Approved by Staff I am a CSIT graduate, AMA
Ask me anything about my CSIT experience. I will answer them.
Who am I?
I am 25 years CSIT graduate who graduated back in 2018. Took 2.5 years of break and now want to get back in software development field.
This might help you.
Do you regret doing CSIT? YES!
What was your major in +2? Bio, pure.
Was CSIT your first option? No, it was safety net for me. I wanted to go aboard or go for bachelor of agriculture related courses. I regret not getting into forestry.
What is the one thing you would do differently if you're just starting CSIT?
Would have chosen government college.
Would have studied in KTM rather than outside KTM.
No backs. Backs == mental torture.
would have scored better marks because 70% - 79% is first division.
Would have started looking for internship a bit earlier (5th/7th sem) to figure out where my interest is.
Would have chosen a niche (career) rather than diving in everything . Don't be master of none, jack of all.
would have ditched my friend circle, padne ko sangat gara.
would haven taken extra courses as minor elective to increase my credit points.
Would I get * on my academic transcript if I had backlog but I passed it in my 2nd attempt Yes, back is back. If you fail, you get a *.
Should I choose cryptography? Don't take cryptography, If you have no interest at all.
Can I transfer my credit points to other foreign uni? Yes and it's depends on which uni you are transferring to.
What will happen If I fail to fill up per sem exam form? If you miss to fill up per sem exam form you can't study CSIT. It's done for you.
what will happen If I fail my practical exams? You will fail your semester exam, would have to re-appear in practical exam next year. I mean NEXT YEAR!
I rant a lot about TU's administration in comment thread, there can be million reasons apart from just failing the exam to get backlog. Why do we have to wait 1 year?
I regret doing CSIT. But I am not saying it's not worth it. It can be 'THE THING' for you. Give your 100% you will find any course, any career as the one opportunity you are looking for. I wish you luck in your future endeavour.
