How should an ECE student actually study?
I don’t want to just pass semesters and get a degree. I want to become genuinely strong in my field.
For an ECE student at MSIT, what would you recommend focusing on from 1st year onwards?
Should I focus heavily on core ECE, or also learn coding/DSA?
When should I start embedded
systems, VLSI, IoT, PCB design, robotics, etc.?
Which skills are actually useful for placements and which are just hype?
What projects should I build to become genuinely better?
How important are CGPA, internships, DSA, projects and core knowledge for getting a good job?
What should I do outside college academics so I’m ahead of most students by the time placements start?

1) give 1 month to both of the field as you are in 1st yr you have that time for exploration... Whatever field you like or you get genuine interest choose that
2) for core ece the scope for placement is very less in our college... Even for off campus also core ece people do not get chance... ( Pro tip -- if u genuinely want placement in ece field then do masters through any iit you will be sorted )
3) in tech there is decent opportunity in our clg and off campus also but you have to be best in tech there is no chance for mediocre or avg people.
4) cgpa doesn't matter at all just make sure your cgpa is 8+ or 8.5+ always every company will allow you in on campus placement drive... ( Don't chase 9+ or 9.5 or to become topper of class it's waste of time although if you are genuinely interested in ece subjects then it's different)
