Girl in Mechanical Engg

I'm a first year student in mechanical engineering; second year aane wala hai and I'm really stressed out.

I've always felt drawn to the idea of mechanics and how systems work and so I decided to take up ME , Despite everyone saying ki mech is not for girls, field job, less package etc.

First year was all about cgpa,exams,labs,"exploring" due to which time ka pata hi nahi chala.

Now I'm feeling really aimless Idk but I'm not able to enjoy what I thought I would've loved to pursue.

Mere batchmates coding,dsa,hackathons etc kar rahe I've no idea inn chizo ke baare me (my fault maine zyada interaction nahi kari na hi dost banane ki koshish) and I'm still stuck here totally clueless

Can I go down the tech route? I've heard the job market is cooked but the packages are still so lucrative

Or, should I prepare for gate psu and government jobs? (I'm actually hoping for a desk job or atleast something that doesn't have field work coz I don't think I can actually handle that)

Please guide me mujhe kya karna chahiye? Can both tech placements and gate mechanical prep go on together? And kya inke alawa aur bhi options hai?

Please help me out. I'd be extremely grateful for your guidance.

Gate 2027 or System engineer at TCS

Dear Reddit community,

I’m currently working at Tata Consultancy Services as a System Engineer with a package of 7 LPA, and my in-hand salary is around 52k per month.

I graduated in 2024 with a B.Tech degree. During college, I mainly aimed for Product-Based Companies and targeted SDE/Software Engineer roles, but unfortunately, I wasn’t able to crack them, partly due to my skill level at that time.

Recently, I attempted GATE 2026 (CSE) and scored 41 marks. At present, my domain in TCS is Data Engineering.

I wanted to ask for genuine guidance from experienced people here:

Is Data Engineering a good domain in the long run?

Do Product-Based Companies hire Data Engineers frequently?

If they do, are the salaries and growth opportunities comparable to SDE roles?

Would it be better to continue building my career in Data Engineering, or should I seriously prepare for GATE 2027?

I’m open to honest suggestions and advice from people who have experience in these fields.

Thank you.

MBA after IE in big 2026?

Is IE good if I am thinking of going for an MBA after IE? And I know it's not the best move in this economy, but I really like the idea of working in management, and don't really see a better path to it, and I mean, good MBA comes with pretty good networking and is generally worth it is what I have been told...

Is this a shit plan of action? Am I a bit delusional?

Is mechatronics in manipal main campus worth it?

Need all the seniors and people with any knowledge about the branch to step in for this one please help me🙏🏻.Down 4 years, is this btech degree in mechatronics worth it?? Is it very hectic or hard to manage 3 different subs(electrical mechanical and cs) compared to other branches like core mechanical, maybe cse or ai and robotics, or are the levels way higher? Also, during my research, I found out that pursuing this degree, u basically become " a jack of all trades and a master of none," and idk how I feel about this. Does india have a job market for this type of degree and personally speaking I dont really wanna go for the mechanical or electrical side of this degree I wanna land an IT realated job so does a market like that even exist for this degree? Also what kind of median placements and most importantly what kind of jobs/work can u expect after finishing this I don't really plan on a masters yet might change my mind after working a few years, for now I just want to be really clear of what I'm getting myself into. Also, on every student asking for BRANCH UPGRADES, let me ask this on behalf of everyone. Before sem3, is it realistic to think ab achieving them say i push myself will i b able to get into maybe eee or ece? Also, im pretty sure this sounds dumb but maybe Cse? Please guide me as I'm lowk clueless rn. Thank you

Anyone who can help me with this?

Any 2k24/2k25cels or IT profs. who were getting decent college and were considering taking drop?? doesn't matter what they pursued after that...

  1. Drop and aim 97tile+(practically), to join a decent NIT/IIIT or a good post NIT-tier college.
  2. Join a T3 mech.(i like mech.) and side-by-side pursue filmmaking(not backing off) to have multiple paths open for me. Grind will be strong and only focused on BTech and film.
  3. Join a T4 CSE with amazing campus(and almost khud ka college+minimal to 0 fees) and too, pursue filmmaking.

Is planning for post-grad a good option in this era where already more jobs are taken every year by AI and I'll just be delaying without much return as UG ngas are grabbing high CTC anyways.

Also taking drop would delay my film thing which isn't much preferred for me.

What If Afforestation Beat Deforestation in India?

What If Afforestation Really Outpaced Deforestation in India?

India’s official forest and tree cover data suggests that green cover has increased, which sounds like excellent news at first glance. But many environmentalists argue that this does not automatically mean our natural forests are recovering. A plantation of eucalyptus, bamboo, or other commercial species is not the same as an old natural forest with rich biodiversity, stable soil, water retention, and wildlife habitat.

That creates an important question: should we judge forest policy mainly by total tree cover, or by the ecological quality of the land being restored? If afforestation is growing faster than deforestation on paper, but natural forests are still being fragmented or replaced, can we really call that a success?

Question arises :-

Are we actually restoring forests, or just increasing the number of trees on paper?

What should matter more in forest policy: total tree cover, or the quality of the ecosystem?

I didn't get an intern and most prob i won't get any placements.
My parents are telling me to give GATE exam and try to get into an IIT.
Is it really worth it? Like what is the average salary hike of after doing MTech and all?

To seniors in Core Branches (Mech/Civil/EEE) at Tier 2/Tier 3 or below colleges. How cooked are you? Regrets? Please answer

To seniors in Core Branches (Mech/Civil/EEE) at Tier 2/Tier 3 or below colleges. How cooked are you? Regrets?

Appeared for 12th boards this year .i Fumbled all my exams . Scoring super low. A drop year is an option but i just want to start my college life and move on.

So my options right now are either taking a Core branch (Mech/Civil/industrial) at a decent Tier 1.5/2 college, OR stretching for a Tech branch (CSE/ISE/AI-ML) at a lower Tier 2/3 college .

So my questions are.

1.Whats your plan? Are you grinding DSA/WebDev to escape into IT ,trying for core companies or just prepping for CAT/GATE or MS abroad?

Do you regret not taking a lower college for a tech branch?

​Do IT companies let you sit for campus coding rounds?

Riyal🥀 🥀

I am in my third year of my BTech and still the professor told everyone to write the programming code by their own hand means handwritten and tomorrow is the submission this things hurts me that even if you are in a computer engineering still you have to write codes from your own hand this is the brutal reality of all private Engineering colleges, tier 3 and many of the colleges also of tier 2, still providing this kind of facility, kind of Curriculum to make student write the code and return and submit it to gain the marks and CGPA that still is not much important when it comes to getting getting a placement you just need 60% for the service based companies which just hardly arrives in this tier 3 institutions.

🚨 URGENT UPDATE: My Wife’s Cancer is Progressing – We are Fighting Against Time

Hello everyone,

I am writing this with a heart full of gratitude but a soul crushed by fear. We are sharing this crucial update to keep all of you informed about Shahin's current medical situation.

First, a special thanks for Raheel. Because of your incredible support and prayers, my 1.5-year-old son Raheel is finally doing better and is now stable. However, as one battle settles, my wife Shahin’s fight against cancer has become immensely difficult. We are back in a terrifying situation. Shahin remains completely bed-bound at home, and her condition is deteriorating day by day.

🛑 Latest PET-CT Scan Findings & Medical Situation (Updated May 2026)

1.The recent PET-CT Scan conducted on May 6, 2026, has brought devastating news:

2.Disease Progression: Shahin's cancer was already metastatic, but compared to her previous scans, it is now spreading aggressively.

3.New Tumors & Infection in Breast: A large soft tissue mass (2.4 x 3.3 cm) has developed in her right breast along with new nodular lesions on the skin. To make matters worse, pus is discharging from her chest again, indicating a severe infection.

Spread to Neck & Liver: The cancer is actively spreading to new areas. Along with the existing hepatic parenchymal (liver) lesions, the disease has now reached her neck, where it is growing in the lymph nodes, along with the appearance of several new nodes.

4.Spine Collapse & Agonizing Pain: Multiple parts of her spine (Dorsolumbar vertebrae) have partially collapsed. Her pain has become completely unbearable; she cannot move even an inch without screaming in agony.

🔬 Treatment Update: No Surgery & The Purpose of the Liquid Biopsy

1.Surgery Not Possible: Doctors initially considered a surgical intervention to manage the progression. However, due to Shahin’s extreme weight loss and weak physical condition, surgery is no longer a viable option.

2.Liquid Biopsy (Submitted 5 Days Ago): While Shahin is already undergoing Targeted Immunotherapy, the rapid progression forced us to submit samples for a Liquid Biopsy five days ago. This test was critical to help doctors identify exactly which alternate medicines or formulations will work effectively at this advanced stage. We are currently awaiting these reports, after which the treatment plan and expenses are expected to rise significantly.

🙏 An Emotional Thank You: Your Support Has Kept Us Alive.

I want to express my deepest gratitude to each and every one of you with folded hands. Initially, I managed to spend ₹11 Lakhs entirely on my own by exhausting all my savings and taking multiple personal loans.

Since then, the treatment expenses over the last 3 months have escalated to ₹22 to ₹23 Lakhs. This massive extension of her treatment was made possible purely because of the ₹18 Lakhs raised through your overwhelming public support. Without your kindness, I would not have been able to sustain her treatment this far.

However, as we face these new medical complications and upcoming major treatments, my resources are completely depleted. I beg you—please do not leave our side during this dark phase. Shahin is fighting with everything she has just to see her baby boy grow up. Please help us save her life.

What If India's Plastic Waste Disappeared ?

What if all plastic waste in India disappeared overnight? Would the problem actually be solved?

I think many people misunderstand the plastic crisis.

We assume the problem is the visible waste on roads, in drains, and in rivers. So naturally, the solution seems simple: collect everything and recycle it.

But is that really the core issue?

India’s EPR policy is built on a straightforward idea: if a company puts plastic into the market, it should be responsible for collecting and processing an equivalent amount.

On paper, that sounds like a near-perfect solution.

Yet even with targets rising from 25% to 70% to 100% collection responsibility, serious questions remain:

- How much plastic is actually being collected?

- How much is truly recycled?

- How much is just moving through paperwork?

- How reliable are EPR certificates?

- Are informal waste pickers being integrated or ignored?

So here’s the real question:

Is plastic pollution mainly a waste management problem, or is it fundamentally a product design and consumption problem?

Curious to hear what others think.
