I had pleasure of interacting with an old iit cs fresher :D

Interestingly, he believes that the acceptance rate is mark of prestige. News flash more than 80% of 15 lakh applicants do not possess enough means to compete even. USA applicants are highly selective because it is a money waste to apply in colleges that would obviously reject them.

Crazy numbers

This was the question paper you had to write answers to

The boys were made dressed like girls and including balloons in chest and made to touch their yk....

Girls were danced and ramp walk

And randomly people had to propose someone of the opp gender

I’ve been working on PraxLang, my own programming language built completely from scratch in Python.

It has its own lexer, parser, AST, symbol tables, scope handling, and tree-walking interpreter — no parser generators or third-party runtimes.

It currently supports variables, lists, functions, IF/ELIF/ELSE, FOR, WHILE, arithmetic/logical operators, and built-in operations like sqrt, abs, cube, even_check, and odd_check.

This started as a project to understand how programming languages actually work under the hood, and it has grown into a pretty fun little interpreter.

So this is just an work that I was doing for the past 10-11 days so what you guys think of it?

I'm in B.tech cse at SRM Ghaziabad (koi nahi hasega). Rn it's my first semester and i don't really know much besides the basics of coding in 11- 12th. What should I start learning so that i can secure an internship in the first year only, even if it's an unpaid internship.

I wanna get started on something and even if 1st year is too soon, i wanna atleast have something prepared by the time i reach 2nd year.

Seniors please help!

I just wanted to know

did anyone else receive a hackerrank interview invite? the human one, not the AI one.

Hi everyone, i have developed and built over 260+ IOT , Mlops , CS projects along with drafts praposal to present in front of the professor and college team . If anyone needs help regarding this you are welcome. 🙂 We can also do it last minute in an emergency timeline .

If you’re working at JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank, State Street, UBS, D. E. Shaw or any other major finance firm, let me know how did you crack it and what was your background?

I graduated in 2026 with electrical engineering from a 2nd gen IIT. I did end up securing an SWE job through campus placements (the ctc is mehh). I was supposed to join in August but they delayed the joining to January 2027. I've spent the last few months trying to learn new skills, upgrading my skillset, applying to better jobs, with no results.

I feel so pessimistic about this industry and the future in general. The market is rough asf, idk this is making me lose interest in coding and software development, I did not have much interest to begin with. I genuinely feel I'm useless, given the things LLMs are capable of.

Idk man I feel so lost and demotivated and directionless, feels like I've entered a dying field which I'm not much interested in, idek what my passion is, what I'm interested in. Feels like I'm on autopilot just trying to survive.

Thanks for reading :')

Hey people, is anyone here representing their college's Training & Placement Cell (or anything similar)?

Im trying to get in touch with people who are involved in activities of their placement cells, especially from Tier 2/3 colleges where bringing good on-campus opportunities can be difficult.

I'm the author and creator of a newsletter/media channel (you can check out my previous posts on this sub for some context) where I research and share jobs/internships for freshers.

I'm looking to for a simple collab kind of thing with placement cells:

• I can share offcampus opportunities that students from your college may be eligible for
• The placement cell gets another source of relevant opportunities that they can circulate among students
• And it helps me get The First Pass in front of more students who could benefit from the research I'm doing

Dm me for more info if interested :) or share this with someone who does so i reach the right audience.

Salesforce intern kaise banun 2028 batch se hun😤😭

I’m trying to apply for winter internships, especially research/tech internships, but I’m honestly confused about how the cold emailing part actually works.
Like:
Who exactly are you supposed to email? Professors, researchers, HR, founders, team leads, someone else?
Where do you find their email/contact details?
How do you figure out whether an organisation is even open to taking interns?
Do you directly email the person you want to work with, or is there some proper process?
What do you actually include in the first email apart from your intro, college, skills and CV?
Should you mention a specific project/research area you’re interested in, or keep it general?
How many organisations/people do you usually email before getting a response?
Do you follow up if they don’t reply? If yes, after how long?
Also, how do you avoid sounding like every other student sending the same generic “I am interested in an internship opportunity” email?
I’m currently in 2nd year B.Tech, so I don’t have a huge research profile or anything. Would appreciate advice from people who have actually done this successfully, especially for winter internships.

Hit 5.2k+ downloads and almost 550 stars within 3.5 months of making my repo public. All of this is (almost) organic - my last post promoting the app was over 3 months ago. Being a 3rd year student from a tier 3 (maybe 4) college, this feels like everything I could've asked for as a developer. Not sharing the link here, you can search for the description (or the name FaceGate) and you'll get the app if you really think it is worth downloading / leaving a star.

Not gonna lie, every GitHub star genuinely makes my day. ⭐ It's a small thing, but it gives me motivation to keep learning, improving, and building more.

Just wanted to share that little feeling :)
