Gate or Internship/Placement at 3rd Year
Hi everyone, need some advice. I’m currently a 3rd year EEE student at NIT Calicut.
I’ve completed Digital Electronics and Aptitude so far. Companies like Texas Instruments and Qualcomm will be visiting soon, but apart from TI, most core electronics companies mainly hire MTech students. Also, Qualcomm/Intel-type companies expect C, Verilog, COA and projects, but they usually hire only 1–2 BTech students from our college.
After the TI internship drive, I’ll have around 7 months before GATE 2027, and I still have around 8 GATE subjects left.
I’m confused:
Focus on C, Verilog, COA and projects for placements/internships, then prepare for GATE later.
Go all-in on GATE till February, then prepare for placements after GATE.
Follow a hybrid approach—prepare C, Verilog, COA along with 4 GATE subjects this year.
What would you do in my situation? I’d really appreciate any advice.
If i put 6 hours per day till next gate i will be able to complete 90 percent syllabus by first week of january i think..is it possible or am i just planning i can finish it
or should i put full effort to vlsi domain and prepare for next year TI and qualcomm drive
can anyone help and advice me what to do…really confused🙏
