I’m a first-year Mechanical Engineering student at a decent Tier 1.5 college in India.
Honestly, I’m feeling quite scared about my future right now.
I had other options, but I ended up choosing Mechanical. Initially I thought I’d be fine with it, but after coming to college and seeing CSE/ECE students doing coding, internships, DSA, etc., I’ve started questioning myself a lot.
Recently, even a senior told me that I made a mistake by choosing Mechanical, and that honestly got into my head.
Now I keep thinking:
What if I graduate after 4 years and still don’t have a good career?
What if I can’t get a good job?
What if I prepare for CAT and don’t score well?
What if I spend 4 years trying coding and still can’t compete with CSE students?
What if I choose the wrong path again?
I want to do well in life. I’m willing to work hard, but I’m genuinely confused about where I should put that hard work.
I’m thinking of keeping multiple doors open:
Maintain a good CGPA in Mechanical
Learn coding/DSA seriously alongside college
Build projects and try for off-campus tech opportunities
Slowly start preparing for CAT/MBA
Keep core Mechanical opportunities open as a backup
Maybe explore GATE/MS/etc. later if something interests me
But I’m scared that trying to do everything will mean that I become average at everything.
I have around 4 years before graduation, so logically I know I have time. But emotionally, it feels like everyone else has already figured out their path and I’m already behind.
I don’t expect someone to tell me that everything will magically be fine. I just want some honest advice from people who have actually been through this.

Best yt videos or channel to learn statistics and probability for data analyst

I'm in 3rd sem of a tier 3ish clg , almost no company comes here .

I have been doing DSA for the last 2 months ( solved around 100) .

Now the next thing is what Development skill i should learn, there are many options, Idk what to choose , which can help me land an off-campus probably.. It would be really good if it can help me with internships too.

thankyou

ik python , java and basic web dev and I also have small projects on computer vision . I have been doing DSA in java since some companies restrict DSA in python , so, yeah..
