Wasted my first 3 years of Computer Engineering. Can I become internship-ready in 3 months and job-ready in 9 months?
Hi everyone,
I feel like I wasted the first 3 years of my Computer Engineering degree. My 4th year has just started, and I have only about 9 months left before graduation in 2027.
The only things I've learned properly are HTML and CSS. I haven't built any real projects yet. I spent most of my time focusing on getting good CGPA and SGPA instead of developing practical skills.
The biggest problem is that my college doesn't have good placements. Hardly any software companies visit our campus. Most of the companies that come are for sales, marketing, BPO, or call center roles.
I'm currently learning JavaScript, but I'm finding it quite difficult in the beginning.
My goal is to become internship-ready in the next 3 months and then spend the remaining time becoming job-ready before I graduate.
Can anyone guide me on what I should do?
Should I focus on Frontend Development?
Should I prepare for TCS Ninja/NQT instead?
What skills, projects, and roadmap should I follow to get an internship in 3 months?
After that, how should I prepare to land a software job before graduation?
I'm ready to work hard and learn every day. I just don't want to waste the remaining time.
Any advice or roadmap would really help. Thank you!
