Btech, tech branch, tier 3 college...

Introducing GPT 6, does most of normal software engineer work... And don't forget, it's gonna keep advancing at even faster rates in future...

MF almost all of normal fresher work is done for....

Avg package is 3-4.5lakhs max for tier 3 colleges

Then we have cream, IITs, NITs, IIITs, BITs, etc...

Here we are barely getting tier 3 colleges, and their is gonna be massive AI advancement risk to almost every fresher role in future... How tf does a normal guy like me survive this shit?

It's almost like a battle ground of survival of the fittest, are avg dudes even have any decent future in Tech careers?

Drop your takes and thoughts....

interview- 29 july

offerletter- 8 sept

state govt college,

gave interview for digital

2027 batch.

i shifted interview around

ai+cloud+computer networks + ip address+ how hosting works+ aws + ssh+ why linux....

2 dsa question + 1 sql(nth highest salary--> gave two approaches)

insert node in doubly linked list (handled edge cases)

write code for pascal triangle

ONE QUESTION I DIDN'T ANSWERED WAS --> (WHAT IS ROWNUM? checked later it's a pseudo column in oracle db).

MR didn't even saw my resume, i started projects in my introduction and he continued from there only and asked more then more from my words.

joining cse this year and laptop research has somehow confused me more than college counselling 😭

every second person is like “RTX le bhai future AI/ML ke liye”

but seniors, genuinely asking. how many of you actually needed a dedicated GPU regularly in college?

not gaming. actual CSE/AIML work.

because I'm looking at Flipkart laptops rn and around my budget it basically becomes 2 choices:

good Core Ultra 5 thin/light, 16gb ram, better battery, easier to carry everyday

OR

RTX laptop, much better if I actually need CUDA/local ML, but heavier + battery obviously takes a hit

Flipkart's Back to Campus section is actually useful for comparing both types together, but now I'm stuck on what I will realistically use for 4 years, not which one has the bigger spec sheet lol

for normal coding + DSA + webdev + Android Studio and then AI/ML later, is RTX genuinely worth compromising battery for?

or are most students anyway using Colab/cloud/college compute when things get serious?

asking seniors especially. what did you ACTUALLY run locally in 2nd/3rd/4th year?

I SWEAR TO FUCKING GOD

last month I interviewed for an AI First Engineering Intern role at a Malaysian company

6 months onsite in Kuala Lumpur, ₹1.5lakhs/month + relocation bonus.

I got shortlisted, gave 3 rounds and passed all of them

Then they emailed me before sending the offer, just to confirm that I was okay relocating to KL

I was fucking happy. I thought my college would give me an NOC since it was a proper internship.

Nope

College doesnt allow 3rd year students to do onsite internships. They refused to give me an NOC/approval and even told me I'd get backlogs if I went anyway.

Spent a week going from faculty to faculty trying to get permission. Nothing worked.

Eventually had to tell the company that my college doesn't allow it, and I had to let the opportunity go.

₹1.5L/month, international experience, Kuala Lumpur... gone because of a fuckass college policy

feeling pretty down about it ngl

Just needed to get this off my chest

Edit: MIT ADT UNIVERSITY

Uhh I am really embarrassed and full of emotions right now.2 months back I got this offer and the stipend was decent. It was going well until my college resumed. I got so overwhelmed that I was just not able to manage any of it. Neither academics nor internship work. I was barely sleeping 3 hours a day just to keep up skilling myself and not fall behind. Got a text from my manager today and it said they were not satisfied with my performance and I am on a notice period for now. Idk how to cope up with this. I was too excited and happy that I have an internship in this cooked market. Now I just believe nazar is real. Idk man I am just blank right now.

After disaster 12th of 58 percent

Despite all my effort in the first year I only scored 6.95 cgpa in the first year

I am 0 at coding just know some c and java

Also I have no ambition I was never good at anything and i didn't wanna do engineering but had no choice .

Now I am stuck here idk what to do now

My sleep schedule is ruined

My college has very lenient attendance so i all together stopped going to college from this sem

But I don't do anything at home as well it sucks a lot

need 3 members for the team .

about me : am 2027 final year undergrad , have decent knowledge of ML and DL and wont claim myself as too muh of an expert . Has practical experince of such comepetitions .

what i am looking for :

dedicated team members who can work for 72 hour hackathon wthout ghosting at end time or not doing anything , you can 2027 or 2028 grad but should jave decent enough knowledge and practical experince too . i am not doing this for timepass but aimig for top 50 to get ppi if everything go well .

only serious people message , no ghosters !

Story time

So i was preparing for higher studies since the start (more like coping) and to be honest the only thing I did in first and 2nd year was codeforces, thats abt it. No front end back end, barely any knowledge of ML/DL, just did coursework and cf sometimes.

Come intern season I sit for OA for timepass but lowk got shortlisted for first round interview

i had no projects so i just wrote up some technical skills and for projects i wrote some stuff that i had previously submitted for my lab assignments in college

the interview was in person and lasted 2 hrs

mainly he first asked 3 leetcode mediums that i had to explain and cods nothing too difficult

Then second part he started asking me c++ knowledge like smart pointers virtual distructors, then oops and some other concepts like struct padding template, pass by value and by reference

i answered like half of them and gave some half assed explanation fke the rest and cleared first round

second round was with a more senior guy who asked me god knows what i couldnt explain anything so i was expecting to not go any futher so i slept off and by thr time i woke up i got the news that i was selected

Thoda zyada hi negative side dikh rha is sub pe

Thoda positive side bhi dekhlo

Time to give back to this community that i have been a part of more than 3 years now.
Would love to mentor 30-40 2nd and 3rd year guys. 1st year and final year people can also join if they want. starting small cause not sure if i'll be able to handle even this much.

This won't be a 1-1 mentoring kinda thing, i am in my final year myself so can't give that much time.
I have made a twitter handle where i'll be sharing resources, tips, using ai in constructive manner and the most important uplifting the Indian oss community.

Interested peeps can slide into my dms💚🫄🏻

How good is this GPT-6 that everyone is so afraid, like how much AGI has it achieved, is it that good?

All I can get is depressing 😭

I genuinely don't understand how do I make friends.

Its been a few days since I have been living in hostel, (my classes haven't started yet) but still I haven't been able to make a single friend. People come to talk to me but I just can't hold a conversation, after asking branch, name etc, there is this awkward silence which I am not able to fill. People have already formed groups of 2-3 or more people, and I am unable to get into any of it. I do play football and had interaction there with seniors and a few freshers but then nothing after coming back to hostel. I am daily sitting and eating alone in the mess. Its not like I did not have friends before, I had lots of them in school, but here it just feels so hard. I don't understand what to talk about with them. I am a bit introverted and don't like misogynistic/misandrist, instagram trends humor (atleast from people i dont know well).

And also before coming for college I had a surgery for teeth implant in my front four teeth in upper jaw, and dentist has put me on a 6 month healing phase, so I have a temporary flipper for my teeth there which my dentist has said is to be only used for talking no chewing and for this reason I always end up denying the people who try to invite me to eat together on outing/mess. I really don't want to be like this till the end of first sem or year, but ig there is nothing I can do about it.

Help me with some advice if you can

(I dont really know how to write well, so sorry if the post is all over the place)

companies are hiring less and less ppl every month, more more advance AI models being launch, even some students from top tier clg like IIT are not getting placed, trend trend me CS liya toh tha but im scared if i didnt get a good job in future parents think if i just grind clg, companies will reach me by their side, but how do i explain thenm this shit, im prepaing for gate, but seeing these news on daily basis i cant seem to focus anymore not in clg or anything else

since you all might have heard that firstly there was this stupid ass rule of no student can go to others room in hostel and then fire in IIT ROPAR, we have a brand new thing

apparently in our prestigous college theres neptoism as how the director of the college (Rajeev Ahuja) appointed a faculty member when he didnt even had the required experience, his ews certificate was fake and more importantly he did his phd under rajeev ahuja too

If this is not nepotism then we dont know what is, there are a lot of black hands in this college and nothing is going good here, everythings falling the NIRF ranking, companies blacklisting this college and a hell lot of corruption

yeh bikk gayi hai government meme ko insert kardo plis
for the full report with all the proofs attached you can go to this link iitrprkimaachudgyi.
there are many more things to this like this and much more
we are firstly living under a dictator rule with these stupid ass rules and this crezy corruption

So last week after our lab, one cpu(i7 btw) went missing itself from the lab premises and then from there onwards we students weren't allowed to carry our bags inside the labs, and now someone stole the mouse. Bro Wtf is happening in our college man. Institute of national importance btw and they don't even have cctv installed inside labs😭

Yeah probably too high goal but I see ppl from tier 3 and 69 getting top top abroad colleges and i want to aim that no matter what sm1 who is educated in this?

​

1. So I have cleared oa now (on campus )second round is schedule tomorrow with Microsoft teams link for the meet and live coding link .so my doubt is are they going to ask only dsa question or core cs , resume also ?

2. As mentioned in the procedure after oa there are two rounds so after 2nd round 3rd will be on the same day or ?after few days ..after shortlisting

I will be joining tier 3 clg this year ( clg has not started yet) , and I just wanted to ask that I am doing btech in cybersecurity not cs is it fine because do they hire cs graduate for cyber roles ?? And just wanted a road map regarding cybersecurity idk what to do ( skills and stuff) , also will my board marks affect during placements 😭?? . I cannot take a drop cuz parents 😭😭😭. Suggest me a good laptop too and also mistakes I should avoid doing and stuff

do nits/iits include 6m+ppo in placement stats?
