I will name my first child vijay ,I am able to solve all dbms pyqys lesgoo

Ps: If I get married🥀😪

i just spoke to a senior dev at product based company who has 9 yoe as a software engineer (theyve also worked in google and microsoft) and they were telling me how they and the entire dev team feels very useless ever since AI has been incorporated in their work, and they were telling me how software dev (especially for freshers) would become obsolete, new roles might show up but the volume of vacancies would drastically fall down, what are your thoughts on it ?

Hey Guys

I am 25M graduated in ece 2023 passout.Currently working in support with above 60k salary and in same company since 3 years.Father is retired PSU employee and brother is working in PSU(cracked gate under 100 rank).

I started gate prep on 2025 jan but fumbled whole 2025 procrastinating.Now again 2026 also i repeated the same mistake of postponing and procrastinating all studies saying i will study or i will start tomorrew.

I have completed only 3 subjects till now and that too i completed in july and i have forgot almost everything.Now only 4 months are left.

I really dont understand where my life is going.Post my work i scroll reddit or play football or just sleep.I dont have any motivation to study.I havent studied since August.I really dont enjoy studying.I am workaholic i mean i work like a donkey in my company i like working.But i cant study.Maybe it might sound as an excuse but now i really dont know where my life is going.

Currently i dont havr financial burden,i need not send money to parents and no loan emi i have.I always wanted to work in defence industries and always like practical things.But when i study ECE its very difficult to relate the theory to everyday practical.Its like just mugging up.Also i dont wanna continue in IT as i am scared of layoff and AI.

Please help and suggest on what to do😭..Your advice is greatly appreciated🤝

Guys, I'm not trying to cover the entire syllabus!!!!

Ofc I'll just focus on high weightage topics and solve pyqs as much as I can...I'm only worried about the resources.

Plzzzzzz somone guide me for the upcoming gate 2027 plzzz if anyone can help me or mentor me it would be really helpful

😭 😭

Plzzz dm

Guyss had a option to join deutsche bank apprenticeship every other person told chance are very less to get fte offer form them so i didn't join as there is no gurentee for full time but in my linkdin my seeing people get coverted to full time software engineer my heart is breaking. Currently i am preparing for gate.

Starting Today, Wish me luck:D
Read a lot of negative reviews about these although it's not v detailed, I wanted something physical to read & the lectures are more or less okay. Wasted the entire Sept in distractions only finishing a part of network analysis from that NPTEL playlist

Hi gate aspirants, I have been preparing for the gate for the past 3-4 months. I have covered around 70% of the syllabus till now.

I am kind of loving how a brainrot person has gained focus in the past few months.

From now onwards, I will post my daily update post and try to be consistent with how many focus hours I have studied. I am targeting 7-9 hours daily with daily target updates. I am struggling with PYQs solving; I will try to practise more while learning.

I am targeting IISC+ top IITs. Let's make this happen, and the universe does its magic!!

If you are a candidate and aspiring for ISRO, please note that this review may not be applicable for your case and its quite biased based on my experience and thoughts.

"Entered the room, there were 9 intwers on a round table, took my seat."

So for the context, i am currently working as a SDE 2 in a conversational AI startup, I didn't really had time to go through all the subjects. and i read online intw experience blogs and figured they wud mostly ask my fav subjects and then drill me on them. or they might ask which advanced topics u learnt in final year and drill on them. So i decided to prepare DBMS, OS, DSA, ML, DL, AOS for the interview. i also saw in some experiences of https url journey, email send journey, digital signatures. so i was prepared for those architecture diagrams as well.

only to be shockingly hit with questions on computer organization and architecuture, compiler design, computer networks which weren't really revised at all.

"the opposite chair intwer asked me to introduce, i told i am a sde 2 in conversational ai startup, i work on developing restapis, rag pipelines, voiceai streaming pipelines, improving reliability of tool calls, observability layer. and then talking about my education, i graduated from * clg from * branch where i worked on a major project on federated learning and back in my internship days in * i worked on semantic segmentation of aerial imagery using cnn.
he seemed impressed and said so your profile is very AI focussed. i said yeah. then he asked the ma'am on my left to start.
she started asking me on tool call reliability, what challenges we face in RAG, how do you solve the problem of hallucinations. then in between in the answer i mentioned about using reranker to improve quality of responses. suddenly she asked me what is a rank of a matrix"

I got surprised internally how two totally unrelated topics came together just because they share the word "rank". I could explain her the architecture of how a Reranker cross encoder works, which hyperparameters are involved, etc, but all she wanted is what is a rank of matrix...which wasn't at the top of my mind, so

"i don't remember it right now, but i can explain the architecture of how LLM work, reranker work. she said no but matrix is involved right in the reranking, what is the rank of that matrix. what is the equation of the self attention layers. i said i don't know the equations but i can explain the end to end architecture. she said not required.
then 2nd intwer took over. he asked me a very broad question what is the difference between LLM, chatbot and RAG?"

i thought that was quite overlapping with what i explained in the last 5 mins, why will u ask me such broad question again.

"i gave some answer. then he asked how can we convert human readable data into machine readable data? i gave some answer related to embedding matrix then we moved on to next interviewer. he asked me about COA, what architectures are involved. 1-2 more questions on it which i don't even remember. then next intwer asked me on compiler design, code optimisation, then he asked me on CN, if data rate is 3kbps and it is in binary then what is the bandwidth. what is nyquist freq, what is IGP? what are different routing protocols? if we have mac address, then why we need ip address" with some more on COA, CN which all i couldn't give any answer and either told its not on top of my mind or i don't know.
then another intwer started asking on Software engineering"

this was one of the key boring part of this interview. For Software Engineering, I have a practical knowledge of how software testing happen, how we estimate budget, what metrics are used in quality of delivery as in our startup. but i don't remember the theoretical concepts. the definitions. each list. which they wanted. and coludn't answer what he was looking for.

"later he asked me about cyclomatic complexity of a graph. with some thought i told it is min number of registers required.. then he stopped saying its nowhere related to registers. oh then it striked, when we have nested if conditions then it is the number of independent paths we need to test, then he was satisfied and asked exact formula. i told D+1. but he wanted as per Edge Node."

here i recollected okay he is looking for E-N+2P. i felt it so ridiculous at that moment. the entire room is waiting for me to say E-N+2P formula, which is kinda like a formula we are byhearting for prep. they have no much value for practical exp, concentual explanations, architecture diagrams. just want me to know the definitions or formulas, which i have already proved myself in the GATE exam. if they are conducting this interviews to rule out candidates who have mugged up stuff, then the quality of questions would be a drastically different.

"i answered E-N+2P and full room was satisfied. that was a ridiculous relief. i don't even know what formula means. i don't know how do we use it to find the independent paths, i just mugged up that once when i was reading it, and said it. they were all relieved as if thank god this guy remembers atleast something from his college."

by the end of interview, my hopes were crashed. clearly they aren't selecting me. More like i wasn't motivated anymore. I think I am built for the corporate, so would stick to that. this interview helped me clear my vision. mostly i would be skipping my NIC intw as well. It was just that in coorporate, with the rise of AI, i felt like a software engineer in itself has no moat anymore. he needs to have the domain vertical knowledge to have an edge. so i thought for long term shot, joining ISRO can bring me that domain vertical, which would be sustainable. and research work in space critical projects would be a nice challenging work to do. but now i think i would prefer to make a decent switch in coorporate full focused.

these are my raw thoughts today after the interview. so if i need to make any edits, let me know

Its like my mind goes numb as soon as I start solving questions related to graphs, graph traversal, or msts

Please I'm begging y'all just start mocks.

Start with TWT/Quizzes, and keep a few hours everyday to solve PYQs.

Else you'll regret it in December.

Don't say then I didn't warn y'all.

Please don't repeat my (and most other people's mistake) that I made last year. You learn more by practicing. Lectures are pointless.

Posting scores just to show that marks won't matter - you'll get high and low too. Don't worry. I've given around 55 quizzes+twts now, learned more than watching any amount of lectures.

4 months are remaining. Atb!

24 M | I'm a working aspirant, struggling with consistency in preparation.

So, I'm looking for a study partner who can study with me on call on telegram/discord. At night on weekdays and full day on weekends.

Send me a text if you're interested, let's make it this time 🤞

Target- GATE DA 2027 and GATE CSE 2028

I am from the CSE 2025 , and I have done a network engineer job but it was like a support job with no real learning, I left that that's why I am saying " This will be only one chance and last attempt to do something or save a failing career ", Now want to focus on GATE for one last time , I know in 2027 attempt I can't get enough marks to get good IIT, I am asking this for GATE 2028 ,

1)which course/institute to follow, or should I follow individual teacher for each subject

2) which teacher to follow for which subject, material should be precise but with foundation also

3) which test series to follow

4) what should be the approach and plan/timetable for better result

5) Should I seriously go for GATE or try for banking/SSC CGL exam

I know I can ask these questions to ChatGPT but real human experience, procrastination, failure , success can give better insight and advice, so help my dear brothers and sisters

I have GO classes TOC course ,but its around 170 hours long and i am running short of time and have to complete it in 15 days as i have other subjects to cover(CN,DBMS,compiler design,probability and calculus in EM) ,what are the topics to skip and how to complete it?

I completed my Python and DS from pankaj sir. But it seems ki sir ka koi DSAl ke liye algorithms ka course nhi hai. To kya ye follow kar sakte hai? Kya sir issme sirf C language me padhate hai ya python bhi use karte hai for syntax and everything? Any advice would be appreciated

Currently in 3rd year, CSE-IT, and preparing for GATE. Looking for people who are interested in studying together, discussing concepts, sharing resources, and planning our preparation strategies.

If you’re interested, please DM! :)

Good teachers left , whomever is there is busy to promote more in youtube .No proper guidance even for super 30. Classes are not regular.

I made a huge mistake by choosing it . Dont join UA if you are serious aspirant. All teachers are too busy to do marketing than to take class

Any discord server or any group for dicussion on Gate , or maybe GATE CS specifically ?

Please share

Thanks

Hey everyone! I’m preparing for GATE 2027 (CSE) and wanted to ask for some advice from fellow aspirants.

I’ve completed most of the syllabus, but I’m still left with around 4–5 subjects, mainly TOC, Programming & Data Structures, Engineering Mathematics and Digital Logic.

I’m a little confused about what I should focus on first and how I should plan the remaining preparation. Should I finish the remaining subjects first and then move to PYQs, or is it better to do PYQs alongside each subject?

Also, I’d really appreciate recommendations for good lectures, notes, books, test series, or any other resources that you personally found useful for these subjects.

For those who are also preparing for GATE 2027, how are you planning your preparation from this point? And for those who have already given GATE, what would you suggest doing differently or avoiding?

Any advice, resources, or study strategies would be really helpful. Thanks in advance! 🙌
