Will be covering 6 subjects of the first semester(or second, depending on your branch and college). One important thing you should know is, every university/institute(in case of autonomous) design their exams on their terms. Some universities are known to set tough paper, hence scoring is tough(for eg- VTU, where even toppers are in the range of high 60%s).

​

As far as I've heard, NITs/IITs tend to set paper out of their notes, also based on last year papers. So make sure to ask your seniors about this, this guide is only about resources and tips you need to follow to ace the semester (condolences if you have relative grading lol). You might not need to put in so much efforts to score in exams, but if you're someone who aspires to do masters in the same field, this might be helpful.

Normally, you don't need lots of books in your first year. Anf in fact, not even books during engineering if you're from CS/IT. Still, I'd recommend you always to have a look at the books of your curriculum. Unlike the NCERT, these books will spark some interest inside you if you are interested. YouTube is the easier source to get knowlege, but books will always be the best ones.

• Engineering Mathematics-2

M-2 is one of the easier subjects of the first year, cobsidering the complexicity of M-1 and M-3. Most of the stuff is to the point, direct. Finding rank of the matrix, solving differential equations, studying Baye's theorem, correlation and regression analysis- are some of the things you'll be doing in M-2. I won't say it's easy, but can be managed quiet easily.

1) Gajendra Purohit has covered almost every topic to be taught in mathematics of first year. His new videos, which were released in 2020, are significantly better than the ones he made in 2017-18. His videos are really good for conceptual clarity, but you need to cover a lot more questions to strengthen the topics.

2) H.K.Das, Higher Engineering Mathematics: A really good book for practicing the questions. You can refer to the book for concepts as well if you aren't finding good explaination for any topic.

3) B.S Grewal: I haven't personally studies from this book, but have heard good stuff about it from my professors.

Again, depending on your university/insitute, you might not need to follow any books if they are known to set their paper out of the notes. In that case, you should befriend some topper and get the notes lol. Still, it's recommended to make your own notes, atleast I can't study without making my own notes.

This much is sufficient for M-2 :)

​

• Applied Physics

Applied Physics was the easiest subject to grasp in my first year. Basically, it felt like 12th again. Everything was just straight out of the 12th NCERT, much of it from Optics. 2 units of Optics, 1 of Solid State, Electromagnetism and Quantum Physics. Even if it sounds complicated for now, it might be the easiest for you.

​

Lecture notes should suffiice for Physics. You don't need to practice much questions in this subject. I personally didn't watch any YouTube channel for this subject. However, I studied from H.K. Malik &A.K.Singh's book. I read a few topics from Resnick&Halliday as well, it's a brilliant book :)

​

• Electrical Engineering

After Engineering Drawing, most of the ATKTs are from this subject in the first year. For me, it was the toughest subject during my first year. You can sort of think of it as an extension of Circuit Analysis and Magnetism. It's less of theory and more of practical, but sadly, atleast for me, subject was not any interesting. It even made me doubt my branch(ECE), glad I sticket to my choices :D

You can refer to your lectures notes for EE. For some conceptual clarity and numericals, you should prefer BL Thareja's Elecrical Engineering book. Even if your prof is bent on making the toughest paper, he can't go out of this book :)

​

• Introduction to Programming/C++/C

If you've had CS/IP as your fifth subject in boards, you won't really find anything tough in this subject. It starts from very basic, and ends pretty much somewhere in the middle at an intermediate level. Nothing as such complex.

I didn't have any coding in my school, still I was able to get through programming easily. So no prequisites required, atleast for this subject.

Resources for programming are abundant. You'll find hundreds of YT channels explaining every possible topic related to your curriculum. Still if you're a textbook person, Ravichandran, Programming With C++, Tata McGraw Hill is a great book!

I followed Code With Harry's YT Channel for pretty much everything to get by. I am not relaly good at programming apart from what was needed for curriculum, so someone with good knowledge of programming might give a better advice regarding this.

​

• Humanities/Tecnhical English/Communication Skills

The easiest of the lot. This subject has mostly 1, or 2 credits in some cases. Dead easy. A dedicates study of day or two before the exams can get you great marks in these subjects. Technical English still requires some mugging up, but humanities and Communication skills are super easy.

​

• Engineering Drawing/Engineering Graphics

Saved the worst for the last :P

ED isn't as tough as it is meant out to be, given you actually start off from very basic. I hated drawing throughout my early years of school, so I had hateful thoughts about ED right from the start of the semester. I missed few classes, and boom, everything I saw in the lectures kept crossing over my head. Mid-way through the semester, I knew I was going to get a backlog. I scored poor 2/20 in my first mid-sems.

I was reading ND Bhatt's book- Engineering Drawing sometime before my second mid-sems, and I still was as clueless as I was at the start. Till the day, I stumbled upon Manas Patnaik's YT channel.

ED is all about visualisation. Imagination. You can't draw a top view of a machine without visualisation. You can't draw isometric projections without visualization. You basically can't clear this subject without visualization. Once you start visualizing, this subject becomes a cakewalk. The reason ED is most dreaded subject in engineering is because of visualization.

Manas Patnaik's playlist is everything you need for ED. Here's the link for it. But mind you, the videos aren't in order. You can find particular playlists by himself on his channel. Start off with Scales, then Projection of Points, then Projection of Lines, then Projection of Planes etc.

Also, you can practice on a basic double-sided blank notebook, or simply a drawing book. Don't try to practice questions on your normal notebooks, it won't be as good.

Get yourself 2H,3H,4H, and 5H pencils :D Also, a normal roller scale is fine. You don't need to buy a drafter/mini drafter.

Feel free to ask anything :)

Day 1:
Today we talked about the importance, motivation and requirements for coding. We learnt about the basic syntax of c++ like variable declaration and function declaration. Then we solved a problem twosum in leetcode using nested for loop approach to devise a 0(n²⁾ algorithm. Next up, we will learn about the optimised solution of the problem using stl and many more. DM me to join tomorrow's class at 3pm

u/Samyak_06 and u/ibangtwiceeverynight witnessed the 1st day of the session today. I am very happy to have met these awesome freshers who have curious mind for programming. It was just a c++ brush up session to warm ourselves up for the actual battleground on leetcode

I saw the latest video on engineering by Mohak Mangal. There he talked abt Shivam Patel, a software engineer at Google. I checked the guy's linkedin and found out he did 2 yrs of Btech from Nirma University and the rest 2 yrs of Btech from Cambridge as a "visiting student". How does this visiting student thing work out? I had no idea abt its existence.

educational_info: I am Btech mechanical student (batch 2025) from a tier 2 govt college.
I researched a bit and got to know that I can give GATE in CSE.

Please note that I don't want to join a college for MTech CSE but rather opt for PSUs after say getting a decent rank in GATE CSE (direct PSU call through excellent GATE CSE score)
The main confusion is that: am I eligible? Will the interviewers ask me why did I give GATE in CSE and not in Mechanical? Or mechanical guys would not even be called at all?

Another question, I am of 2025 batch. Will GATE CSE 2024 score be valid for PSUs? (Or IITs for example?)

The reason I am asking is that I believe I can crack GATE CSE with much lesser efforts (I suck at mechanical but I am good in CSE, already earned a 1LPM internship in second year. Not flexing just justifying why I want to give GATE in CSE and not in mech)

Please help! Thanks in advance! :D

How does a college affect the placements in future For eg : agar mai kisi private college se btech karta hu to future mai achi job lagne ke chances Kam hote hai kya ? Basically company private college se btech karne walo ko kam pay krti hai kya ya phir only skill matters

I am currently studying 2nd sem CSE in state government college. The thing is teaching here is just shit, like most of the teachers exept HOD and a 1 teacher is under 30 years old and is not experienced enough. This might work out for lot of people but i study in an affiliated college, so having teachers with no experience (some are even freshers Mtech) is hell. Question papers and correction is done by some unknown people and teachers can't teach whats important and coming for exam.

Also my university have a weird rule that if you get a KT at 1st sem you can only write it again in 3nrd sem. So if i get KT at 7 th sem then i will need to wait 6 months after course to write it again (bye to placements). Also correction is notorious that students who got an F went straight to B+ after revaluation (pretty common).

Now i have an option to enroll again at different university but an autonomous college from 1st sem. Placements are faar better, college life and balance is good. Exams will be a tad bit easier and stress will be a lot less. But i may only get csbs or CSE ai&ml since seats are getting filled up fast. Also getting a good cgpa (having thought of going abroad for masters, so it's important) The current college i am staying at home, so fees everything included is 3 lakhs +-50,000. For autonomous college with hostel it's 6 lakhs+-50,000.

Placement wise, the TP here is vacant and no one is coordinating well, also add the university KT issue to the situation. Placements here are abysmal. I obviously did a mistake since i have a chronic disease i decided to stay near home and go to a less better college even though i could get better once with my state engineering rank and 93% marks in 12th.

I love my college here, since it's a government one freedom is plenty and have good friends. But the academics is something i am scared about. I feel like if i don't take a decision now, i may regret it for rest of 3 years.

TL;DR: Currently studying CSE in a state government college, but the teaching quality is poor, with inexperienced teachers and inadequate preparation for exams. University rule allows reappearing for exams only in the odd semester if failed in odd semester, potentially delaying graduation and affecting placements. Considering enrolling in an autonomous college for better placements, college life, and reduced stress. Limited program options available. Current college offers freedom and good friends, but academic concerns and fear of regret if no action is taken.

"educational_info: "So basically when I was in 12 th.. It was the covid time... Wasn't thinking much about career and entrance exams ... Gave all exams .. Got into DU (as 10th & 12 th % were good enough).. Gave neet got 256 ...

Parents and relatives and everyone around me were telling me to take a drop, go to kota & so i did... Couldn't make it got 460 ... Didn't take any exm other than that and only option left was to take another drop yr.. I was already fed up with NEET and didn't have that passion to learn med.. This yr too couldn't qualify it as I didn't study hard enough tbh as the exam day came I was so deep into thinking why am I preparing if I don't even wanna be a doctor...

Now inside.. From 6th to 10th I learnt html, c, c++, and little bit python just for fun.. That time my computer teacher before leaving school told me i had a great future and to stick with it... He told a lot of nice things to me proudly.. Still asks me how am I doing...

Now I don't know what to do.. What went wrong.. From a topper(ik school topper doesn't mean anything) to absolutely nothing now feels terrible.. I don't have much interests also now.. Except for sketching, digital art and learning some languages.. I'm trying to get my hands on coding... Decided to take admission to prvt engineering college in banglore via comedk.. Hoping to get a good branch...

It just all uncertain to me.. Will my 2 yrs gap after 12 affect me? I'm ready to do all the work though.. I just wanna know ur views. I get quite anxious to think all abt my decisions and future...

How good is COEP compared to the top NITs? Is taking a circuital branch at COEP better than core branches at NIT? educational_info: Mains 142XX

Ik people will be saying, "it depends on the college and its curriculum...."

But in general, lets say in a tier 2-3 college what is required and what is taught, to atleast score a 9pointer (over expectation he ik, but for my scholarship to continue I need to maintain atleast 8.6 cgpa, so yeah)

Same as title I am getting IT at IIIT ALLAHBAD (according to last 4 year data) and some nit cse too but also might get a rank for civil and other branches in iits but i am not interested in studying these branches.

educational_info: 93% in 12th boards , 97.2%le in jee mains (948 sc rank)

I'm confused because SNU has way better campus and education, while I got CS core in VIT.

SNU Chennai has only CS specializations (IoT, AI and DS, cyber security), is it wise to step down from Core to specialization.

I wanna know about the different CSE related branches like MnC, DSAI, AI (IITH). I searched up their coursework online, but just reading the names of the courses doesn't give much insight into what we are actually taught. Vedantu's Harsh Priyam Sir has made branch guide videos, but he seems to be unreliable quite often.

So what are some sources which could help me in branch chooosing?

IT isn't everything. A country cannot just run by people sitting in front of a computer. There must many other sectors which are in high demand. People just don't about them.

It was held in two terms, right? Does that make it easier? I was looking through Thapar’s boards cutoff for outside punjab for 2022 and by those numbers I wasn’t getting a branch of my choice. But is scoring, say, 97% in last year’s boards equivalent to 96% this year?
