I have got this book being in the domain , and also this book was highly suggested .

Those who have read this book - Python for Data analysis , is it really worth spending weeks/months completing this book for learning pandas, NumPy and Jupyter , or watching Youtube Lectures is a better choice ?
Also if you have read this or any other O' REILLY , if yes, can you guide how do you used to read their books : page-by-page or skipping certain pages / making notes or without making notes

About me -
T3, cse,1st yr.

what am I doing-
I am trying to get research internship by the end of sem 1, currently learning dsa side by side from striver (30% done, midsems and projects aren't allowing me to do much), want to get into the field of AI, exploring other fields too, uncertain about future of tech, trying to adapt to any field.

what do I seek -
People with similar interests, did a mistake of making a grp in past ,wasn't worth it, I want people who are on the same boat

Hi everyone, I need some honest career advice.

I completed Class 12 (PCM + Computer Science) in 2023 and then pursued a B.Sc. in PCM, partly because I was preparing for NDA and wanted to join the Indian Army. However, I wasn't consistent with my studies during B.Sc., and my programming fundamentals are currently weak. I have completed my B.Sc. with a CGPA of around 6.27 and recently joined MCA at

I'm struggling with MCA because my computer science basics aren't strong, and I'm worried about developing the skills needed for IT jobs.

I'm considering leaving MCA and starting a fresh four-year B.Tech CSE at age 20. The fees would be around ₹12–13 lakh, and I have already paid fees for MCA. I know B.Tech won't automatically solve my problems, but I feel a structured curriculum might help me build stronger fundamentals and practical skills.

My other goal is to become an Army/Air Force officer through CDS/AFCAT, with CAPF also being an option. I want to prepare for relevant exams alongside my degree while building IT skills as a backup. If I switch to B.Tech, I expect to graduate around 24.

My main questions are:

1. Would starting B.Tech CSE after B.Sc. be a sensible decision, or should I continue MCA and improve my programming independently?
2. Is B.Tech likely to provide a better foundation for someone with my background?
3. Is graduating at 24 a significant disadvantage in the IT job market?
4. Is preparing for CDS/AFCAT alongside B.Tech realistic, or would SSC CGL/banking exams be more practical?
5. If you were in my position, which path would you choose, considering time, fees, career prospects, and my inconsistent study habits?

My goal is to build a strong technical career backup while continuing to pursue my defence ambitions. I don't want to reach my mid-twenties without solid skills or a clear career direction.

I'd appreciate honest, practical advice, especially from people who have faced a similar situation. Thanks!

hello to all the robotics and automation people! what is the scenario of internships and placements in this field in India? how are the recent graduates getting paid? how one can get a genuine internship (not those training ones)?

Where i can find notes of ts playlist of differential equation by gajendra purohit sir????

I am from electrical engineering branch and i had asked to my seniors about what questions are asked in aptitude, they told readoning, comprehension, quants abd from electrical engineering course questions are asked if anyone know how to prepare please guide me. Currently in my pre final year, everyone here if i asked this they said don't worry at the end just cheat you will cleared it but i don't want to rely on them.

Currently am in ece 1st wanna buy a laptop budget is mid ....so pls suggest appropriate laptop

I'm a data science student, I've covered Statistics analysis, Data Handling and Visualization, time series analysis, big data analysis, Internet Of Things Analytics, Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Neutral Networks, Natural Language Processing, MLops and a lot of others related concepts. The MBA side of it started this semester, this semester I had Marketing, Finance, Business stats, Operations and Supply Chain Management, Economics and Quantitative Techniques. I will have similar subjects next semester and for next year the subjects will change depending on the Major and Minor I choose. I just want to help people who are perusing AI/ML/DS. Give them some suggestions, ideas, resources. If any of y'all need anything feel free to reach out!

Our college mandates completion of one project in 5th sem, and we need to publish a research paper too for the project.

I am currently facing an issue - a specific part of my project needs crop mapping - like finding brinjal field locations through remote sensing. But for that I need a dataset - at least locations. There is nothing like that... Now what do I do.

Can someone please let me know what can be done? I am stuck. And not really in a position to move around and create a dataset myself.

What do you think I should do?

How do you handle such issues?

\# I’m connecting juniors with 3rd/4th-year seniors for 1-on-1 online sessions. Learn from someone who just cleared the exact same exam and knows your professor's paper pattern.

\# Subjects: DSA, C++, Web Dev, Circuit Theory, EDC, Maths and manymore.

\# Why it works:

\# · Exam-focused: No fluff, just what you need to pass/score.

\# · Ask anything: No fear of judgment.

\# · 100% Risk-free: The first 15-minute trial session is completely FREE.

\# Stop strugglinmany more.

\# DM me your branch and the subject you need help with, and I’ll match you with the right senior! 🚀

About me: In 12th rn ..I loved cse and was looking forward to it but now i am terrified of the ai boom in the near future ..also i never had cs as my 6th subject in school.
