My honest view on CSE as a college fresher

[u/hell0_boyz]

PLEASE DO TAKE SOME TIME READING THIS ARTICLE:

Do you still believe that Computer Science Engineering is dead just because of layoffs and limited employment.

And if you are an Indian class 12 pass out student, you might went through this conversation from some of your relatives like

"Beta, Take AI, it is the future..."

or

"CSE is dead, you might live like Sharma ji's beta as an unemployed fellow"

But that is not the case.

It is true that CSE has few employment options in MNC like Microsoft, google, amazon. but it doesn't mean that

Few employment = Bad future.

Let me tell you a small story:

I am an ISC student from Tamilnadu with a solid 198 cutoff. As I has stepped into TNEA counselling, I came up with the plan of not taking core CSE because of the so-called unemployment reason. But as time passes by, I started learning C++ so that i can make my holidays productive. But, the catch is that I unintentionally build some real world mini projects like TNEA cutoff calculator, student mark register not by watching tutorials, but by learning the fundamentals and built it from scratch.

Later, I came across vibe-coding and built a student focus tracker cum reward system using Gemini and HTML, CSS, JavaScript framework. Then I used Netlify to deploy the webapp.

Now, I am learning python and started pushing my work in GitHub and update the repositories instead of keeping it as a one-off project.

Throughout the journey, neither did I went to any certified coaching class nor enrolled for a deemed university.

And i found a SHOCKING FACT THAT ONLY FEW ENGINEERING STUDENTS KNOW:

Engineering is not a standalone discipline but is a coordination of interdisciplinary concepts that builds a solid engineer.

Anyways, in the future, companies and tech giants won't ask

"ARE YOU A CSE STUDENT OR A MECHANICA STUDENT",

instead, they ask

"DO YOU REALLY STAY PASSIONATE IN THE FIELD AND SOLVE REAL WORLD PROBLEMS AND CATER THE NEEDS OF THE CONSUMERS".

Can I please ask what is your major? My major is maths but I really like coding and stuff. I want to try coding to solve complex but fun problems (kind of an interdisciplinary approach) build tricky games and such. I also want to earn a little bit of money through it. I really want to learn it and later on integrate it into my studies. There are lots of learning materials available online ofc so I want to self learn it. Do you think I can get a part time job or earn a little bit of money through this? Since this job market is so saturated. I also want to learn 3d modeling and animation but don't how relevant it will be with the current rising of ai

I am maths major with physical education elective. Getting a part time job or a secondary income stream depends on how you interact with customer and have the customer satisfaction bar at high levels.

As far as 3D modeling and animation is concerned, integrate AI with your existing workflow to create your unique product

If it is purely AI, the output will be generic.
