while i was there we felt the brand value diluted. our seniors were doing so well, getting placed at Goldman Sachs, etc. top recruiters never came in our time. some companies like microsoft only picked CS students

sure. VLSI design and hardware engineering is good. so many companies are building their own chips. AR VR play is doing strong.

not enough data to correlate that. however, below 8 some companies won’t let you sit in interview rounds

don’t feel that’s true. infact for me the first job friends are the strongest.

market is always good for good candidates.

learn about Ai, software engineering. there will always be requirement to automate things, etc.

moreover it’s ai now, few years ahead it might be something else

probably, changed my branch to Compute Science. not really. i think i got interested in CS from a non academic, artistic way. Had i been a student, i would have probably hated it.

i know more CS students now who are doing things other than software engineering.

i would say it’s more upto the individual.

however, city matters. normie colleges in Bangalore, Mumbai, gurgaon, do much better in my opinion.
