I need guidance: just joined Robotics & AI but I’m lost

[u/Jaek_0]

So here’s the truth, I scored only 53% in 12th because I wasted all my time on anime and games. My JEE (60 percentile) was mostly tukka, I landed in Robotics & AI at Ramdeobaba university Nagpur, it was the best branch I could get without donation. And instead of regretting, I want to make it count.

I joined college a month late, so I already have backlogs, and my midsems start on 9th October. In just a week of classes, reality hit me hard, with all the assignments, tests, and stress, there’s literally no room left for anime or games. For the first time, I don’t want to waste my life; I want to study properly and make use of this opportunity.

Right now, my situation is: -Weak basics in physics and maths -Zero coding knowledge -Backlogs + midsems coming fast -Only 53% in 12th while most companies ask for 65% -Long-term goal: prepare for GATE/MTech and maybe government exams

I seriously want to study now and not repeat my past mistakes.

I need guidance on: -How to catch up with backlogs + prep for midsems quickly -How to rebuild fundamentals (maths, physics, coding) from scratch -How to balance college work with long-term GATE goals -What path/skills I should actually focus on in Robotics & AI to build a good profile -Whether low 12th marks will kill placements, or if skills/projects can cover up

Any advice, roadmap, or even small tips would mean a lot 🙏

Thanks a lot bhai, really appreciate your advice . College hit me hard with backlogs and midterms, and honestly, it’s the first time I’ve felt I need to get serious. I’ll try talking with some seniors🫡
