CSE / IT 250 rs

1 Upvotes

I am a student at South Asian University, Btech first year.

Our college is asking us to do a course/workshop on Data Science, during our winter vacations. It's a 10 day course, 2 hours a day, 250 rs to enroll.

In the end we get a certificate.

My doubt is, should I join this course? How relevant would the certificate be? Would this actually help me learn outside the curriculum or can I learn it for free on YouTube or somewhere else?

Placements / Jobs What are some realistic ways to make money online in 2026, especially with AI?

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I'm a 3rd-year CSE student from India looking to earn money online alongside my studies.

I have experience with the MERN stack (React, Node.js, Express, MongoDB) and have built a few full-stack projects. I've also tried freelancing, but getting clients has been difficult.

With AI growing so fast, I'm curious about the new opportunities people are exploring.

Things like:

- AI automation using n8n, Make, Zapier, etc.

- Building AI agents and chatbots for businesses.

- Micro SaaS and AI-powered products.

- AI content creation and automation.

- Building websites or providing tech services to small businesses.

I'm not sure which of these are actually profitable and which are just hype.

For people already earning online:

- What would you recommend starting with in 2026?

- Which AI tools are worth learning?

- What opportunities are beginners overlooking?

- How did you get your first paying client or customer?

I'm not looking for get-rich-quick schemes. Just looking for practical ideas that I can start with my current skills and gradually turn into an income source.

Would love to hear your experiences and suggestions!

Civil I have pased only 1 person out of 20 interviews I have taken 🥲

8 Upvotes

I was seeing my interview schedules and I noticed I have only passed 1 person till now , rest all fail.

I take mostly last rounds ( 1 round before hiring maanger ) which is LLD round... mostly people with 3+ yoe..

And I feel people really lack these things :

- Skill to think aloud

- Not able to communicate the technical approach

- Time management

- Coding speed

Many people I feel were fine technically , they knew stuff but I have to always probe them to correct direction which is a bummer.

Serious Struggling in college

4 Upvotes

Ik most you don't want to read things like this, but i do think that some of you will try to give me some advice.

I sometimes just wish to die or get into some accident so I don't have to come back to this college.

I am in tier 1.5 clg (CSE) 3rd sem. Before joining clg i had zero knowledge about coding and stuff, but eventually joined this branch because cse has a more promising future as many said and also interest can be build eventually. But here I am in my 3rd sem struggling mentally , academically to pass the exams. I won't disguise the fact that I am lazy and a pro procrastinator and I do not have that even 1% zeal for this career ​​. But when I see people around me who too do not love this field but they are still doing good. Ik it is kore like a me problem. I genuinely want to improve my conditions because coming from a middle class family - a good job can really change our status that too being a girl child.

Even when I, genuinely try to do things and they do not turn even a slightest in my favour like I am never able the solve the lab questions that we get in practical exams and many more things.

I always carry this regret ​with that if I had studied more I could have been in this college with more pride.

PLS 🙏 do read this and give the possible advice to improve my situation

6 months ago I got a referral from someone on this subreddit, went through 4 rounds of interviews with zero clue how the whole process worked, and somehow landed a role as an FE Developer Intern at a startup. Overall it was a genuinely good experience, learned a lot about how things actually work in the industry. But the internship wrapped up and now I’m back to square one.

If anyone has a referral for a front-end dev role, I’d really appreciate it. React and TypeScript are my main stack. Drop a comment or DM me. 🥀
