Just a piece of advice before choosing your engineering college:

If you're capable of paying ₹3–4 lakh as a donation, don't spend it just to get Computer Science in a random Tier-3 college.

Instead, consider taking AIDS, ENTC, Data Science, AI & ML, Cyber Security, or other CS-related branches in a top engineering college.

Your college brand, environment, and network can make a huge difference in the long run.

Choose the right college first, then the branch. It's an investment in your future.

By the way, I made the mistake of choosing Computer Science in a Tier-3 college. Looking back, I wish I had given more importance to the college than just the branch.

If you have the option, don't repeat my mistake.

During our external viva, the external examiner did not sign our black book. He also did not listen to our project demonstration completely and started suggesting major changes while comparing our project with large platforms like Amazon and Flipkart. Because of this, we couldn't properly explain our work.

The external examiner then told us to make those changes and show the updated project within 2 days. Since then, our faculty has told us that they would contact us, but we haven't received any update yet. Because of this don't know what to do next.

I wanted to ask honestly—does SPPU really fail final-year students because of project-related issues like this, or is there usually a process to resolve such cases?

We live in an era where AI can process massive datasets in seconds, banks handle millions of transactions every minute, and cloud systems scale effortlessly.

So here's a genuine question:

Why can't exams like JEE or MHT-CET declare results within a few hours after the final shift concludes?

I'm not saying results should come after each shift—that would obviously be unfair because normalization depends on all shifts being completed.

But once the last shift is over, why does it still take several days or weeks?

The entire process seems like it could be automated:

..Candidate responses are already digital.

..Normalization algorithms can run automatically.

..Percentiles and ranks can be computed in minutes.

..scorecards could be generated almost instantly.

Is the delay due to:

..Answer key objections?

..Government approvals and bureaucracy?

..Security and legal checks?

..Or are there technical challenges that most people don't know about?

I'm genuinely curious to hear from anyone who has worked on large-scale examination systems or has knowledge of how these results are processed.

What do you think? Should technology be able to deliver results within hours after the final exam shift, or are there valid reasons why that isn't practical?

Anyone Given Interview on 21May Pune TCS Office Got DV mail ?

TCS is literally testing students' patience at this point. If we're not selected, just send a rejection email and let us move on. Why keep thousands of students hanging for months without any clear update?

People have careers to plan, other opportunities to pursue, and important decisions to make. If I'm rejected, I need to know so I can fill out the CDAC form, focus on other companies, or plan my next step accordingly. The uncertainty is honestly more frustrating than a rejection.

These companies keep talking about professionalism, but keeping candidates waiting endlessly without communication is anything but professional. Students are expected to meet deadlines, respond on time, and make quick decisions, but when it comes to giving results, we're left in limbo for months.

A simple "selected" or "not selected" would save so much time, stress, and confusion.

Any Tips To Improve ?

Is worth it in 2026 for unplaced engineers? I’m thinking about PG-DAC as a fresh start because the current placement situation has been really tough. I just want honest opinions from people who have done CDAC or are preparing for it. Also, if anyone else is unplaced and planning to prepare for C-CAT 2026, let’s connect and support each other through the journey.

I recently appeared for the TCS Prime interview process (TR + MR + HR), and honestly, the experience was very different from what I expected 😅

For the last 2 years, I’ve been focused on:

• Building MERN stack projects
• Practicing DSA
• Learning SQL, APIs, backend concepts, etc.

So before the interview, I was expecting:

• Medium/hard DSA problems
• Deep discussion about projects
• Questions on MERN architecture and development

But the actual Technical Round was much more fundamentals-focused.

Some questions they asked:

• Git commands
• SQL vs NoSQL
• 5th highest salary query
• Pattern printing 🙃
• Why do we use the main() function in C++?

What surprised me most was that they didn’t ask anything about my projects or MERN stack, despite spending so much time preparing in that direction.

Considering it was for TCS Prime, I genuinely expected more discussion around problem-solving, DSA, and project depth. Instead, the interview felt more focused on basics, communication, and clarity of thought.

The MR round was mostly situation-based, and HR asked the usual:

• Open to relocation?
• Comfortable with rotational shifts?
• Any active backlogs?

One thing I learned from this experience:
Real interviews are unpredictable.

Sometimes they’re not about solving the hardest problems. They test fundamentals, confidence, communication, and how you handle pressure.

Would love to know:
For people who appeared for TCS Prime or Ninja interviews recently — was your experience also fundamentals-oriented?
