Re: Doubts
Exactly!! that what I'm talking about!!
Syllabus in India, of engineering is full crap....
Ok, Guys tell me that, subjects which is taught in CSE apart from programming like Digital Electronics, Networking, Processor Architecture etc
This all will be used in real life i.e in company and all
The agenda which drives these subjects to run in the 4 year curriculum, is not totally unjust. Its the execution which sucks in private colleges. I was in one. Not a good one. The technology and computing universe is expanding, changing in a ludicrous speed outside WBUT, we cant afford to keep up with that by learning how to plot a SGF or by learning how many registers were there in a processor from Jurassic age.
There are some subjects which really have nothing to do with either the intrigue that is promised in CSE or the cash-grab side of it. Control systems wont throw you a dime, any instrumental engineering or measurement subject would never ever help you pay your bills. But there are some subjects which you would not know yet will come handy, but they will, oh yes.
These subjects will be proven the heart stone of your future life as in a IT/Telecom oriented business space, sometimes directly, sometimes as part of your non-pro life.
Mathematics= You should not ignore it, it may not directly affect your payroll later on, but will give you a solid base of confidence.
Digital and Analog Electronics specially Telecommunication theory = You will regret not taking interest in it once you go in a OSS/BSS stack in any provider or its vendor (IBM,Ericsson ,Alcatel, Huwawei,Siemens,MSAT even TCS )
Networking= Something that you would want to go back and learn again once you start loving YouTube videos on how things work or may work in this insanely advancing telecom space.
Computer Organization/OS/Microprocessor = Does it let you know how your super-cool killer gaming rig actually works? NO. What it does then? It lets you UNDERSTAND that s#it when you are TOLD HOW! its the alphabets and most fundamental building blocks of understanding.
AI/Theory of Computer Science/Algorithms = No your not becoming Alan Turing by reading all these, these are tough and abstract s#it, not for everyone, but if you have something you still dont know in you, and if you are supposed to be a great engineer in Computer Fking Science...someday...put these in your plate and chew.
See, all these things that you will learn and will pretend to in the interview table, along with the horse-riding-guitar-playing-post-colonial-poetry-writing-dancing-singing-cricketing bullcrap hobbies , will gather a Truckload of dust in the next 2 years of absolute isolation from healthy living and non-compliance with study in college. So apart from programming and database...just try to read up those subjects at least to some level which...you know..lets you stay away from repentance...that "If I had just put some hours in this..that time...i would not need these basic goggling or you tube" is bad in mid-life.
Because someday, while you will be walking in the office gate with a backpack with hundreds of dudes looking same like you are, you might stumble to a question "what the fk is going on and why am i doing this" Then...you will start to look-back, and it will be not too late...but a little for sure.
