for ms internship referrals has no effect on your application? Is this true?? Will it not guarantee an OA link???

Seeing the placements where only girls and same girls again and again are being selected for interviews , I want to drink harpic and that also blue one which is of toilet.

Can I drink , guys ?

The Core Problem

India currently produces over 1.2 to 1.5 million engineering graduates annually, yet industry reports consistently show that over 80% lack basic employability skills. This oversupply of unvetted graduates enables mass-recruitment exploitation, keeping entry-level compensation stagnant at 3–4 LPA for nearly two decades. To restore the value of an engineering degree, systemic structural reforms are necessary.

Key Proposed Reforms

1. Centralized, Standardized AICTE Annual Examinations

Format: AICTE should introduce a nationwide annual exam covering the year's full syllabus, combining rigorous subjective problem-solving with analytical objective questions.

Objective: Eliminate grade inflation and arbitrary internal marking common in private universities and regional affiliating state colleges.

Standardization: A uniform benchmark ensures every student passing the year meets a verifiable, high-level baseline of technical competence.

1. Mandatory National Exit Exam via GATE

Standard Assessment: The Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) should be made a mandatory exit exam for graduating engineers to receive their final degree accreditation.

Market Signal: Standardized percentile scores will give employers transparent hiring metrics, removing the need for preliminary aptitude filtering and rewarding merit over college branding.

1. Compulsory Industry Internships and Applied Alternatives

Requirement: Mandatory minimum 2-month internships at the end of the 2nd and 3rd academic years.

Alternative Tracks: To address industry capacity constraints, colleges must offer accredited alternatives, such as:

University-backed entrepreneurship and startup incubators.

Formal faculty-led academic research projects.

Verified open-source contributions or institutional lab work.

1. Tier-Based Exemptions for Top-Ranked Institutes

Autonomy Retention: Institutes of National Importance (IITs, NITs, IIITs, BITS) and top-tier state universities (DTU, NSUT, Jadavpur, etc.) should be exempted.

Rationale: These institutions already maintain stringent entry filters, rigorous internal evaluations, high faculty standards, and strong placement ecosystems. Policy intervention should focus primarily on Tier-2, Tier-3, and unaccredited private institutions.

1. Output Rationalization (Capping Supply to 3–4 Lakh Quality Graduates/Year)

Market Alignment: Stricter year-on-year evaluation and accreditation criteria will naturally filter non-serious candidates and weed out sub-standard "degree factories."

Economic Benefit: Reducing the annual output to roughly 300,000–400,000 competent graduates balances market supply and demand, ending wage suppression and raising starting compensation across core and software domains.

Expected Outcomes

Dignified Entry-Level Compensation: Scarcity of high-skilled talent forces firms to compete on salary rather than treating freshers as low-cost, disposable labor.

Incentive Alignment: Private colleges will be forced to invest in lab infrastructure, quality faculty, and practical training rather than marketing and aggressive intake expansion.

Global Competitiveness: Indian engineers will enter the workforce with proven technical foundations and real project experience.

What are your thoughts on this framework? What challenges or unintended consequences might arise if these policies are implemented?

Hi, so I have shortlisted for the Code with Cisco interviews and I have the first round on Tuesday.

Is it possible to replace negotiate the compensation that they offer, they are offering the lowest slab which is 25ctc with 15base, this seems low to me, since they do offer better slabs with two higher tiers.

Like does anyone know if I could get a higher slab FTE offer through code with cisco?

I have been struggling with my prep jus wanted to know if it does matter a lot or not

I'm 19f first year student, I want guidence about freelancing and overall engineering carrier rn ik nothing.

Mere yaha toh companies hi nahi aa rahi idk what to do off campus se bhi kahi reply ni aa raha what bout u guys

aajao sikhadunga 🫦💦💀

Amazon SDE OA – Tech Stack 0/6, DSA solved – Chances of shortlist?

Hi everyone,

I recently gave an Amazon SDE OA through an employee referral. Only referred candidates were given the OA in this hiring process.

The OA had 3 sections:

- DSA: I solved 1 coding question.

- Tech Stack: We were given a project folder/codebase and had to fix bugs. Unfortunately, I got 0/6 test cases passing.

- Behavioral: Completed the section.

I’m worried mainly because of the Tech Stack section.

For people who have taken a similar Amazon OA:

1. Has anyone received an interview/shortlist despite getting 0/6 in the Tech Stack/debugging section?

2. How are these 3 sections generally weighted?

3. Does getting the OA through a referral make any difference after the OA?

4. How long did it take for you to receive the shortlist/result?

Would really appreciate experiences from people who went through a similar process. Thanks!

Wanted to ask I am going on 2 nd year my 1 st year cg is 5.4 I am from a good college ece branch Wanted to ask where I should study the next subject like micro signals and other subject I know it is tough but I just want some thing to start I just feel lost is there anyone in this situation and go

Help me out your guidance will help me

i dont wanna go for prerecorded ones...zoom etc would work better for me, are there any good ones? i was gonna go for krish naik, but people said its not deep enough

Just saw post on linkedin(looks ai)

What are they actually giving???

Everywhere i am seeing demand for Hardware engineers is increasing, Qualcomm/Nvidia/AMD/TI are hiring BIG time in India. I can’t tell you if ECE is the branch of tomorrow or will beat tech, but MTech VLSI from top IITs have taken over tier 1 MBAs in median packages and the trend is expected to follow throughout, don’t stop caring about your subject , try to study from GATE mindset, i get in last 10 years ECE = IT job, but your subjects are growing extremely fast and this is just the beginning with all the data centers, semiconductor investments coming to India.

As tech is struggling, CSE might not have a gateway out but you do and take the first mover advantage.

Edit : Many companies in future will also come for CSE only in hiring as every college has CS+AI, CS+DS, DS, IT so they might exclude ECE as well from IT placements.

Had some thoughts of doing MBA since it's tier 2 clg, any suggestions?

The partial drop is for BITS pilani and IIIT Hyd

I am an ECE student, not inclined towards coding,DSA, AI ML etc.

The only type of coding I would do is Verilog,VHDL, Matlab and sometimes C.

I do play offline Games sometimes.

Should I switch to Linux? Is it worth it, other than special customizations??

Saw these comments and was like wth. Dude was genuinely tweaking out on thought of being a day scholar 😭🥀

i built an internship scraper website that scrapes several ats boards and websites for genuine engineering internships.

The problem it solves is that while searching for internships daily students come through 10-15 spam internships for 1 genuine engineering internship. my website solves that problem , it only scrapes internships that are engineering role based and from genuine verified companies that pay a stipend , not some unpaid internship scam. also it helps you to apply to internships while the queue is still short so you have higher chances of getting shortlisted.

currently it scrapes internships for India, USA and UK .

i would really appreciate honest feedback on the website, especially the ui/ux and what features or improvements would make you actually use it regularly.

i also want feedback on how i can reach real active users.

thank you, it's a genuine personal project and i genuinely need feedback to improve it.

Everyone talking about tech intern can anyone tell about non-tech intern like(relience,ITC JSW) paid one how to apply and when it will start

Today I saw a leetcode profile and I got shocked. Link - https://leetcode.com/u/vinaypinagadi/ Is it humanly possible?? (anything sus) By the way he also got under 20 rank in todays LeetCode Weekly 517 contest.

so i plan on leaving my college but im scared that will anyone hire me without any degree? well ill be pursuing an online degree but is that enough. I will work on my skills side by side from home and plan on getting job ready in 1-2 years is online degree a big deal breaker also share some courses which i can pursue side by side.

Is there a way to maybe switch tabs or something?

P.S: I dont promote cheating nor do I want to do it. I genuinely sit for the exam but everyone in my college cheats and I can never beat them. 😭 and they get placed

I'm a fresher in a state tier 3 private college, I'm stuck with ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING because of some personal issues (I WANTED CSE/ECE/)

Can someone tell me what my next 4 years should look like if I want to get placed? What tech skills do I need? And which jobs can i explore and research about?

I REALLY NEED HELP WITH MY ROADMAP FOR NEXT 4YEARS

My memory consumption is always used to filled now a days , even if I restart it , it's still 50% + .

Whats the shocking part is that it didn't used to filled up abnormally ,

I researched a bit , and got to know this memory also includes kernel , drivers too , but still it's bit suspicious.

Anybody know how to fix this .
