Which non IT companies visit and what packages do they offer?

what apps do you use to track calories

Are all mech students placed in CS/IT or do any core companies actually visit this college???

How is it like?

Is it practically possible to get a solid tech job with a Math or Physics background nowadays?

For those who have done it or work with people who have:

What roles are the best fit? (I’ve heard Data Science, Quantitative Analysis, and Machine Learning are good, but what about standard Software Engineering?)

What do I need to build? How important are portfolios, personal projects, and open-source contributions to make up for the lack of a CS degree?

How harsh is the screening? Do resumes just get auto-rejected by ATS algorithms because the major doesn't say "Computer Science"?

What should I focus on right now? (Languages, specific frameworks, internships, LeetCode?)

I would love to hear any success stories, brutal realities of the current job market, or actionable advice you might have.Thanks in advance!

myquals: 12th pass

Hey everyone,

I am looking into choosing a course, and I am completely torn between BSc Mathematics and BSc Statistics.

To be honest, I don't know much about the day-to-day reality of either field yet.I want to understand what actually happens inside the classroom and after graduation.

If you have studied either of these, could you explain the differences like I am a complete beginner?

What does a typical homework assignment look like for each?

How much computer programming is actually required in Statistics?

Is Pure Math too abstract and useless for normal corporate jobs?

Which degree is more flexible if I don't know my exact career goal yet?

Hey everyone,I am looking into doing a BSc (and potentially an MSc) in Mathematics at Delhi University (DU). However, I want to be completely realistic about my employment options before diving in.I am not interested in general corporate jobs like standard software development, marketing, or general MBA roles where a math degree is just a generic checkbox.

I want to know EXACTLY which careers actually use core mathematics, advanced statistics, or heavy quantitative theory after graduating from DU.If you are working in a purely math-oriented role after graduating from DU, could you share your experience? Specifically:What are the exact roles available?

I am thinking of fields like Actuarial Science, Quantitative Finance/Algorithmic Trading, Operations Research, Cryptography, or Pure/Applied Research. Are there other paths?

How brutal is the entry barrier? How hard is it to clear Actuarial exams alongside DU's intense schedule?

Is a BSc enough, or is an MSc/PhD mandatory?

Can you actually get a core math job straight after a BSc, or do you absolutely need a postgraduate degree to be taken seriously?

What is the self-study roadmap? Since DU math leans very heavily toward abstract and pure math, what specific applied math, statistical tools, or programming languages (like R or MATLAB) did you have to learn on your own to clear technical interviews?

I would love some brutally honest insights on the competition, the preparation difficulty, and what the job market looks like right now for DU math grads who want to stay in core math.

Thanks in advance!
