Preparing for GATE ECE is it worth it ?

Is this exam worth preparing for? Maybe a good score can indicate good knowledge of DS/AI theory to employers? (In case you don't get a masters program like IISc/IIT)

Graduated in 2022. Working in the telecom software domain. I want to have the college experience again (COVID destroyed mine) and hoping get a salary jump as well. How are the courses and peers in the CSE department in these institutes? Is it worth preparing for GATE and leaving my job to join these institutes? Or is it better to skill up and switch? Current base:10LPA Thanks,

I'm currently a master's student will be graduating this year 2024 and placements have been very hard to us despite being in one of the premier institute of India. As working professionals what do you suggest me to tackle this situation also please do let me know if any of your companies are looking to hire a fresher. Already had a year gap after graduation for GATE preparation. Prefered roles : Software Development

Hi everyone, A bit about me: I'm a 25-year-old female with a CTC of 4.5 LPA and around 2 years of experience. I was forced to resign from my first company, and currently, I don't have any job offers. Job hunting has been very challenging for me. Due to my negative first experience, I'm scared and skeptical about joining another company. Additionally, I don't expect a significant salary hike with a switch right now. I seek advice on pursuing a master's degree. Should I prepare for it? Is it worth it? Will it lead to a better package? I'm really confused between pursuing a master's and looking for another job. Any help, advice, or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I'm 24 year old unemployed. I graduated in 2021 with BTech IT from tier 3 college. Initially I was preparing for UPSC exam but I gave up after few months and now for a year I have been learning Front End Development and have learnt HTML, CSS, JS & ReactJS but unable to find a job. I made a lot of mistakes in past and didn't learned from them. I'm not good at anything. I apply daily at different platforms ex: wellfound (formerly angellist), hirist, hirect, instahyre, cutshort, individual mass hiring companies off campus but from nowhere I'm getting interview call even if I get call I'm not able to clear interview. Now the thing is my parents gave me ultimatun to get out of the house by April 1st they don't care what type of job I do. I don't understand what can I do now. I'm willing to do hardwork and learn from my mistakes I just need little guidance to get on a track. If anyone can guide me on how to get a job or any advice. I would really appreciate it. Thanks for reading.

Take for example the IIT Kanpur E-Masters, I know that at a level, these are schemes for these institutions to make money, but do they hold any value, will the iitian tag be of any work ? I do want to pursue a masters but cannot leave my job, GATE doesn't provide any admissions in a good online masters. Any one with similar experiences? Other opinions ? There is OMSCS georgia tech, but I am not sure about that given my academic past. Anything 😕?

I'm from the cursed batch , 2024 which is about to end within 2 months , after I'll be at home with no placements in hand , it's all my fault coz I didn't study, I have just 7.02 cgpa and college didn't even shortlist my name , so instead of having a year gap , should I do mtech from local college so that side by side I can grind req skills Like there are 2 sides of this First one , having a gap (let's say 6 months) and trying hard off campus to crack a company. Second one , doing mtech from local college, and in that time period trying to get off campus, why off campus, it is obvious local college= no placement Now gate preparation also req time , and this year gate exam has already been done . So waiting for the next gate exam will be no point . Thanks in advance 🙏

I have Bsc CS degree from a mid college in Mumbai under Mumbai University. I don't have any side projects to write home about. I am working as a Junior dev at an early stage yc startup and I am enjoying working here and learning a lot. But people around me keep telling me that a Masters degree will open up more opportunities. So i just wanted to know, is it worth doing a masters? Or should I keep working and gain experience and build side projects?

During my B.Tech, I balanced my studies with active participation in clubs and committees, and also engaged in sports and exploration. Aspiring for a non-core placement, I didn't participate in hackathons or apply for internships. After graduation, I pursued various paths, including preparing for the CAT exam with only three months of preparation time, but I didn't succeed. I then applied to several companies for data analytics roles but kept making new mistakes in each attempt. In one instance, I was rejected for oversharing my passion for data science in a final interview. To improve my chances, I optimized my resume and completed significant projects, but these efforts haven't yet yielded the desired results. Realizing the challenges of relying on a single target, I also started preparing for the GATE exam. Reflecting on my journey, I recognize that I should have applied for on-campus opportunities, as off-campus job hunting is challenging and unpredictable, regardless of one's preparation. Tell me your story? In order to get some hope that we can make it and it's never too late
