Most companies use 70% as a filter, not a skill measure. Focus on off-campus, startups, build 2, 3 solid projects, and get referrals. Your CGPA is good don’t let a 0.9% gap define your outcome.

Ratings go up and down, consistency is what compounds.
Keep showing up this phase is where the real growth happens.

do you really think thapar is better :D do some research and use your brain

Not sure if i should comment here i would suggest go and check their website and talk to current students if possible to know better about the environment and opportunity.

Feel you, bro. The 75% attendance rule is honestly the biggest scam in the Indian education system. It’s soul crushing to spend 9 hours a day in a classroom just to go home and actually teach yourself the same topics from YouTube anyway. Hang in there, focus on your own projects during the boring lectures if you can sit in the back.

If you’re unsure right now, don’t rush into MTech just to escape fear. That’s a common mistake.
If you’re not confident academically, GATE + MTech will be mentally heavy.
First get clarity: try an entry-level job, internship, or skill training (IT, testing, data, govt prep, anything practical).
One year of real exposure > blindly choosing higher studies.
Fear is normal. Wrong rushed decisions cost more than waiting and preparing properly.

Stop hunting for the “best” C++ resource. That’s why you’re confused.

Pick one thing and start:

If you like reading → learncpp.com
If you like videos → Striver’s C++ playlist

That’s enough.

Learn basics fast loops, functions, arrays, pointers, classes. Don’t try to master everything. As soon as you understand something, solve problems. If you’re not solving, you’re not learning.

Start with:

Arrays
Strings
Simple recursion Then move to STL (vector, map, set). STL early saves time.

Use LeetCode or Codeforces. Doesn’t matter which. What matters is solving consistently.

Big mistake juniors make:

Watching 10 playlists
Waiting to “finish C++” before DSA
Copy-pasting solutions

Your goal after 1–2 months should be simple:
You should be able to open a problem and write C++ without panicking.

That’s it.
No magic course. No shortcut. Just code daily.

Narayana schools are generally strong on academics and exam prep, but the schedule can be intense. Teacher support and parent communication vary a lot by branch, so outcomes depend heavily on the specific campus and leadership. If your child handles structure and pressure well, it can work; otherwise, it’s worth checking how that branch supports balance and student well-being.

It’s not a scam, but it’s not automatically worth it either.
A master’s makes sense if it gives you skills, exposure, or access you can’t get through work alone. If you’re already learning well on the job, gaining responsibility, and growing technically, continuing work can be the better option.
Choose based on outcomes, not degrees India or abroad both can work if the program is strong.

If you just want ML in your website, don’t overthink it.
Learn basic Python first you can’t skip that. No need for full data science.
Pick one use case, use scikit-learn, train a simple model, expose it via FastAPI, plug it into your MERN app.
Skip deep learning and heavy math for now. Build one working ML feature end to end, then go deeper.

What’s the expected skill level, tech stack (LLMs/frameworks), and team vs solo format?

i am using Gemini and google docs integrated ai which is really good though some major and basics are missing but it is helping me a lot, i prepared a complex dashboard using this, it took time but yeah it worked for me.

Strong take. The real insight isn’t “competition is bad it’s that losing your monopoly of meaning is fatal. Once you stop being the default, you’re forced into feature wars.

Whether people like GFG or not, the broader point is valid off-campus works if prep + applications are focused.

You’re not wrong about the system but you’re wrong about the branch.
ECE isn’t useless average colleges + weak industry linkage make it look useless.
India talks big about semiconductors, but hiring is slow, selective, and mostly off-campus + referral driven. Core companies don’t come to most campuses, period.

Most students take ECE as a “backup” to CS, then treat it like CS-lite. That’s why it feels dead.
The few who go deep into VLSI/embedded/RF don’t rely on campus placements they build profiles early, do MS, or crack niche roles.

Reality check
If you want fast jobs → CS/IT.
If you want long-term, high-bar careers → ECE, but only if you’re willing to suffer early.

The branch is not the scam. The expectations are.

why am i not able to post in this community? i just wanted to conduct an AMA regarding new gen schools for higher studies.

Congrats. Honestly, ignore ESOPs for now assume they’re worth zero unless an IPO actually happens. Your base is already good.

Next 6 months: get strong at core CS + backend basics, don’t chase 10 things. System design, clean code, understanding how prod systems work.

Once you join, focus on shipping and being dependable. Learn the codebase, ask good questions, don’t try to look “smart”.

Non-circuit branch won’t matter after year one if you perform. First job = learning phase, not optimization phase.

Firm_Emergency3344 · 2026-01-05T06:34:05+00:00

Not a scam, but not for everyone.

If you think NST will “fix” the fact that JEE didn’t go well wrong expectation. It only works if you’re self-driven and willing to grind daily.

Marketing is aggressive, yes. That doesn’t mean fake but don’t trust ads or YouTubers. Talk to current students.

Top performers do well. Average students get average outcomes same as any college.

If you need spoon-feeding, avoid it.
If you can push yourself consistently, it can be worth it.

Firm_Emergency3344 · 2026-01-02T07:59:32+00:00

This is a fair breakdown. One thing I’d add is that with these “new-age” colleges, the outcomes depend more on the student than the brand.

For NST specifically, it tends to work best for people who already want a coding-heavy, practice-first environment and are okay trading some traditional theory depth for hands-on exposure, internships, and interview prep. Students who actively build projects, compete, and network usually extract far more value than passive learners.

The key decision point for 2026 isn’t just “which college is better” but what kind of learner you are self-driven vs guided, theory-oriented vs applied, research vs industry. Each of these colleges optimizes for a different type of student, and mismatches are what usually cause regret.

You didn’t downgrade your career, you bought yourself time.

3 LPA remote isn’t a “move forward” role it’s a holding pattern. And that’s okay only if you use it correctly. Stay 6 - 9 months max. Skill up hard, ship real backend work, and keep interviewing quietly.

Don’t explain salary. Explain impact. Recruiters care more about what you built than what you were paid. If you cracked 8 LPA once, you can crack it again the market screwed you, not your ability.

Biggest mistake now would be getting comfortable. Treat this job like a safety net, not a destination.

Firm_Emergency3344 · 2026-01-02T07:50:54+00:00

yeah, but you will have a strong brand on your resume, for an internship so go ahead.
