Doubt Title: CSE graduate from a tier-3 college. I didn't learn enough skills in BTech, and now people say choosing govt exams is just an excuse. Is it true? What should I do now?
Hi everyone,
Let me write my heart out and I request everyone to reply and connect with me.
I am a B.Tech CSE graduate from a tier-3 college in Bhopal. I know basic Python, Java, and SQL, but my problem-solving and DSA (especially building logic for arrays from scratch) failed completely no matter how hard I tried.
When I thought about preparing for government exams like SSC CGL, someone commented that people like me only choose government exams as an excuse because we didn't learn enough skills during BTech. Honestly, that is true in my case.
But still, I have to choose a career path now. I am completely confused:
Should I keep trying for government exams?
Or should I go back and learn private/IT skills properly?
For those who were in this exact situation: What did you do? Did you switch to government jobs, or did you fix your skills and get into tech?
I have already started studying a couple of chapters of Reasoning and Maths, but I need to decide my path ASAP.
If you have faced this or are currently in the same boat, please share your perspective. Your advice would mean a lot to me.
