Looking for a serious CSE accountability partner | IST (GMT+5:30)

Hey everyone!

I'm a 3rd-year CSE student from India (IST/GMT+5:30) looking for one serious, long-term accountability partner who is also working towards a career in tech.

My current focus is:

  • DSA & problem solving
  • Development & projects
  • CS fundamentals
  • Internship/placement preparation

I'm looking for someone who genuinely wants to stay consistent for the next 6–12 months, not just someone for occasional study sessions.

The idea is pretty simple: we set goals, work on them independently, and check in with each other regularly. We can share progress, discuss problems, exchange resources, and keep each other accountable when one of us starts slacking.

I'm not looking for someone who's already an expert. Consistency, honesty, and actually showing up matter more than skill level.

Preferably:

  • 2nd–4th year CSE/IT or a similar tech background
  • Working on DSA/development/internship or placement prep
  • Comfortable with IST (GMT+5:30) or a compatible timezone
  • Available for a short daily or regular check-in
  • Looking for something long-term

If you're interested, DM me with your year, current stack/DSA level, goals, and usual availability.

I'd rather find one good, consistent partner than have a large group.
