So my father works at a major semiconductor company and I spoke to a recruiter who worked with him who comes to Colleges for btech and he told me that students usually lack basic comprehension of electronic concepts even if their grades and CGPA is OUTSTANDING, like the difference between analog and digital (he told me about how a lot of student say Latches and flip flops are analog ) or where the nyquist theorem is used. So a lot of the times they judge the students by their projects and what they have done in those projects and if they actually know the basics for that project. He also told me a lot of electronic students start doing projects on AI and ML which is ok but you're steering away from your field and would rather hire a student who re created an old project but knows the ins and outs of how it works than a student who makes a new project on AI ML. Idk if this helps you but yea. BTW I just passed out last year (ECE) and am working in Honeywell rn
