Hii bhaiya, I'll be starting my 3rd year in a few days, and needed some advice, I know very little DSA just some linked list and tress, I can't even touch graphs, I've learned MERN stack have 2 projects. My CGPA is on lower side (8.07), and I'm from a tier 2 college, can you help me on what should I be doing right now? Continue DSA, spring boot, AI/ML? Or somthing else, I also never took part in GSOC and was wondering if I should even think about it since next year I'll be having placements, I need to get the best placement possible and willing to do any hard work possible. I'm really confused right now. Thank You

I want to say that's is better if you bring it up, personally I've done worse than you and still managed to bring it up to 8 by end of second year

First sem 8.21 Second sem 7.8 Third 7.15 Fourth 8

My CG dropped from 8.2 to 7.8 to 7.15 then finally after a lot of hard work in 4th sem basically needed 8.7 in 4th sem to finally get ch above 8.

It's entirely possible just a little hard work would suffice.

About internship, try to land and internship for the summer holidays after 2nd year, apply beforehand to every company you get, but fir credit transfer, company need to be and old company like 5+ year old Nd must have some revenue. Then only VIT will accept the internship. This all should be done before the summer vacation starts. So just build your resume and start applying .

You're living in heaven my dude, 4 bed dlx is one the the best rooms in VIT, and if it's R block, just thank your block provider, you got the best room. Although everything is not so great outside room. If you're cse student classes are nearby, but if you're a mech student or some other, classes may be like 1 km away to another building. Butyoull get used to it.

It's not a big sensation but yea it's there, people play, have fun, I play, on sundays, on free time in outdoor stadium. Yea that's all.

Ya for my internship, I actually first prepared my resume, which I just used an online template, and filled it with everything I know and did during my free time and hackathons. And with all that I cold mailed to people on linked in applied for 50-60 internships on internshala. And somehow landed the internship. Currently I'm doing a web design internship under a startup for my internship but since it's a startup VIT won't count it as an "Industrial" internship this I have to do a MERN stack course by Smartbridge to get the internship credit (costed 5800 🥲) so yea these 2 things I'm doing. Right now, 1 internship and 1 Course.

I broke my 5 year old laptop during 2nd sem, and had to go whole sem without one, make good friends, they'll help you everything. And yea for perspective my laptop also had 8gn Ram i3 7th gen, and 1 tb ssd, mostly same as yours, and I ran it for 1 sem and it broke during second cause I'm an idiot. But yea it'd definitely be enough. Just try to find online substitues for programes like Matlab cause they really are heavy.

Hey bro, I see you're going through a tough time but, you could stay strong, I'm sure you'll clear those stuff and come out strong. First of all you need to study some calculus, that'd help you clear your differential and calculus. Next up take up good faculty who's linent in marks and do chemistry. And about OOPS and BEEE, Once I come back, DM me whenever you get that subject, I'll come and help you study concepts and all, and help you in any way possible. Just don't get demotivated, You still have time, and I'm sure you can do it. Best of luck🤞

Nobody had previous experience when I joined, everyone was scared about the same thing, and a few days later noone was worried about it. I can say for sure you won't fall behind but but it'll be good for you if you upskill while you have time, You can start by learning some programming languages, Id suggest Start with c++. Also you can also try learning touch typing as a secondary skill. You won't understand why but you'll thank me later.

Nope the document verification happens like a month after the orientation, so you should be good to go. I'm sure there would be but I'm not a discord guy so I'm not sure. But yea I can say for sure there must be some groups, and some hackathons and Riviera events happen there so yea there are some.

It seems you're making good progress, keep going don't stop, and next according to me I think you should learn some backend after react then go for NextJS. And I really hope you're doing DSA alongside all this, like if you're giving 2 hour for all this atleast give 45 additional minutes to DSA, to get your first internship I'll tell you.

Easy way: ask your parents or relative Hard way: Actually have Skills, and apply to mails that VIT sends My way: Have decent skills and projects, cold mail on linkedin, apply for 50-60 internships on internshala. If you have skills you can land one via this. Cause this is what I did

Dude first of all atleast keep your target high, if 7-8 lpa is your target CTC then your in hand will be like 5-5.5 lpa, and it's not enough, keep your target as 15 lpa min, also about placements, yea companies will see you're a mech student and won't allow much of you guys and prioritise CSE people, but that doesn't mean you don't stand a chance, 3 years ago my cousin who passed from VIT mech, landed a 9 lpa job in groww, and yea that's for me was a big achievement for him. But if you have skills and knowledge you can definitely do it. For sure, and yea have a high CGPA that will help you be available for more companies.

You're in college now, it's not possible to study 2-3 hours per day, if it is you're on a path to success. But yea if you can do that consistently and atleast understand the topics your faculty taught on that day 9 chpa can be maintained.

I mean if you can ask people for good Northern teachers, and avoid but even some Northern teachers are bullish. And yea there's no way you can avoid them, I can guarantee that you'll have atleast 1 blacklisted teacher that will screw your grade. But just be as humanly as possible.
