Tier 1 core vs Tier 2 circuital
NIT Trichy chem or tier 2 NITs CSE. Also I was getting mechanical in Trichy but, I seemed to like chemical. But, yeah I also like CSE and other circuital branches too. I am a good learner and actually have interest in both. But I'm getting mixed opinions from people. Please help me. And upvote it asap. Josaa closes tomorrow.

    Never take chemical, it has no scope and infrastructure in india and you will most likely be unplaced even if you do it from iit Bombay

Boards 75% criteria
What are the subjects required for 75% criteria for boards? Is pcm + english + optional subject compulsory or we can choose our best 5 subjects?(excluding p/c/m) the sources online are confusing as well. Has anyone taken admission in NIT/IIIT/IIT with his preference of subjects for 75% criteria?

    Pcm+English+optional subject is the criteria

    ECE jobs in India are practically non-existent. Because we don’t have a serious semiconductor manufacturing ecosystem. So if you’re banking on getting placed in some VLSI, embedded hardware, or chip design role forget it, unless you're from an IIT, have a PhD, or at least a top-tier M.Tech. The mass recruiters in India like TCS, Infosys, Wipro all IT services companies, hiring for software engineering, not electronics. They’ll ask you about DSA, object-oriented programming, and some basic coding concepts. They won’t care that you studied antennas or signals. Your degree doesn’t owe you a job. The market doesn’t care what you studied. It cares what you can build and how fast you can learn. So Learn C++, C, or Python (I recommend starting with C++ and Cython if you want low-level power). Get serious about DSA if you want to crack mass placements. Or Stop waiting for on-campus recruiters to save you. Use LinkedIn, GitHub, AngelList, job boards, or even direct company outreach. And don’t get emotionally attached to your ECE degree. Treat it like background noise. Your job and income will come from your actual skill stack, not your university transcript. I studied Mechanical Engineering, and like a fool, I only applied for Mech-related jobs. Guess what, They don’t exist in volume anymore. Unless you’re in R&D or robotics, or studying abroad, you’ll just end up at a BPO or in a government job if you’re lucky. If you want to get into ECE only jobs then learn embedded systems programming, learning STM32, Keil uVision, ARM Cortex-M microcontrollers, Docker, Arduino, Nordic chips, Embedded C, Fritzing, and more. Otherwise just Pivot to software and level up your skills to get a good job here. Leave India if you can and, do a master’s abroad in a niche field (AI, ML, robotics, semiconductors) and job-hunt while studying. Because the harsh truth is high-paying engineering jobs are rare in India unless you’re in the top 1%. You need to understand market economics first, then electronics engineering. Just like a smart founder understands customer pain points before building tech, not the other way around. Don’t be the engineer who built a VLSI-based masterpiece only to end up in a bank job, a government desk, or an MBA program because there were no takers. That’s a solution looking for a problem. If you’re serious about ECE then go beyond textbooks. Learn System-on-Chip design Computer architecture Embedded software Industrial automation (PLC, SCADA) IoT hardware + firmware stacks Make yourself employable, not just educated.

software vs core
I'm from NIT second year ece but I'm so confused whether to take core or software, I am interested in software but I'm afraid of losing my job in the future, cause it's easy to learn so won't everyone learn from just a laptop and I'll be replaced easily? Maybe I am wrong so help me like I was just going through a video in which he said about ML engineering course so that can just be learnt from YouTube, so how I'll I be different from someone else?

    Bhai you'll also be upscaling as you get work experience na.
