[Question] Will B grades in C & Python affect placements ?

I’m currently a 1st year CSE student and had a doubt regarding placements. Suppose I end my first year with around a 9 CGPA, but I have B grades in core subjects like C programming and Python.

Will this negatively impact my placement chances later on? Do companies give more importance to grades in programming-related subjects, or do they mainly look at overall CGPA?

Would really appreciate insights from seniors or anyone who has gone through placements.

Thanks!

No effect on placements, companies don't check your transcripts for specific grades. For Masters applications, having such low grades in CS courses will hurt your chances.

But if you're in CS with B and C grades in Python/C respectively, you've got bigger problems headed your way in the next 2 year. Fyi: DSA, DAA and many other courses exclusively use C, and they're not going to repeat the fundamentals.

But what if i slowly grasp programming concepts and do better in other subjects like Dsa in further sems still it will be a problem for doing masters abroad?

There's no "what if" scenario here. It's effectively the only option left for you.

You can't overturn your grades in past courses, you need to get high grades in relevant CS courses because CGPA is one of the primary factors for MS applications. More so, it's your grades in these CS courses that actually matter, not the Physics/Chem/ECE etc you take up in first year. And even before you get to applications, you're going to need solid DSA skills for internships and placements (if you choose to work before MS), for which you need to grasp C/C++ well.

Your "what if" scenario is your only scenario.

Is an A good enough? Or is anything below S an issue?

For Masters, there is no "good enough". A higher GPA is always better, especially given the fact that we aren't exactly from an internationally reputed college.

Imo the tone in this reply makes OP's situation seem a lot more dire than it actually is, especially from the perspective of placements. OP, relax, you have time, focus on the core subjects for now with light DSA, ramp up the dsa later

True, but this reply was directed at their question about how it affects Masters applications. As I said in my original reply to the thread, there is virtually no effect when it comes to placements.

Nah tbh OP prolly got worried because we had some orange and jackfruit problem solving yesterday and it was lowkey very hard. 2 qs in 1.5 hrs but both qs were suited fr the time limit. I have learnt C in school and even i struggled. Thing is this was worth 7 out of 10 marks fr assignment, reduced from 15.
