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.

Hi all

I'm fresher i recently joined in btech (cse) ,I'm extremely a introved kind a person, I don't have good communication skills and no confidence ,I'm just average in everything I'm just feeling down ,i don't even have much frnds

So ,anyone just suggest me how to survive in clg ,and how to maintain good cgp, what skills i have to learn ? In viva or in lab, how I represent myslef as confidence person

Today i had a english lab where i have introduce myself but due to stage fear and nervousness i couldn't make up where all my classmates get good marks

I just need suggestion...

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..

Is Applied AI in Veda IIT worth it?
Is it hard surviving in there?
what are the placements like?
what are the packages offered?

I have completed my 12th class from pcb stream with 80%+ in boards. I was interested in neet but after giving reneet my all interest has gone and I want to do other courses but my stream doesn't allow so I'm thinking of giving nios exam for maths only which will allow me to go into tech. But I don't know what to do what course to do I don't know what interest I'm having and what can I do in future.

Can you tell me what to do which course is best as per the requirement in future with best scope and I have searched for btech in cse but as you know I can only get tier 3 college so is it worthy enough to do btech from tier 3 college, I'm ready for the hardwork to up scale my skills in any field.

So please help me for my career!

Genuinely curious with AI changing the way software is built, are colleges still spending an entire semester teaching C, C++ or Java the traditional way?
If you’re currently in college or graduated recently, what does your CS/IT curriculum actually look like?
Curious to hear what colleges are teaching vs. what students actually need in the real world.

As a 4th year B.Tech CSE student, I honestly don't understand why 75% attendance is still mandatory when placements are the main priority now.

We're supposed to prepare for DSA, aptitude, coding rounds, interviews, projects, etc., but a lot of time goes into attending lectures and placement practice sessions where many of us don't even understand much.

I get that for students who haven't prepared yet, these sessions might be their last chance to learn and get placement-ready. But for students who want to seriously prepare on their own, this feels like a huge waste of time.

Shouldn't there be some flexibility with attendance in the final year, especially during placement season?

Anyone else feeling the same?

Hey people!

We are putting together a small 60-day accountability group for people preparing for Product Management / APM roles, and we're opening a few more spots.

The idea is pretty simple: instead of another content-heavy course, it's a small group of people working towards the same goal and actually doing the work together.

Over 60 days, we will work through:

Weeks 1–2 — Foundation

• LinkedIn positioning
• Target role/company definition
• Portfolio / proof of work

Weeks 3–4 — Applications

• Building a targeted company pipeline
• Application strategy
• Outreach + referrals
• Applying to relevant opportunities

Weeks 5–7 — Preparation

• Product sense
• Product design
• Metrics
• Strategy
• Behavioural
• Technical / architecture where relevant
• Repeated mock rounds + feedback

Weeks 8–9 — Tailored Preparation

• Domain-specific preparation
• Company-specific preparation
• Final mocks
• Personalised feedback

We are keeping it to 15 people so that it stays genuinely interactive rather than becoming a 100-person webinar.

The group starts tomorrow, September 1, and we're still open to adding a few people.

If you're actively preparing for PM/APM roles, feel free to comment or DM me and I'll share the details
