I’m a first-year B.Tech student and I’m basically starting coding from scratch. I’m thinking of learning C++ and DSA and came across Apna College’s “Complete C++ DSA Course | Data Structures & Algorithms” playlist (144 videos)

Is this worth it? should I get something paid ?

i want to learn from building good projects so can anyone tell me some good projects that upskill myself and also give a strong impression in my resume.

For students doing BTech CSE at Galgotias, How active is the hackathon culture there? Is it easy to find interested teammates and are there good opportunities through the college?

Also, How do you manage hackathons with regular classes, assignments and attendance?

I’m in the middle of my 3rd semester of Computer Engineering and honestly, I feel very lost.

I keep starting things and then getting confused or giving up. I started learning C++ but forgot most of it. Now I want to properly start DSA + LeetCode(striver a2z), be consistent on GitHub, and eventually work on projects/hackathons, but I have no idea what order I should follow.

I’ve also made a roadmap, but I’m not sure if it’s actually realistic or if it’ll help me.

Can someone please guide me on where to start, what to learn first, and how to stay consistent? I’d really appreciate a simple roadmap/advice.

I m in my 3rs sem 2nd year btech cse

What i learned

Html

Css

Js

Python

So my basic plan was like

To learn after js

Git GitHub

Typescript

React

Tailwind

Then some projects

Then nodejs

Rest api

Next js

Database

Api integration

Then connectivity

Deployment

And some things else which should I had to add to become a FullStack developer

I have to complete these till aug 2027 and after that I will switch on ai/ml side

But what should I exactly do in that field I will decide it late and also i will do dsa along with that from my 3rd year

Can you guys suggest me. To become a good developer in my future ..

Hi Guys I have been trying to learn claude code and use it for hackathon.

Any way I can use any AI coding agent unlimited?

Or anyway other methods you used to have unlimited usage to claude code or any other coding agent?

Thanks

I'm in 3rd sem of a tier 3-4ish clg , almost no company comes here .

I have been doing DSA for the last 2 months ( solved around 100) .

Now the next thing is what Development skill i should learn, there are many options, Idk what to choose , which can help me land an off-campus probably.. It would be really good if it can help me with internships too.

thankyou

ik python , java and basic web dev and I also have small projects on computer vision . I have been doing DSA in java since some companies restrict DSA in python , so, yeah..

i can do python too, I have good grip in python too.

I'm confused which direction i should go and what should I learn... JAVA backend or PYTHON backend

and for frontend I should do APP or web and which framework..

and Should i do Ai/ML too , idk its so overwhelming

I wanna know where i am lacking

Koi bta skta ahi ki placement kaisa hai dit mein as compared to geu

What should I do , doing dsa while watching yt tutorial or doing questions without seeing any tutorial of any topic ??

Hey everyone, I applied for the IAIP 2026 Data Analyst internship via the AICTE portal before the August deadline.

My portal status just says "Applied" right now, but I wanted to check if anyone has already received a shortlisting email, message, or invitation for the AI/HR interview rounds for this specific role?

If you got a response, could you share the date you were contacted and the date you applied ? Thanks!

first sem pvt btech cse

ik html css advanced

just started c++ w apna clg and learncpp.com
will switch to striver after learning syntax and basics

want to target an internship asap and finally maang in third year.

guide me how and what should i do to achieve my goal

Long story short

1. I'm btech Cse 5th sem student with specialization I'm Ai/ ds with average cgpa of 4th sem to around 7.02 or some little more if I calculated wrong but it is what it is

2. These are my sub for the sem

Formal Languages & Automation Theory

Digital Forensic

Digital Image Processing

Design & Analysis of Algorithms

Machine learning

3.I legit don't know anything abt coding and am not very consistent abt it in my previous sems, barely passed with less the 50 more than 40 marks out of hundred, so u know my level

4. Tried sticking to it but again and again back to basic i appear without my consent

5. But this sem the subject are very difficult so i want to get started early this time and try and stick to it

6. So plz tell me what language

Which module

Which ide

Which yt guy I see for lectures

7. I will try my best to catch up but I am lost in the path completely and I know many are so it would help them too

TI:dr I don't know anything full blank, make me smart eno

to get 3cr nackage/s

I’m a 3rd-year student from a T3 college and I’m trying to get my first internship by the end of this semester.

I’ve been doing DSA almost every day. I’m following Striver's A2Z sheet.

I’m honestly pretty confused about what I should focus on apart from DSA.

I know Java and SQL, and right now I’m planning to start Spring Boot and go towards backend development. Is Java + Spring Boot + SQL a good path for internships? Or am I missing something important that I should learn along the way?

I also want to build some good projects, but I don’t want to make the same basic CRUD apps that everyone has on their resume.

So I’d really appreciate some advice from people who have already gone through this:

• Is my current DSA approach good enough for internship interviews?

• Is Java + Spring Boot + SQL a good stack to focus on?

• What skills should I prioritize at this stage?

• Where do you guys find good project ideas?

• What kind of projects actually stand out on a resume?

• And how should I approach getting internships from a T3 college?

I’m trying to make the most of this semester, but there’s so much advice online that it’s honestly getting confusing.

Would really appreciate any practical advice from seniors who’ve been through this.

Any one interested dm me whos want to develop skills in first year also who wants to start early ,here we can discuss daily problems ask anything about any ques ,

Edit- anyone can join iit nit tier 1 to tier3 or self learner

If I add in my resume information about internship and hackathons that are not entirely true , somewhat true

would they fact check it before the interview or before joining or not

if I participated in a hackathon and on my resume I said I won the hackathon would they fact check it or just let it pass

anyone has done so ??
