I am 12th pass and now its time to pick a college i wasnt able to get tear 1 college, so i want to ask is it worth it to go to the best private college or fight for good college like filling forms giving multiple exam and all .

Is it ok to good i an avrage college an work on my self ik skill matter a most but college also provides you with something whats the thing and is it worth trying so hard for?

I am new🤓, i want you guys to guide me and tell me where to get started from i mean a roadmap. I know python and a little bit c , i am still looking what i wanna do and all just passed my 12th i think i like programming and design and basically everything .i wanna know -

1. what should i learn first
2. Where should i learn it from
3. What engine should i use
4. Any piece of advice you wanna give to a newcomer

I did a bit of research basically i am inspired by dani, they i search youtube tutorials but they were a lot of topics script and all i was overwhelmed so i felt like asking people who are alrady doing it cauz they can give me the best answer.

I just pass out from 12th class and i wanna know should i go for game developer as a career in 2026 ? The research i did told me -

1. Fk no
2. Dont go for it less pay very less pay outs
3. Very uncertain
4. Ai is killing it
5. No

I am exhausted i have asked 5 people who i know personally they arent game developer but are in software engineering, i have posted on multiple platforms but didnt get any positive response they told me to go for cse or ai , its basically they are trying to say kill you passion or do it on side.

College is already very hard. We get assignments projects and all . Then study practice and all so i dont this so i will get 2to 3 hours a game to do game development.

I completed a Diploma in Computer Science Engineering and now I’m planning to pursue B.Tech through lateral entry. I’m really interested in game development and want to build games using engines like Unity/Unreal while also keeping good software engineering/job opportunities open in the future.

I’m confused about what branch/course I should choose for B.Tech:

• Regular CSE
• CSE with specialization in Game Development/Gaming Technology
• IT/Software Engineering
• Something else?

I also wanted to know which colleges in India offer good options for:

• Lateral entry after diploma
• Strong CSE fundamentals
• Opportunities related to game development/game programming

Some questions I had:

• Is a gaming specialization worth it?
• Can I still get normal software development jobs after it?
• Which colleges should I target?
• Is regular CSE better than a gaming specialization?
• What skills should I focus on during B.Tech if I want to become a game developer?

Would really appreciate honest advice from people studying or working in this field.

I’m currently exploring Game Development as a career path and looking into the right colleges, courses, and opportunities in this field.

I’d love to connect with people who are studying Game Development, working in the gaming industry, or have experience related to this domain. Any guidance regarding colleges, course structure, internships, skills to focus on, career growth, or the industry overall would genuinely help me make better decisions for my future.

I’m especially interested in hearing real experiences from students and professionals in the field.

Thank you in advance for your time and support — I truly appreciate it.
