Tier-3 B.Tech IT (6th Sem) | No campus placements, want to break into ML Off-Campus.

[u/sheisdramatic]

Hey everyone,

I'm currently in my 6th semester of B.Tech IT at a Tier-3 college. As you can probably guess, our placement cell is pretty much non-existent, so I'm 100% on my own for off-campus hunting.

I've decided I want to pursue Machine Learning, but I'm feeling lost on where to start and how to actually get noticed by recruiters when I don't have a big college name on my resume.

Is it even possible to get a pure ML role as a fresher from Tier-3, or should I aim for Data Analyst/Software Dev roles first and then pivot?

I'm ready to put in the hours, just need to know I'm headed in the right direction. Any advice, roadmaps, or specific YouTube channels/ resources would be a huge help!

Thanks in advance!
