how you guys do the study part for midsem... like seriously i wasted the last 2 months doing nothing .. and from tomorrow i have mid sem ...

For 3 subjects - MFC , EEE and EP , exams are on 20,21 and 22.

Now my preparation level is really zero and i can do the theory thing from the ppt but i don't know how to really finish the 3 units per subjects...like numericals diagrams n derivation n stuff..

i m in a tier 3 strict college .... also i m in yoga classes right now for the attendance purpose....

syllabus is easy for most students it seems but not me as i can't do anything and just panic a lot and just panic...

In my college they use a local ISP and they provide 1 Gbps speed.

Students get limited to 200Mbps speed in Wi-Fi but most sites are blocked by firewall and torrenting is not possible.

What about you guys?

Java is my major language. I’ve learned the basics, practised OOPs, and solved some easy and moderate HackerRank problems, but I’m still not confident.

Whenever a question requires creating 3–4 classes and implementing some logic, I struggle with where to start and how to approach it. I’ve watched lectures and practised coding, but I still face this problem.

How should I improve my problem-solving skills and learn to build things on my own

Generally I face this issue in OA things I want to practice those types of questions any resources if u can share

Thanks 🙏🏻

In online interviews how to cheat and how to not get flagged does these software for eye fixing gets flagged (I appreciate people sharing there experiences of cheating cuz I'm a noob)

So I always wanted to build a pc...but cse is the only way I'll get one...but I've heard I'll need a laptop cuz I have to carry it to college

Yeah..So currently in btech 3rd sem cse ...It is like 2 AM right now and I am doing my shitty assignments which is really time wasting cause I know what my professors will do with these assignments....I know this is a part of curriculum but can't we skip this!??!!!

Is there someone who can guide me how to start dsa like i know the material from where to study but don’t know how to study like should i watch all the lectures for a specific topic then i should start solving questions or learn from questions
I am in 2nd yr if anyone can guide me it will be a pleasure

Attempted this problem.....output is correct(checked manually) and suggested solution uses HashMaps but I used arrays so TLE error, gonna get back to this problem after I learn that

Guys, I'm ashamed to admit that I don't have a Resume whilst being in 3rd year of Btech nor do I have basic skills for project building. I'm starting from scratch regarding building projects and all, like learning MERN stack, doing DSA, etc. Can someone recommend me, what kind of resume I should have, within august of 2027, for placements in my college? Like what bare minimum it should include for a 4th year placement demanding student and all.

Today, my college issued a notice saying that students need to bring a bonafide certificate on stamp paper if they have less than 75% attendance, and their parents have to come to college as well. My attendance is 15%, so that's a new one.

Fucking morons. They don't even teach anything worth attending college for. Most lectures are boring, and half the time, the teachers are just repeating things or reading from their notes. Like, what the fuck? Why do I even have to come to college? What's the point of all this bullshit?

There are no college placements. None. Nada. No one has gotten placed through this college in the last five years. And yet, they act like attendance is the most important thing in the world.

My mini-project teacher, who's assigned to check my project and judge it, is a loser who teaches electronics and isn't even good at that. He has absolutely no connection to computer science, yet he's supposed to evaluate a CS project.

My life sucks right now. My parents think I'm simply not going to college because I'm lazy, and that it's entirely my fault. They think I should just go to college regularly, as if that would magically solve everything. I fucking hate that place. The thing I'm most interested in, technology and coding, has started to feel like a burden because of them. I used to enjoy it, but now I'm starting to dread it.

The labs are another joke. The computers are ancient, probably the same ones they had when the college first opened. We're talking Pentium processors or fourth- or fifth-generation i3s, those weird square monitors, and keyboards and mice that look like they've survived a war. There's absolutely no standard of equipment or maintenance.

We just sit there and waste time. If we ask the lab assistant to teach us something, he might do it, but with those computers, it's honestly better to just sit quietly. He doesn't say anything to us, and we don't say anything to him. Everyone knows how things work around here. It's this unspoken arrangement that nobody acknowledges, even though everyone knows what's going on.

Meanwhile, the teachers and HOD act like this is the best college in the world and that they're doing everything possible for our betterment. Complete fools. They seem completely disconnected from reality.

And what the fuck is their obsession with attendance? Why do these people even want me there? Just to waste my time sitting through lectures that teach me nothing?

I know I'm not always doing something productive. I play video games at home, too. I'm not pretending that I'm perfectly disciplined or that I use every hour of my day wisely. But the people who attend college regularly are often at the same level as me, or even worse, when it comes to coding skills and understanding this semester's syllabus. So what exactly am I missing by not attending these lectures?

We have System Design this semester, and I'm telling you, we haven't even touched on actually building a system or discussed how to approach designing real software. It's just theory, and even that is outdated. We're supposed to be learning how to build things, how systems work, and how to think like engineers, but instead, we're stuck memorising old material.

That's what pisses me off the most. I genuinely want to learn and get better at coding, but the very place that's supposed to help me do that is making me hate something I used to love.

And somehow, I'm the one who's supposed to be the problem.

Who all got selected for 6M+FTE at Walmart on campus ? not the PPO guys

Thanks in advance

Anyone from vnit nagpur I need urgent help please ? Regarding project

Hey everyone!

I'm currently a first-year student at a Gen-2 IIT in a circuital branch, and I'm primarily interested in the tech side, especially software development, AI/ML, and potentially high-paying tech roles.

I want to start preparing early from my second year so that I'm well-prepared for internships and placements by my third and fourth years.

I'd really appreciate guidance from seniors, alumni, or anyone who has gone through this process.

A few things I'd like advice on:

\- DSA: When should I start, and how much should I aim to complete before internship season?

\- Development: Should I focus on web development, systems, AI/ML, or something else initially?

\- Projects: What kind of projects actually help in getting shortlisted for internships?

\- Core vs tech: How difficult is it for circuital students at Gen-2 IITs to get software/tech placements?

\- Internships: How should I prepare for second-year and third-year internships?

\- CGPA: How important is CGPA for tech companies, and what should I target?

\- Roadmap: If you were starting again in your second year, what would your semester-by-semester plan look like?

My goal is to build strong fundamentals, get a good internship, and eventually land a strong tech offer. I'm willing to put in the work; I just want to make sure I'm focusing on the right things instead of wasting time on things that don't add much value.

I'd especially appreciate advice from people who have secured good SDE or AI/ML roles from similar colleges and branches.

Thanks in advance!

Please

Ok, so this is out of context, totally, i am final yr student and this girl from aerospace is in 4th yr, i dont have direct crush but i liked her personality, damn she won hackathons and active in sports, that is what i found attractive, 3-4 months, i am trying to convince myself to talk to her, this tension i felt in my whole body, today i gathered my utmost courage to talk to her, then boom she is talking to someone on her phone, my friend had told me she might have a bf, but i want to confirm these personally, now that i have confirmed now that i have overcome my fear, yess i know i got rejected, but i am so happy that i took the courage to know the other side, damm i wrote this whole para, emotions flowing through my whole body.... her bf asked who is this guy and all ,things got akward, she left the table and went, but i know the answer nowwww and yeah a pure moment of bliss it is

it’s not really a rant/vent but I was curious, not just about ragging but also about the in general senior-junior relationship in engineering colleges, especially government colleges.

what do you guys’ experiences look like? is it just girls ragging girls and guys doing that to guys or can it be with opposite genders too?

also another random question: did/do you call your senior didi/bhaiyya or any other honorific?

so I am 3rd year btech student from a tier 3 college (placement happens but mainly mass recruiters) now my technical skills are shit like absolutely doomed but I am currently working a video editing internship which might convert into PPO next month and it would pay me same as the mass hiring technical job(probably more than that) but it is a remote job.

Now I am confused what to do, so i have thought about three options:
1. Convert onsite to the editing job which would increase my pay but it would be in Bengaluru, so I will have nothing left in my hand all will go in my expenses.
2. keep the remote job and prep for gate on the side and then restart tech journey in mtech.
3. Leave editing job and focus fully on tech placement.

Now please help me with this as I am really stuck and dont know what to do.
also my family aren't that well off so I have to support them in next 5 years with some money

i think this also a good parameter to judge clgs so peeps from the clgs drop the names of the one which have considerably good food, hygiene is the first priority taste second nutrition third
