Hey everyone,

I graduated this year with a B.Tech. in CSE.

During my 6th semester I planned to go abroad for MS in HCI. My parents were supportive, so I spent a lot of time preparing for IELTS, talking to consultants, researching universities, etc. I still attended campus placements, but I wasn't giving it my 100%.

Later I came across a lot of discussions here and elsewhere about how difficult it is to get a job abroad without experience. After thinking about it for a while, I dropped the MS plan.

By then, most of the campus placements were over. I attended a few interviews but couldn't crack them. Almost all of my friends got placed, and I'm one of the few who didn't.

For the last 2 months I've been applying off campus. I've applied to 150+ companies, got only one assessment, and the rest either rejected me or never replied. It's honestly been pretty demotivating.

Today my father told me he's ready to spend around ₹1 lakh if it'll actually help me build my career. He suggested joining a "hot" course/institute which will get me a good package instead of sitting at home applying every day.

Now I'm confused about what to do.

Some people say Java Full Stack is the safest option. Others say Python Full Stack. Some say AI is the future, while others say AI courses are mostly hype. Then there are people saying DevOps/Cloud aren't beginner-friendly.

I'm not looking for a fancy certificate. The main reason I'd join an institute is for:

• structured learning
• interview preparation
• mock interviews
• placement support

So I wanted to ask people who've actually been through this.

If you graduated recently, what would you do in my situation?

1. Are institutes like Coding Ninjas, Crio, QSpiders, GUVI, etc. actually worth paying for?
2. Any good institutes in Bangalore or Chennai that genuinely helped you get interviews?
3. Or is self-learning + projects still the better option?

I'd really appreciate honest opinions. I don't want to waste my father's money by making the wrong decision.

Thanks.

1. The text rendering sh*t(it's in 100% scale). I use Zen browser and man the texts are like 144p.

2. The scaling: The whole UI is small and if I keep the scale to 105% then it gets blurry.

3. Sound: IDK why but why is there these many devices? (Check comment section for image)
4. display: The image quality is not that great compared to windows(yes I dual booted). I played the same file in windows and fedora but the movie quality was far more better in windows. I used VLC player in both OS.
