Hello everyone, I am a fresher graduating in 2027. I did my B.Tech in CSE from a Tier 3 college.

So, I am in my final year, and I have been placed at TCS for the Digital role through an on-campus drive. Tbh, TCS and Infosys were some of the best opportunities we had as students at our college, but now I am very worried about certain things. Can someone answer my questions below?

I have been hearing that TCS is the worst company to get placed in because it is a career killer. How much of this is true? And if it is true, can someone also tell me what I should do?

I have also heard about the long waiting time for joining letters from TCS.

I think I am stuck because I try to apply to companies off-campus, only to get ghosted by them, and I can't sit for on-campus placement drives because my college has a one-person-one-placement policy.

Should I prepare for GATE and aim for GATE 2027? Should i go all in for off campus? Can someone give me genuine advice about how I can make the best of what I have now?

same as title

Hey, I'm a CS student. I want to build something useful, not a project that just sits on my resume and helps nobody.

So before I build anything, I want to hear from real people about real frustrations. Not big life problems, the small, everyday stuff that quietly wastes your time or energy and you've just stopped complaining about.

What's yours? One thing. Doesn't have to be tech-related at all.

Drop it below. Reading every comment seriously.
