Very nice post Abhishek.

Even i have gone through a similar situation(2nd batch of our college, no one to guide, no1 to tell something practical). I really appretiate whatever you have written in this post as its related to students who are not getting enough knowledge, directions and have to choose what is shown to the. Though its true you don’t need an iPhone, best internet connection or even a laptop to become a good engineer.
I would like to add one more point here: Its that a student should not take the stream of engineering just because they think that they might land up in a high paying company. There should be a passion of becoming a true engineer. Try to go something productive no matter what you do is used by anyone of gives you any economic benefits. Learning PHP would clear up many programming concepts(as it is similar to c++), OOPS, and also give you a glimpse of related languages like HTML, scripting like JS.
Just don’t stop trying.

This is not a right answer about how to become a world class engineer because there is not such need for gadgets like laptops , iphones etc. etc. .Because to study the microprocessor we are first told to begin with 8085/8086 like microprocessor which is the building block and much away from the latest.

Google Reader is really addictive, but it helps me making a decision for setting up a domain of work for future…!

I think everyone who aspires to stay in IT for life-long should use Google Reader. It also helps to keep up with the knowledge of the latest technologies.

I think one should also read a Book

“97 things every programmer should know.”

Its is a collection of 97 small essays from many great programmers from all over the world. It is very nicely given in the book as to what coding standards should be followed, what should be the attitude of the programmer etc etc.

I think it is a must for development aspirant programmer.

my formula is very simple and straight forward.

Just love the black box in front of you, and explore it in any order.Remember there is nothing called tough in computer science REALLY.

There is no single formula to master it. Just keep doing whatever you like the most and keep digging deep in to it. You will see the light at the end of the tunnel yourself

great thought Ruchika…!

yesterday only I just commented on this blog when I came accross this comment posted by u here…

ur comment was really grt suggestion …

I kept on thinking abt it for hours that if one has to develop in this software industry…he has to begin PROGRAMMING rt here and rt nw…!

I think abhishek should update the above blog post and include some of the great reviews in the comments given by the visitors…!

see computer engineers have to write high quality programs and develop the software in the industry…!

I just passed-out from PICT,Pune and begun working for AIRFORT NETWORKS INC.

my heartly suggestion to every computer engineering student is that they should write the programs on their own…

this takes lot of efforts at the start but you will come to know its importance thruout ur life n Engg. profession…

I have suffered a lot coz I didnt follow this so do take thses words of mine seriously…

jaydeep — Sun, 04 Jul 2010 20:10:33 +0000

yeah I already have told many of ma friends about this blog post and I am regularly visiting this blogs comments just to see if there are any new links and suggestions by any1…!

Like you,I also want to see India as a great nation of quality technology geeks and programmers…

will keep visiting and will keep posting any new matter I found useful for self-development…

Hi Shashwat,
Different companies have different demands so it is not possible to match their expectations. If you can do some or all of the tips mentioned in the article, it should be sufficient for any company.

hi…
I am going to start graduation in CS. I found this blog much helpful in setting my way towards my career. I want to know what companies demand in a computer engineer . I mean what work a CS engineer have to do in a company. I am asking this so that I can try to excel in those fields which is in demand of companies.

Kiranpal, you conflicted yourself and disappointed me by your last sentence. “Highly paying computer engineer”!!. Really!! You only want to be that.

Now I am not against earning money, in fact all we do is that ultimately. But that should not be the only goal. When you are not comparing yourselves with others on marks why you should compare yourself in terms on money? Where did excellence go in that case?

So focus on what you love to do right now and give your best shot at it. Outcome does not matter, both in terms of marks and money.

I know your institute and we have few team members from your college too. It is not necessary to do MTECH or any other course after engineering, unless you really have the urge to do it.

Working for a startup or working on your startup for 2 years will give you much more knowledge then doing a masters or ant other course.

So go ahead and follow your passion.

hELLO ABHISHEK…….I wanna ask u something …..that is it necessary that u will be good computer engineer if u have graduated from a good college ?…Actually I’m studying in CHAROTAR UNIVERSITY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY…..may be u r familiar with this institute…..I want to achieve something extraordinary in life…..but the environment in college is such that the students only study to secure marks….I don’t compare myself with these Idiots, it doesn’t matter for me weather they secure more or less than me……I only go for excellence and concepts…..My last question is will it be OK to have M-tech after B-tech from computer engineering ?…..I also heard from people that if u r in computer field then u should have also done some other courses…….Finally u tell me what is advisible to do to be a highly paying computer engineer……..
