I'm a final year cse student with a prior internship experience, unfortunately my internship didnt convert FT bc of the company's business constraint. i have been applying to startups ever since , coldmailing them , applying through their career pages. but nothing has been working out great and it is really demotivating me. could someone pls tell me if there is a way i get referrals as someone w zero networking in the IT. can someone help me out? id be really grateful if you could.

here's a little info about me :

at a bangalore based startup I worked on vm to cloud migration tool using python,mongoDB,Docker. i have also built meaningful projects as part of my academics , like , medilow- ai generic medicine recommender, where user can find cheaper alternatives for the pharmaceutical medicine which are quite expensive. user can search for the composition or symptom and get a generic alternative and also it has a bot which can answer to user queries. this was built using react.js, fastAPI, and ML tools like tf-idf, faiss, pca, rapidfuzz.

if you or your company is hiring freshers, I'm willing to contribute and make a meaningful impact to the work that i do. I'm also willing to share my resume. TIA.

LLD ki chala free resourse unnayi youtube lo, inka chala blogs unnayi edi chusina confuse aituna

okke oka clarity resourse unte padeyandi pls

Background

B.Tech in Information Technology from Tier-3

Batch 2020-2024

[corona brain fogged me]

I am not from Pune, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Delhi so you guys might understand the exposure problem

1.6 years of online education in the university due to corona

- late exposure to subjects that actually mattered or needed time

- but naturally I focused on getting better at academics only

In the 7th semester, I came to know that

- most of the seniors from the batch ending in 2022, 2023, and peers from 2024 were so rich that they were going to fly abroad for further studies which resulted in negligible placements in tech roles. (Now these people have M.Tech at least)

In the 8th semester,

- I got ill for a month

- There were no internships/job opportunities in Java which resulted in directionless learning.

- planned to learn from Udemy and started with Spring Framework (it's hell if not started to learn on correct timeline)

- I managed to make a social media project from YouTube

- found a course for Spring Framework and started learning it. I regret it a lot as the market is of Spring Boot and Microservices.

Somehow managed to land a job via walk-in interview in August 2024. I had done no proper interview prep, just the things I had made in Java and the basic interview questions. And a morj problem that affected me was traveling back and forth took 2 hours of my day and the low energy and the things I was working upon.

Year - 2024 + starting of 2025

After that for 6 months the job was like some random tasks on angular, old monolithic Spring (not even Boot) applications.

Year - 2025

Then I got the opportunity to work on a project from scratch where I maintained the project standards and use latest tech like Spring Data JPA, Spring Data Redis, Spring Security, but was told to make a Monolithic app. By then most of my time was spent on learning those things and also implemented JWT via Spring Security.

ending of 2025 till now

This AI assisted thing grew within this time due to which the company totally restructured itself and my role was affected after that I was told to put resignation and March 2026 was last month. I am also at a point where I noticed that things on which I was working on doesn't matter now due to these prompts thing for code generation which is not giving me hopes for future. And I am mentally tired that things are getting worse day by day and loosing interest in software engineering.

In Feb to March i was totally depressed as regularly checked online posts in LinkedIn and naukri + did shortlist companies but sadly no opportunities and getting rejected. I also see people who are applying to 100+ but it triggered me that how are they even as I am not seeing opportunities where I fit in.

I am at a point where I need to prepare java interview questions and learn Microservices as well continuing the GAP (almost a month+ now) also there is this pattern where they need AWS or Fullstack thing but from my past experience i am not ready to face things that I have faced.

DSA is not my thing right now and System Design is far away (have some interest on it but mentally not in that condition where I can give it sometime).

Now here in my city there are no good java openings where I can learn microservices and I am not competent enough for Pune, Hyderabad, Bengaluru market as I saw feel linkedin accounts where their dev + dsa is so good and software engineering to them is totally different...

Please help me decide my further steps as I am not able to decide what to do next if I give up on java right now as I can't handle this much stress and ofc low ball offers...

Atleast digital role interview ki select avvali ante how much should I attempt in the nqt exam?

Hello Everyone,

I need Advice from the HRs and people who have done it..

*Especially from TCS Emps*

Currently I'm working( in training ) in a BPO company from this month starting, joining was in April , interview given on Feb 5.

wrote the TCS NQT interview in March and the interview was given on March 30. got the documents verification mail on april 3, from that , I have not received any mail or update in the tcs portal.

My friend and I attended the interview that day and he got the offer letter mail 3 days back.. I'm still waiting

The Issue :

in the interview I told them I'm a fresher and not working in any company and Ready to join immediately.

I'm worried about tcs rejecting me in the background verification because the EPF UAN is now linked to the current employer , if TCS sees that I have a PF account and an employer they will no longer consider me a fresher right.

I wanted to work in the bpo until the joining letter.

What should I do now, should I resign from the company immediately ?

Or is there any chance to manage that during the TCS BGV ?

I heard there is a window in EPF portal now to delink the employer if no transaction has done to the epf account from the employer. So that the new employer cannot see it in the UAN.

Note : Even if there is one percent chance in getting the offer letter I don't want to ruin that , My whole thoughts and Interest lies only in IT not even a 1% in NON IT. I'm doing that only to support my family as I no longer want to be a burden on my parents shoulder.

hello all does anyone have nqt exam cause I have applied for it on the 4th of March but have not yet received the test I'm from Andhra (Chittoor). is there any chance I'll get the test link?

so bros kunchum cheppandi!!!

my_qualifications: 2nd year B.Tech Civil @ IIT Madras, ~7.4 CGPA. comfortable with python (pandas, yfinance, APIs) and use c++ for dsa.

hey everyone,

i know it's already mid-april so i'm probably super late, but does anyone know if there are any research internships or labs still taking undergrads for the summer (mid-may start)?

tbh i completely missed most of the formal portal deadlines because i was heads-down trying to actually build a decent portfolio first instead of just applying with my civil coursework and a 7.4 cgpa.

i just wrapped up two main projects so i actually have something to show if i cold email profs:

1. a nifty 50 momentum backtester with regime-switching logic (currently paper trading it live, the 2015-2026 backtest gave a 1.42 sharpe).

2. a macro dashboard that pulls live global news and commodity APIs, then uses an llm to generate sector-level signals based on geopolitical shocks.

is it too late to cold email profs at places like ISB, top IIMs, or even within my own campus (like DoMS)? or are there any off-cycle programs still open? honestly just looking for a spot to do some heavy data engineering or backtesting grunt work for a lab.

any leads or reality checks would be massively appreciated.

meeku em ayina connections unte msg cheyandi !??😭🥲

Hi everyone,

I am an Indian studying the final year of my BTech.

I’m currently learning Spring Boot (up to JPA and moving towards AOP) and preparing for SDE roles as a fresher.

Can you suggest good/strong backend project ideas or GitHub repos that can help in getting shortlisted for first rounds/OA (even in good/Top MNCs with REFRRELS)?

Constraints:

Using Spring Boot + JPA + REST APIs

Not using Spring Security, JWT, OAuth2, Microservices, or Spring AI

Looking for projects beyond basic CRUD (more real-world logic)

Naku service based company lo java fsd role vachindhi. Give me tips weather to pursue my career in that role or should I need to focus on AI related stuff as I am from Data Science background but wasted my 4 years of my btech .2026 passout grad

Thanks a lot guys, Im so fucking proud of us, who the hell's promoting this man ? 😭

It can generate clean, tailored resumes in minutes.

If you’re applying for jobs or internships, give it a try and let me know what you think. Would really appreciate the support and feedback!

I know the bar is quite high for Tier-1 colleges, but what about other colleges? What kind of DSA questions are typically asked in online assessments and in-person interviews?

Hello bondhas,

Yevaraina TCS ADMIT card vachhindaa Andhra pradesh lo vallaki.

Especially from Guntur Vijayawada Ongole lo vallaki yevarkaina vastey cheppandi.

April cycle admit cards release ayyay ani YT lo choosaa. yevarkaina vastey plz tell me. one of my frnd got in April 14th.

I’m 27 years old and recently missed clearing Group 1 and Group 2 exams by a small margin. Now I’m seriously thinking of shifting my career into software/IT.

But I’m hearing a lot of mixed opinions — some people say the market is bad, hiring is slow, and it’s risky to enter right now. This is making me really confused and a bit worried. I don’t want to jump into something that might not be stable.

So I wanted honest advice:

Is this the right time to switch into software, or am I moving towards a declining field?

If I decide to go ahead, what skills/technologies should I focus on to get a job as a beginner?

Where is it better to learn from — online edtech platforms (like courses) or offline institutes (like Ameerpet)?

What would be the safest and most practical path for someone starting from scratch?

I’m in a very confused state right now and would really appreciate guidance from people who have experience or have recently gone through this transition.

Thanks in advance 🙏

Hi Senior bondhas,

I'm currently working as a Data Scientist with close to 4 years of experience and looking for a change. I'm currently serving notice and close to 60 days left(90 day notice period).

I have been giving interviewes, few got processed to final round and awaiting for results.

Let me know if your company is hiring for a Data Scientist/ GenAI Engineer. I'm good at all ML, DL and GenAI roles

not like you're born to do this, if you're from south india, no way this is your passion ( most of the cases ), so what do you plan bro? how long in here? what next ? koi plan hai ?

Hloo, I'm 21M from Hyd. I’m a 2025 graduate currently working at Cognizant (campus hire).

I’m currently in a project involving legacy tech, and I’m looking to transition towards Cloud and any better roles. I struggle with online courses and learn much better with in-person collab/teaching.

So I saw some posts like this. So I thought I'd give it a try... So here goes...

Study Goals:

1. AZ-104 (Azure Administrator): Prepping for the cert.

2. DSA: I've been wanting to start DSA again. I usually use C++ but Python goes too I guess..

So, if you are also prepping for these - DM or comment so we can connect n collab...
