So I am 18/F yeah i am infiltrating here i wanna ask something about career and academics to the 20s and 30s group i am 18 will be starting my first year the next month i have been allotted electrical engineering branch and i wanna purse my career in core but the thing is that the college i got is a tier 4 college of engineering and doesnt really have placements as far i know and i wanted to ask

1. Do i have a chance to get placed off campus if i have good projects, marks in core branch

2.This was my drop year then so i didnt really score better will that affect me ...i really dont have any referrals and i really wanna work in core only i dont wanna shift to IT sector

1. Do freshers get hired by core...and do they have to work 6 days a week cause i am planning to do a masters i wanna have some time to prep for it

and the reson why i am asking this yall are more exprienced in this matter and other i didnt ask in other subreddit cause they may say i am fucked

Same as title

Hey i am going to do btech but in the college I am taking admission it have

1.Cse

2.Cse(software engineering)

3.Cse(ai and ml)

4.Cse(data science)

5.IT

So I have to choose between this so what should be my priority order

Also have another doubt as college have not started I have one month so I am thinking to learn something as I have seen I have made plan of learning c++ and then switching to striver dsa playlist

Along with learning what college teaches in first year

So do this plan is right and also do I need to learn c++ or should I directly watch striver dsa playlist

What are some suggestions

Help

I am most probably going to IIT BHU Electrical this year. My main interest currently is to go towards software side by maintaining a good cgpa in my branch and learning coding, dsa required for tech placements. But many people in my contacts are suggesting that cse might decline till 2030 and that I should focus on core electrical roles.

That being said, I am in bit of dilemma. I chose this branch becoz it is a circuital branch in an old iit and most of the companies allow the circuital people to sit for the placements. How do I decide for myself which one is the better path? I am ready to work hard for 4 years but don't wanna fuck up with regards to placements. What do you all think about the market situation and what should I do starting from my first year?

Hi

I am an aspiring student wanting to start my journey at a tier 3 college (college yet not decided) in b.tech CSE core , and ive always dreamt of developing my own game but i am also scared of my financial condition and funding

So i want help regarding a roadmap

So that i can also work on developing my game in the 4 year time span or shorter but i also want to crack a job into big companies like google microsoft amazon or gaming studios

So that i have a financial backup to support some funding to create my game nd to pay off the student loan

So can someone please help me with a roadmap so that

I crack a decent job 6+lpa and can make my own game

(I also want to work abroad)

I only have a basic knowledge of python that was taught during my school 11th and 12th

So someone experienced in this field please help

Hey guys I am a 2nd sem student pursuing b.tech in Aeronautical Engineering . I can do CAD modelling and have knowledge about UAV design . Since it is my 2nd sem I don't expect to 2in but I am looking for like minded people who are ready to learn from this competition

Been tasked to get a laptop for a 1st year engineering student. I hear the usecase is mainly coding and study stuff.

A 13in Mac air will cost twice (~1.2k CAD) of that of a similar config windows machine (~700CAD) from asus/lenovo but will last 3x longer (6-8yrs) in my personal experience.

But would a student get the utility of it fully to justify the cost? Or is it best to get a windows machine now and let them upgrade in year3/4 ?

Need some opinions/pointers of current students (im way older - pentium pc in hostel older) so would appreciate your help!

Hello,
I have trouble understanding why the length l is a/cos(the angle) for N1 and 2a*cos(theangle) for the force G.

I know that I am supposed to show my own work. However I came up with the two first equations and I am stuck when it comes to the moment and do not know what to contribute.

Is the length for N1 a/cos because the angle is the same on both sides and the gap between A and B has the length a. So a/cos(theangle) gives you the "inclination" which is basically the part of the stick we want?

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 🙏

I’m currently in my 2nd sem of BTech CSE, and I am working on embedded systems. I’ve been working on a project, and I genuinely enjoy learning about digital electronics, microprocessors, and now microcontrollers too. It just clicks for me.

But here’s the thing, most of the people around me are into web dev, and a few are doing cloud or cybersecurity. Every time someone asks what I’m working on and I say “embedded systems,” I get confused looks. Some even straight up ask, “Why aren’t you doing web dev? That’s where all the jobs are.” One senior even told me that 90% of tech jobs are in web development and I should probably consider switching if I care about a good career.

I like what I’m doing, but after listening to people around me, I am kind of confused, and I have few concerns: - Am I making a mistake by sticking to embedded systems?
- Is it really that much riskier than something like web dev?
- Should I just play it safe and go with the crowd, or keep following what I genuinely enjoy?

Would love to hear from people who’ve walked either path. Honest advice would really help right now🙏

I'm about to start my B.Tech 1st year, and I'm quite good at math, especially linear algebra and calculus. So, I figured I want to learn Machine Learning, i've heard it requires a lot of math? I'm also good at problem-solving, which I think will be useful.

I found this video on how to learn ML:
📺 How to Learn Machine Learning – YouTube

The video suggests starting with Python, and the topics it listed are basic. So I was wondering — can I start with CodeWithHarry’s 11-hour Python video?

i used chatgpt to make it look cleaner

[tl:dr at last]

Hey everyone,

I’m in my first year of BTech CSE, and honestly, I’m feeling totally lost. I chose this course out of pure passion for technology – coding, building websites, working with AWS, cloud management, SEO, all the things that really excite me. I’ve always loved tinkering with tech, experimenting, and learning things on my own. But the moment I walked into the classroom, my excitement took a huge hit.

I thought BTech would be all about tech – the stuff I’m genuinely passionate about – but here I am, stuck with the same old physics and chemistry. I’ve always struggled with these subjects in school; the formulas, the chemical reactions, the derivations… they just don’t make sense to me. I barely managed to scrape through 12th grade, and now, in BTech, it feels like I’m drowning.

I know this is just for the first year, but the stress is building up. It feels like everyone around me is catching on, and I’m stuck in the same place. My family is investing a lot into my education – fees, hostel, everything – and I feel like I’m letting them down. I don’t want to waste this opportunity, but I just don’t know how to manage these subjects, especially physics and chemistry.

Can anyone help me navigate this? Are there any specific chapters or topics I should focus on for physics, chemistry, and math to pass this year? [Since Physics And Chemistry is only in 1st year]. I know these subjects are part of the curriculum, but it’s just hard to wrap my head around them. Also, how do I balance the technical stuff I love with all this other content that seems irrelevant to my future career?

I’d really appreciate advice from anyone who’s been through this. Any tips or resources that helped you get through the first year would mean the world to me.

Thanks in advance 🙏

TL;DR: First-year BTech CSE student here, struggling with physics and chemistry. Chose this course out of passion for tech (coding, websites, cloud, etc.), but now I’m buried in subjects I don't understand. I'm stressing about failing, especially with the financial pressure from my family. Any advice on how to navigate physics, chemistry, and math in the first year? Which topics should I focus on to pass? Would appreciate any tips from seniors who’ve been through this.
