I am doing engineering from a tier 3 college.
Now I have got a total back in 3 subjects and I'm very stressed mentally. I'm better at studies than my friends but when it comes to marks I always lag behind. Now I'm not able to understand how I should improve my marks and mental health.

I was not able to understand anything now, that is why I came here

I wanted to pen down my story, as I have been feeling extremely low for the past two days. I work hard, but still don’t get the results that I deserve
Some background. Did engineering from a tier 3 college(this one’s on me, didn’t study hard in my 12th, hence completely my mistake). During college, I was motivated and determined to do good, and aspired for MS abroad in top university, so that I could get rid of the tier 3 tag(honestly, my undergrad college was so bad that mostly the localites of the city enrolled, and only for the purpose of getting a degree, even mass recruiters didn’t recruit from this campus). I worked hard in my first sem, and this college was affiliated to a state university. In the end sem exam, I was given horrible marks, completely careless checking, significantly reducing my GPA. I applied for reassessment but no change. Apart from that, I kept upskilling, learnt ML. In 4th sem, I was given a backlog(it got cleared when I applied for reassessment). Honestly I would always do well in class and internal exams, but somehow the external examiners always gave unfair marks and had to always apply for reassessment.
In 3rd year, I got an internship of 2 months, but had to cut it down to a month as college had attendance issues. In the final semester I got a 6 month internship at a very good startup, at a very good pay, but again, had to turn it down due to college attendance issues. During final year, wrote a research paper, initially it got rejected, but had to raise contention with the conference committee for unfair evaluation, and after reevaluation by other reviewers, got stellar reviews and paper was published( you see how unfair it is right). I also gave GRE, TOEFL and got decent score, got into 1 so so university but was rejected by 5 others. Didn’t go for it as it was not that great and it was COVID year.
After college concluded, it was COVID time. Continued in comments.

How do you keep yourself motivated, when things always go against you?

Machine Learning Engineer

Hello I'm from a tier 3 college from India (currently sem 4 btech)
I currently have 3 backlogs from first year as i messed up and none from then but gpa was quite low currently 6.2 (currently doing 1 backlog)
And JP Morgan came for my college and the minimum requirements is 7.5gpa and no backlogs
Can someone suggest me if u have any backlogs how u same across it and solved it.. all my friends are eligible  which makes me kinda sad 
If everything goes wrong maybe I'll try to into indie game dev 
But for now i feel like I have to go into market and then start omw that's why 🥲

Backlog affects help

I blame parents for this. Not that coaching centres are saints, they suck the life out of students by making them study 24/7 but the reason that child is in coaching centre is because parents put him/her there.

And every suicide letter I have read from students mentions that they couldn't fulfil parents expectations.

They are the reason their child is in that condition, just because they want to brag and seek validation  from so called society that their child is a prodigy (and want to establish that they are the creator of this prodigy) who went to medical/IIT. And if the child doesn't act acc. to their expectations, they start gaslighting them "We gave you birth" "Maa baap bhagwan ka roop hote hai how dare you blame us Or don't listen to us" 
I once watched a movie (don't remember the name) where actress says "As parent we determine if our child needs tuition classes but at same time we fail to know if he/she needs therapy"

Who do you think is to be blamed? 

Also parents on GV don't push your child if he doesn't want to fly, thinking he has wings, he may fall to death.

The Court was hearing a PIL filed by a Mumbai-based doctor Aniruddha Narayan Malpani who blamed coaching institutes for driving students to death

SC blames parents for Kota suicides, refuses to rein in coaching centres

Who do think is responsible for stress? Parents or coaching mafia?

Gist-
Prepared for JEE in Allen Kota, always been a low confidence , never believed in myself . Failed to clear JEE advance. Got Decent rank in SRM, VIT & State Eng. Exam then I did engineering from state's private college.
I was always passionate about computer sciecne, deeply invested my time in competitive programming/core subjects & started to believing in myself. Somehow due to some reason, I left all of this & landed in Service based company, did not got the work i wished for, still procrastinated there & It took me almost 3.5 years to leave the company then moved to product based startup but still not competent enoguh to land role in some of best startup/orgs. 

During this phase I started to loose my hair & still loosing day by day(got so much insecurity). I tried multiple things to stop hair loss but failed. Doctors says it's androgenic alopecia. Due to long working hourse I got some other health problems too.

I feel life is always unfair.I don't know how to fill this void. I can't compromise becuase i always pushed myself beyond my limits, but in this case can'do enough.

Feeling frustrated about life

Software Engineer

I found an old form from 2013, my father had sent details
Annual Income - 8L
Education expense - 2.5L

He is retired govt empl so couldn't lie on numbers

I was in top autonomous institute, and my brother in good private school in Delhi

It hits me now, how I wasted my life 'enjoying college' and thereafter
Falling in and out of love

Parents never say anything on practical topics, just regular wake up early, eat vegetables rant

I fucked my life and how

my_qualification: B.Tech IT from tier-3 college. 70%
I am 24 years old. I graduated in 2021 and had total 13 backlogs during UG and it took me 5 years to complete my degree. I am unemployed since my graduation and have been wasting my time on learning random things or multiple technologies at a same time. 2 months ago I decided to go to Canada for masters and my family supported me, my friend suggested me MS Data Science because he is Data Scientist in Canada. So, I gave IELTS in March and scored 7 band. Recently I had a talk with an Agency named Canam. And they suggested me to get Experience Letter + offer letter + LOR from employer + last 6 months payslip also Backlog Certificate from college but I don't have any of these things. What should I do in this situation? How should I move forward? How can I get my life on track? I'm just confused and not sure what should I do.

How can I get my life on track? What should I do in this situation?

Frontend Engineer

Taking lead from @salt, extending the applications of Monte-Carlo(MC) to silicon circuits simulations. 

I am trying to pick stuff from BTech, 1st year Basic Electronics which most engineers (irrespective of branch) would have studied (or at least heard in class 🤪). Below we have a picture of a very basic Resistor-Capacitor (RC) circuit connected to a battery (Voltage). For theoretical simplifications, we assumed the resistor to have a single, whole-number value (for example, a 5-ohm resistance). In real when we manufacture such resistance (or capacitors), due to complexities associated with manufacturing processes, exhibit a tolerance range around the base value. The resistor we took might exhibit a value between 4.95 ohm to 5.05 ohm. Such range variations lead to changes in currents flowing through these circuits. 

Now imagine, a simple home device having millions of such resistors. All these devices would exhibit different resistance values (some might show 4.95, others might show 5.025, rest 5.05). All these variations make the life of an electronics designer much more complicated. They use Monte-Carlo simulations to explore the range of output current variations and define downstream parameters accordingly. MC makes life bit deterministic in an otherwise uncertain electronics world! 

I hope, I am able to add some value to “geeking-out” series. Shoot your queries, if any🤓

Entry level business analyst

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

Entry level product/business analyst roles

I am from a tier 3 college, going to graduate in 2024. With all these layoffs, recession scene going on I am completely stressed out. My college started pretty late, I am in third year within just 1 year of offline college and 1 year of online. Didn't really get time to learn and explore initially, I haven't done much development neither LeetCode, I feel like I am effed now. 

What and how should I start getting a grip on things? I have done basic HTML, CSS, know python and basics of JS plus Java, C and C++. 

I really want some guidance on how to proceed ahead with learning development, I really want a job and get out of my toxic household.

I was not able to understand anything now, that is why I came here
