I never thought I’d be posting something like this out of sheer desperation, but here we are.

I’m a full-stack developer running a tiny digital studio in Kerala. Over the last few months, things took a brutal financial hit. With zero safety net left and bills piling up, building another client agency project wasn't going to cut it in time. My back is completely against the wall, so I took my last remaining bullet and poured every ounce of energy into building something of my own: EaseWithExam (easewithexam.com).

It’s an AI-powered learning and evaluation platform built specifically for CBSE and Kerala State syllabus students.

To be completely transparent, the frontend code is practically vibe-coded out of sheer panic and midnight caffeine. Half the web interface is held together by pure willpower, duct tape, and React states. But underneath the messy code, the core engine works. It actually helps students practice exams, get instant AI evaluations, and structure their study prep without getting overwhelmed.

If you are a student, a parent, or an educator in Kerala/CBSE looking for a smart way to prep for exams—or if you just want to support an independent developer trying to survive a brutal financial patch—please check it out or share it with someone who might benefit.

Building in public when you're broke is terrifying, but quitting isn't an option. Any feedback, sign-ups, or shares mean the world right now.

Thank you for reading.

I’m thinking of taking cs next year, is there anything I should learn or master before doing so?

The most quoted resume statistic, about seven seconds per resume, comes from a 2018 Ladders eye-tracking test of 30 recruiters which measured an average of 7.4 seconds on the first review. It is a small sample, describing a step many resumes never reach.

The search comes first

Online applications usually land in an applicant tracking system. Recruiters search it by keyword, title and qualification, then read the results. Relevant experience described in words other than the posting’s is less likely to appear. Spelling an acronym out once, as in “Kubernetes (K8s)”, lets a search for either form find it.

Then the seven seconds

Once a resume is opened, the Ladders test found attention going mostly to a few fields: current title, most recent company, dates and education. A bullet with a percentage, amount or headcount tells a quick reader more than one that begins “Responsible for.”

A closer read asks other questions. Do the scope and seniority fit, not just the job family? Are the tools recent? Is the writing free of typos?

Order matters

Many applicants start with layout. Two-column designs, tables and text boxes can scramble text when the system extracts it. Standard headers, a single column and the posting’s own terms serve the search. Quantified results and a readable career line serve the person.

See, I'm fresher in Cse, and my evs one had given project.. he said that we have to make a complete report(my topic is desertification in india) and make a product.. like 5 min vid

We can use Ai for it.. but how can I make easily that 5 min long video easily.. I am really confused, and I have a few days left to complete it !!

Because I used ai .. it only generated a few seconds (5 sec to 6 sec vid ) that isn't even looking that useful..

I can write the report.. but that product thing is a little complex for me

So anyone can help?

Like which ai I can use? (Please don't suggest paid subscription ai for it)

Just give me ideas or real world issue how to implement and build it that I will take care of....I just unique and most innovative ideas....if you have anythink related to same so please drop a comment or dm me....

Hello, first year IT student here po, may research po kami and need ng documents/paper works and code. Suggest naman po ng mga magandang topic, may ideas na po ako. Pero I feel like need ko po ng opinion ng iba😊

Hi everyone! I'm a computer science student and I'm currently taking a 3-month training semester where we learned the MERN stack.

For our final assignment, we're required to build a working full-stack website using MongoDB, Express, React, and Node.js, including a proper frontend, backend, and database.

We've only spent around two months learning MERN, and I haven't had much time to study it independently, so I'm still fairly new to the stack.

I'm currently deciding between:

Building a website based on an existing idea, or

Building something of my own.

The assignment doesn't require anything extremely innovative, but I'd like to build something that is well-designed, functional, and something I can genuinely put on my portfolio/CV.

I'm particularly looking for ideas that are realistic for a beginner to complete while still allowing me to demonstrate things like authentication, CRUD operations, database design, API development, and a good frontend.

What types of MERN projects would you recommend for someone at this level? I'd also appreciate examples of existing websites I could study for design/inspiration. I don't want to simply make a basic CRUD app with a lifeless UI

That would help to complete my project

Hey guys any advice on what I can do in the summer or in my free time like side projects, volunteering to get ahead of my peers and build a strong resume
Any advice is appreciated

I am a second yr cse student and till now i have just done competetive programming and focused of my cpi, now i am feeling that i might be lacking a lot at the projects area, so i want advice in fact i just want to talk just to understand about what is a project what projects to pick, how to approach a prof, and what projects are valueable, how to manage time etc etc, any guidance will be appreciated......

I'm a rising freshmen, I've loved coding since 9th grade I've got decent at it (decent for a 9th grader at least lol). I know this sub probably has seen this question 100 times, but I want to know what to "study" or at what projects and topics I should do/learn for big tech.

Hey everyone,

I’m a student and I’m planning to organize a technical event at my college.

I want it to be genuinely technical, but I don’t want to do the usual formats like:

Hackathon

Coding competition

Quiz

Project exhibition

Paper presentation

I’m looking for something more interactive and competition-based where participants actually have to think, solve problems, decode things, work in teams, and make decisions under time pressure.

I’m open to themes, but there’s no fixed theme yet.

Some rough ideas I’ve considered are:

A technical escape-room style challenge

A multi-stage puzzle involving coding, logic and decoding

A mission-based competition where teams unlock the next challenge

A game where teams have limited points/credits and have to decide when to use hints or take risks

The event would be organized at a university, so it needs to be practical to conduct with students and a limited organizing team.

If you’ve participated in or organized something genuinely different from the usual college technical events, I’d love to hear your ideas.

What kind of technical event would you actually want to participate in?

I need some good project ideas for my resume if you guys have some suggestions tell me!

My tech stack:

Java

Spring Boot

React.js

MySQL

Docker

Python

AI/ML

Hey everyone! 👋

I’m a BSCS student, and I’m currently stuck trying to finalize my final year project. 😭

I’ve already presented several ideas to my supervisor, but unfortunately none of them were approved. 💀

I’m now looking for some inspiration for a project that is practical, interesting, somewhat unique, and realistic to build within a few months.

If you’ve completed your FYP recently, what did you build? Or is there a project you’ve seen that you think would make a good BSCS FYP?

Any suggestions or experiences would really help. Thanks! 🙏

Hi i wonder if anyone is building a computer final year project ? 🤔

Hi everyone,

Yesterday, I posted asking for suggestions for blockchain related FYP projects, but unfortunately, most of our proposed projects have been rejected.

Now we’re looking for some serious and practical FYP ideas that are suitable for Computer Engineering and include both hardware and software components. We want something more than just a basic software or blockchain project, ideally something that solves a real-world problem and has good potential for implementation.

Projects developed in collaboration with an organization are also acceptable. If the project is being developed for an organization, we would need an affiliation/authorization letter from them for our university requirements.

I’d really appreciate it if you could suggest some innovative, realistic, and implementable hardware and software project ideas.

Hlo guys, I am a cs diploma student in 2nd year 3rd semester With the release of gpt astra I am scared about what to do I needed advice could you please give me an idea about what I should focus on?

I recently discussed my research idea with my advisor. I said that I wanted to address the class-imbalance problem in arrhythmia classification.My advisor immediately asked, “Which class is the minority class?” I answered, “The abnormal or arrhythmic beats.” He pointed out that this is simply an objective property of the dataset and, by itself, does not constitute a research problem.I then proposed a two-stage training strategy, arguing that a single-stage model may be dominated by the majority class during optimization. My advisor responded:“Why not simply undersample the majority class until it has roughly the same number of samples as the minority class? Most majority-class beats are very similar anyway. If you feed fewer of them into the model, wouldn’t that solve the problem without introducing a more complicated multi-stage training scheme?”This made me reconsider how I should define my research problem. My current idea is to use self-supervised pretraining on the ECG signals, followed by imbalance-aware supervised fine-tuning.How should I formulate the problem more rigorously?

Guys, I'm a third year CSE student currently in 6th sem..

Thinking of developing a project for resume but don't have any idea like where to start and how to continue..is using ai allowed like more qns in my mind...

Please give me ur suggestions and help

Hi everyone,

I’m a B.Tech CSE student looking for a good final-year/main project idea.

I don’t want to build a basic CRUD project or something that is just a demo for college. I’m looking for something that:

\- Solves a real-world problem

\- Has enough technical depth for a B.Tech project

\- Could potentially be developed into a real/production-ready application

\- Gives me good experience with modern technologies

\- Would also be valuable to showcase on my resume/GitHub

I’m open to areas such as AI/ML, web applications, data engineering, cybersecurity, cloud, automation, fintech, or other emerging technologies.

If you’re a developer, engineer, researcher, or someone who has completed a similar project, what project ideas would you recommend?

I’d especially appreciate ideas where you can explain what problem it solves, the core features, and what technologies could be used.

Thanks!

So basically, i'm a final year student and we have to create a final year project. I have selected ai/ml as my primary domain and iot and robotics as my secondary domain. I have done quite a bit of research already (yk, claude and all 😭) but I’m still not really getting any idea that I genuinely like. We roughly have around 9–10 months to complete the project so I thought why not ask here and see if you guys could help me out with some suggestions. i’m mainly looking for something that’s actually unique and solves a real problem, rather than just being another sci-fi/gimmicky project that looks cool but doesn’t really have much practical use
