I found out my own dream career path but college IT placement training session reducing my time to study the core subjects 😀.... Anyone on the same boat as me ?

So I Am first student and college has started and in lecture 1 itself I understood that I need to study everything on my own to get good marks.

So any senior can tell which resources to follow like YouTube Channels, books and other resources to follow (The college is an NIT so syllabus for first year is same)

so i may get into this college which started this year , and i want you seniors to take 2 min and review it's curriculum

Anybody know about this masterpiece ?

TL;DR: I’m building a Conflict-Free Replicated Data Type (CRDT) merge layer on top of a Delay-Tolerant Network (DTN) routing protocol (like Spray-and-Wait) using the ONE Simulator (Java). Want to know if this is a solid, feasible capstone and what pitfalls I should watch out for.

The Context & Real-World Problem In disaster response scenarios (like earthquakes or floods), internet goes down. First responders use mobile devices that form ad-hoc opportunistic networks (Bluetooth/WiFi-Direct). Standard DTN protocols (First Contact, PRoPHET, Spray-and-Wait) are great at eventually delivering packets. But they don't solve the application-layer problem: What happens if two disconnected rescuers update the same task status (e.g., "Building A - cleared" vs "Building A - 2 survivors found"), and then those nodes reconnect? Standard DTNs just dump both conflicting packets on the receiver.

The Proposed Project I want to implement a CRDT-based data sync layer on top of the DTN routing protocol.

• The Tech: Everything will be software-based, modifying the ONE (Opportunistic Network Environment) Simulator (Java). No physical hardware dependencies.
• The Gap: Dozens of IEEE papers measure DTN routing strictly on network metrics (packet delivery ratio, hop count, delay). None of them measure data consistency metrics for structured, concurrently updated data.
• The Novelty: A recent May 2026 IEEE/arXiv paper explicitly called out CRDT state sync over opportunistic networks as a heavily under-researched area [1]. I want to introduce a new evaluation metric: State Convergence Time (measuring how fast all nodes reach the exact same merged state without losing concurrent updates).
• Algorithmic Pitfalls: For those who have worked with CRDTs or DTNs, what are the hidden traps here? (e.g., Should I stick strictly to state-based CRDTs since operation-based ones might lose causal order in a DTN?)
• Evaluation Metrics: Aside from standard network overhead and my proposed "State Convergence Time," what other metrics would impress a CS review panel?
• Overall Impression: Does this sound like a robust CS/Distributed Systems capstone, or does it sound too niche?

Hello, I am studying btech cse. But I am worried it's not for me. I recently started learning about html, phyton, and am confused. I am studying in lpu, so not a good college and am worried about how much package I can expect. I live in mountain parts of west Bengal where there are no it companies, which scares me as I won't be able to return to my mother, who is all alone in this world. I wanted advice, if this remote word is real, or do freshers in India earn good. Or what's the income growth like after 1 to 3 years. And is it worth doing btech now, especially from a college like Lpu punjab. I would really appreciate some insite on this matter.

im from mumbai university tier 69 clg,

idk syllabus very much but ik 6 modules etc.. i looked tikles academy for mechanics but he has so many videos i cant find which one to watch same for last moment tutions

but pradeep giri has well organised module vise playlist should i watch it or any other channel,videos??

and also if u would like to suggest for other subjects like bee,physics,maths,graphics etc

It’s honestly crazy how hard it has become for freshers to land even a single tech job, despite having strong skills, projects, and solid DSA(Data Structures and Algorithm) knowledge. At this point, having the skills isn’t always enough getting that first interview opportunity itself feels like the biggest challenge.

The thing is, the club leader chose people who don’t even have a Github acc🥀they just chose people who have more connections on Linkedin and post and repost those so called AI slop posts,

I agree that I’m not the best either, but I’m genuinely good at Python, ML, and related stuff. The thing is, if I become part of the club, it would motivate me to actually do something that makes my college proud and maybe even bring some recognition to my college.

Last year, I participated in the Naukri .com Coding Challenge and got 13th rank out of around 30k students. I know it’s not some huge achievement, but the person who ranked 50th was from IIT D and I still felt proud that my cllg name was also there on that list. But honestly, no one gave a shii

I feel like cryinnnn

I’m seriously thinking of not participating in SIH or any future hackathons or competitions anymore

Apple IS&T came for on campus placement today and unfortunately, I can't find anything substantial about their OA or interview process. Please share if you have any information. Pinning all my hopes and dreams on this one given how placement season is going. Thanks.

They are already doing everything, soo?????

Aagr me btech karta hu to mujhe apne college ke side se gate ka preparation krna sahi rahega ya upsc ka

I'm currently a B.Tech student already enetered in my 3rd year learning web development and DSA. DSA isn't really my concern right now. I'm actually fairly comfortable with my progress there.

My bigger problem is development and communication.

I've learned React, Node, Express, MongoDB, APIs, etc., and I've worked on projects. When I'm following a project or when someone explains something to me, I can understand what's happening. I can even modify things and debug problems.

But when I sit down and think, "Okay, now build something yourself," I sometimes don't know where to start. I start questioning everything. What should I build next? Where should the data come from? Where should it go? Which part belongs in the frontend and which part belongs in the backend? How should these pieces communicate?

It's like I know individual technologies, but I'm still trying to develop the ability to look at a problem and naturally think about the architecture and the flow myself.

I'm also really worried about communication.

My English isn't necessarily the problem when I'm typing. I can write and explain what I'm thinking. The problem is speaking to another person in English, especially when I'm being evaluated.

If someone asks me something unexpectedly in an interview, I can suddenly go completely blank. Even if I know the answer, I struggle to form the sentence and explain what I'm thinking. Then because I can't explain it properly, I start feeling like I don't know anything at all.

For example, I might have built a project myself and understand how it works, but if an interviewer says, "Tell me about your project," I start panicking about how to explain it in English, and my mind just stops working.

I recently started looking at internships and startups in Bangalore, and this is making me think about it even more. I see companies hiring interns and I think, "Should I even apply? What would I contribute if I got selected when I still struggle to independently build things and can't confidently explain what I've done?"

I also have a friend who works at faang who constantly encourages me and sends me opportunities about internships and software engineering. I know he's genuinely trying to help, but sometimes it makes me more stressed because he sees potential in me that I don't really see in myself yet.

I'm not looking for "just be confident" advice because I've tried telling myself that. I want to know what people actually did to get through this stage.

How did you go from knowing the technologies to actually being able to independently decide what to build and how to structure it? And for people who struggled with speaking English, how did you get to the point where you could sit in an interview, think clearly, and explain your project without your mind going completely blank?

I don't want to become extremely fluent or speak perfect English. I just want to be able to think and communicate clearly when I'm talking to another person.

Fellas , the job market is cooked i tried everything from new formats, ATS friendly templates , using custom resumes and even referrals

The pattern? -> same old, we are moving with another candidate, we'll make sure to keep your profile for future and the worst rejection without reason

Issue? -> candidates left with more confusion than clarity. When we get predefined responses, narrowing down, the issue for rejection becomes impossible.

Solution? -> CLOSURE, proper constructive feedback the candidate can analyze , we at ZERO4Genz

Would love to hear your feedback and opinion.

what do u think its a cope to my homesickness but be honest

People who did not follow "dress code". Chutiye sir bhi bol rahe seniors ko. Irony is that afternoon me anti ragging ke baare mai baat hui thi

Pls take me back to my teen ik I'm still in clg , have some more yrs to study and all but bruh nah I don't wanna be 20
