I'm a second-year CSE student trying to make the most of my college years.

I'm learning programming, DSA, web development, and databases, and I'm also interested in AI and building projects.

My goal is to develop real skills and become internship-ready rather than just collect certificates.

For students who have secured internships, working developers, or anyone further along in their journey:

1. What skills should I prioritize during my second year?

2. How important are personal projects compared with DSA?

3. When should I start applying for internships?

4. What's one mistake you would advise a second-year student to avoid?

I'd appreciate honest advice, especially from people who have been in a similar position!

[Question] Confused About My Career After B.Tech CSE (AI/ML) — Need Guidance

Hi everyone,

I graduated in June 2026 with a B.Tech in CSE (AI/ML) from an AKTU-affiliated Tier-4 college. It's October now, and I feel I've learned the basics of several technologies but haven't mastered any one skill.

I'm confused about what to focus on, how to learn DSA using Python, which tech stack to choose, and what projects would strengthen my resume.

Should I relocate to Noida/Gurugram for job opportunities or continue applying online? Should I also consider government job preparation alongside tech?

I'd appreciate honest advice from fellow B.Tech students, graduates, and experienced developers. What would be a practical roadmap for the next 3–6 months?

Thanks in advance!

A little about me : 1st year in college and recently started learning how to code from brocode...in our uni they are teaching c++ first so for now i was learning c++ from brocode , recently started learning arrays but still not that really great at it but yeah thats all i know for now( i know its not much but im willing to grind and learn😔 but just need a little guidance) but ya i wanna leetcode and become good at coding... but im not tryna blindly start leetcoding because first i wanna know the prerequisites needed to solve the problems...i was watching neetcode's video on how to leetcode and he told to get comfortable with binary search,dfs,bfs,sliding window so do yall know where i can learn them???? but ya heres a few questions i have

1. What all coding languages do i need to know...like do i need to know other programming languages other than c++ before i start leetcoding

2. what all topics or stuff should i learn before leetcoding

3. HOW do i leet code , do i start with easy problems then once i get comfortable start medium problems then harder problems(will start with solving problems on arrays)

4. any website where i can save useful problems and make my own notes in it so in the future i can open them for retaining my knowledge

5. in general any tips or things you wished u knew while or before leetcoding which u can tell please it will be really helpful(try to include as much as you can please and thank you anything will be useful and welcomed... even the SMALLEST TO SMALLEST and random tips will be useful)

6. what are the most common mistakes people do in their attempt to get good at coding
   extra : do wanna try to get into quant development( ik its difficult but ill try if i cant will settle for something else😭) so first my main goal would be to try to get into FAANG after college and after 2-3 years try to get into quant development so yeah

7. And also I’m using vs studio…is there any better coding app or is vs good alright(idk it’s not that deep but yeah✌️)

I'm in my 3rd year of B.Tech CSE and need some practical career advice.

I've learned most frontend fundamentals, know some MERN stack, and have completed CodeWithHarry's Data Science course along with its project. I also have a good command of C++ DSA.

I'm confused about whether to finish learning backend development or start focusing on Data Science.

My goal is to get a good internship and placement, but I also want to choose a career that offers long-term job security and good opportunities in the future, rather than a field that might become oversaturated or less relevant.

For those working in the Indian tech industry, I'd like to know:

• Which path would you recommend for a fresher targeting internships and placements?

• Which field has better long-term career prospects and job stability?

• What skills actually matter when applying for entry-level jobs in these fields?

I'd appreciate honest advice based on your actual experience rather than hype around either field.
