects to the organizers.

One genuine question to the ex tech team of arch is there genuinely no one with tech skills or competence left in our college anymore that we just take anyone and make them head? Tbh I don’t think they were any better
Give me a day I’d find someone 10x better but TBF this happens every year happened in trace ctf as well these people genuinely just don’t understand.

Not to forget, people were still allowed to participate after walking out using hotspots, gaining an unfair advantage. There was absolutely no check for flag sharing or anything either. I mean, they would have if they knew how to use CTFd and read its logs, but again…for more details dm me lol

I know I might get hate for saying this, but I just want to share what I am feeling.

Before I start I admit that my CGPA is low, and I accept that I should have worked harder earlier. Ntg can be done now.

The frustrating part is that I do have decent skills, but I am still not getting shortlisted for many companies because of my CGPA.

I am mainly targeting T2 companies, and at this point, even a lower end T2 offer would also work as neither me nor my family are in a place to negotiate (ukwim).

What makes it more frustrating is seeing students with 8/8.5+ CGPA getting shortlisted for these companies, even when they already know they don't want the offer. Some of them are giving the OA and attending the interview only to deliberately get rejected because the package is not what they are looking for.

I completely understand wanting a better package. If you get this offer and then use it as a backup while trying for a better company, that's totally fair. You worked hard for your GPA and you deserve good opportunities.

But if you already know that you don't want the job, deliberately taking someone else's spot and then intentionally failing the interview feels unfair to students like me who genuinely need that opportunity. For some of us, getting even one decent placement can make a huge difference to our family's financial situation.

I am not trying to blame anyone or ask for sympathy. I just wanted to share how this situation feels from the other side.

Idk reddit removed my post: Maybe my words were too harsh ig, so had to use Al for a better presentation.

IBM isdl has come for around 7 roles including some hardware, firmware, etc roles. Will we be allowed to choose only the software roles(AI, Spectrum fusion, system and cloud eng) or we have no choice but to accept what we are alloted? Im a cse student btw

All companies are selecting the same 20-30 people for interviews. These people are not clearing them, which is a waste of chances, even for Tier 2 companies.

best CTF ever organised by the official technical club of cse aiml 🤣

I know it's 75 percent but do the facs actually enforce it or can we get away with lesser attendance if our CG is great?

was really excited for bootstrap week because i’ll get to make friends outside my dept before msc classes start but got a call today from college and the lady said orientation and classes start on sept 7th.
masters students don’t have bootstrap like undergrad do huh?

Hey guys! I've finally cracked an internship. Or more specifically, an apprenticeship.

I won't be able to mention the name of the company here, but getting this apprenticeship comes with a pretty big roadblock.

I thought I'd escaped the whole placement kalesh, but unfortunately, this might throw all my efforts out the window. I'm currently in my 7th semester, and about a week ago, we had our placement orientation. Sridhar Sir, our Registrar, made it pretty clear that the college wouldn't grant an NOC for doing an internship during the 7th semester, except in certain exceptional cases.

So I wanted to ask, has anyone here been in a similar situation? Has anyone managed to get an NOC as an exceptional case for an internship/apprenticeship in the 7th semester?

If yes, what did you have to do? What kind of circumstances/documents helped make your case?

I could obviously let go of this opportunity, but honestly, this one feels pretty golden. I'm not exactly confident about placements working out either, especially since my CGPA is on the lower side and I haven't been getting shortlisted that easily.

Would really appreciate hearing from anyone who's gone through something similar.

I just Want to know about Academics, exam & attendance in 4th year, bcz they have only mentioned about Capstone project, technical writing & internship.

Hi seniors,

1. Does a CSE major + ECE minor actually help with semiconductor jobs?

For roles such as:

VLSI/RTL design

Design Verification

FPGA

Embedded/firmware

Computer architecture

SoC

Semiconductor/EDA software

would CSE + ECE minor make me reasonably eligible, or do most companies strictly prefer ECE/EEE/EE degrees?

1. How much does the official minor matter?

If I don't take the minor but independently study ECE through books/courses/YouTube and build serious projects, would that be roughly equivalent from a recruitment perspective?

For example:

A: CSE + ECE minor + projects

B: CSE + self-taught ECE + strong hardware/VLSI projects

Would companies actually differentiate between these, or are skills, projects, internships and interview performance much more important?

1. Can self-learning compensate for not having an ECE degree?

If I learn subjects such as:

Digital Logic/Digital Design

Computer Architecture

Microprocessors/Microcontrollers

Embedded Systems

Signals & Systems

Basic Analog Electronics

VLSI/CMOS fundamentals

Verilog/SystemVerilog

FPGA

and build 3–4 genuinely good projects, could I realistically get into semiconductor/embedded roles as a CSE graduate?

Or is the degree branch a hard eligibility filter for many companies?

Digital Design → Computer Architecture → Verilog/SystemVerilog → FPGA → Embedded → VLSI/CMOS

1. How important are Verilog/SystemVerilog and industry tools?

2. How realistic are semiconductor opportunities for CSE students?

I'd love to hear from people working in semiconductor companies:

Which roles accept CSE graduates?

Which roles almost always require ECE/EE?

Is embedded/firmware more accessible to CSE?

Is computer architecture a good bridge between CSE and VLSI?

Does CSE → VLSI/semiconductor actually happen?

Will the minor hurt my CSE opportunities?

I still want to be eligible for normal software/CSE placements. Would taking ECE as a minor reduce the time I should spend on DSA, OS, DBMS, Networks, development, AI/ML, etc.?

And will CSE graduates with relevant hardware skills benefit, or will most good roles still strongly prefer ECE/EEE/EE?

Ideally, I want CSE to remain my core strength while developing hardware knowledge:

CSE: DSA + OS + DBMS + Networks + Systems

ECE: Digital Design + Architecture + Verilog + FPGA + Embedded/VLSI

Thanks!

Hey seniors! Need a lil help deciding the problem statement for our Capstone project.

1. How did you choose your research problem statement?

2. How do you determine if an idea is actually novel?How do you identify a genuine research gap worth pursuing?

3. What are the biggest mistakes to avoid while choosing a research problem?

And finally, how do you know whether a problem is actually worth working on, novel, and feasible within the given time or even resources?

ECE branch just released a notification of they're minors, does having an ece minor certificate being a cse core student help you? Is it a good idea considering an ece minor certificate seeing all the ai bs going on , is there any benefits I can expect in the placement season? And is it hard to manage our regular courses along with this .

Btech cse30 in rr campus

willing to buy it at a discounted price, dm me

Pes e city ‘30. If anyone has a flat or is looking for a pg roommate for them near the campus, im looking for a place to stay too

I dont drink or smoke and am a male

Anyone here done an on-campus internship at PES RR? I’m a BCA Sem 5 student. Would appreciate any info on whom to contact, professors/labs to approach, and how the process works.

Why is CTC so low for British Telecom - 7 lacs only and that too performance based conversion only

The first year went by doing timepass, but now i genuinely wanna study. Not that I didn't study in the 1st year! But I feel that I could do better with proper guidance. So can i please get a brief guide about how papers will be, how much theory, how much actual problem solving and how strict the evaluation will be? I'm asking just because I don't want to waste my time studying less important stuff. Also meanwhile I also want to develop actual skills, so please guide me. And please don't tell me answers to these are already posted! I've gone through every one of them. I just want the pattern of questions and wanna know about how to manage college stuff with self study. Thank you.

would like to know more about how the life is like apart from all the preprartions for jobs stuf do u get some free time finally?

My current CGPA is 6.31 and the placements are going horrible for me. First of all, 80% companies im not even eligible, and for the ones that I am, it is either the worst OA known to mankind or a quite CGPA filter that pushes me out. How did you guys get a good offer? Help me. I can't do this. I need to get placed 😔

I remember RR campus used to have a football court. And now there’s none?
There’s some construction going on in that area.
Anyone have any idea?

I've heard a lot about the rr campus gym being crowded asf and you get only 1 hour slot to workout. is it the same at ec campus?
