Mod Post Welcome to r/BTech – A Dedicated Space for Engineering and BTech Students

12 Upvotes

We’re thrilled to announce the official reopening of r/BTech, a space created specifically for engineering and BTech students to discuss, learn, and support each other in their academic and professional journeys.

r/BTech was born out of a need for a focused and supportive environment tailored to the unique challenges faced by engineering and BTech students. Initially part of r/Btechtards, the need for a dedicated space became clear as we saw a growing number of serious academic queries and discussions getting lost amid the memes and light-hearted content.

We believe that r/BTech will become a valuable resource for all engineering and BTech students, providing a space for both learning and collaboration. Your participation is essential in shaping this community into a thriving hub of knowledge and support.

General What are some trusted niche Instagram content creators or youtube channels you follow

• Upvotes

Nowadays lot of new and popular content creators keep popping up on both Instagram and youtube. mostly they make us click their content by clickbait or catchy title or captions.

it has become harder to follow multiple people and trust one person as seems like everyone has taken a responsibility to get us tier 3 students a job or a guarantee to crack placement where no on campus opportunity is available.

drop your recommendations could be anyone for dsa,roadmap,resume hacks, placement stratergy, cold email , linkedin related content any specific field.

  1. name those content creators who really helped you in some way and what's best about them
  2. how do they stand out from others
  3. do you prefer short instant content (reels or shorts) or long youtube videos which cover depth
  4. opinion on foreign creators and indian ones

General What's something niche you studied after btech?

1 Upvotes

I graduated my btech this year and am doing full time now.

What's something you or someone you know studied after btech that's really niche and creative. I'm honestly not wanting to continue this career path anymore. My parents are forcing me to do Mtech or Mba.

I was thinking I'd do something fun like animation or smth like that(not that i know sh*t abt it).

I wanna explore/research some options that you guys have seen work out.

PS: I don't wanna be unemployed. So suggest smthing that's actually worth it.

General Avoid MVSR College (Hyderabad) at all costs. Do not gamble with your life and peace of mind.

Post image
1 Upvotes

If you are an EAMCET aspirant or someone looking at options during counseling, let this be crystal clear: Avoid MVSR Engineering College at any cost.

What happened during their recent Sangamam fest—where a poorly set up metal lighting truss collapsed during a Dandiya event, taking the life of a first-year EEE student and injuring several others—isn't just an "accident." It is the ultimate proof of an administration's criminal negligence and zero regard for human life.

Look at the psychological and physical toll of choosing a place like this:

Your safety is treated as worthless: They will collect heavy fees from you, but when it comes to basic structural safety, vendor checks, or campus maintenance, they cut corners to save money. If they can’t even secure a simple event stage, how can you trust them with your safety for 4 full years?

A toxic, cash-grab culture: Day-to-day facilities are broken. Labs lack proper working equipment, grounds are ignored, and essential staff like bus drivers aren't even paid on time. You pay a heavy price financially, only to get absolute zero support in return.

Constant anxiety over administration apathy: Managing an engineering degree is already stressful; doing it under a management that only cares about profits and washes its hands off accountability adds perpetual mental exhaustion.

CSE / IT What the heck does AKTU expect from engineering students?

1 Upvotes

​

Seriously, what are AKTU officials thinking?

According to the activity-point guidelines for the 2026–27 batch and beyond, regular four-year B.Tech students need 100 activity points to receive their degree, with a maximum of 20 points per activity. That means completing at least five different activities.

Each activity requires 80–90 hours of engagement over a minimum of two weeks. Do the math, and that's potentially 400–450 hours of additional work, on top of college classes, assignments, practicals, exam preparation, projects, and internships.

And the best part? Our teachers have explicitly told us that we're responsible for finding and completing these activities ourselves. The college isn't obligated to arrange them.

Then what exactly is the university's role in implementing this requirement?

Look at the activities listed: developing water management systems, waste management, promoting tourism, teaching rural school students, and so on.

I'm a CSE student specialising in AI and ML. I don't mind teaching underprivileged students or contributing to society. But why can't these activities be designed around our actual skills?

If AKTU wants us to promote water conservation or waste management, why not ask CSE students to develop websites, applications, data dashboards, or AI-based solutions to address these problems? That would let us contribute to society while applying what we're actually learning.

Instead, some activities may require us to organise campaigns, arrange resources, coordinate with local communities, and find organisations willing to let us participate. Who's supposed to arrange the dustbins, posters, transportation, and other resources? Are we expected to pay for everything ourselves? And what happens when we can't find a suitable organisation?

We're already spending a substantial amount on our education. My four-year B.Tech expenses, including college, hostel, and other costs, will be around ₹8 lakh. Not everyone can afford additional expenses for activities that the university expects us to arrange independently.

I understand the importance of social responsibility. My problem isn't with social work; it's with making hundreds of hours of potentially unrelated work mandatory for graduation without providing proper guidance, opportunities, or support.

We already need to attend classes, prepare for exams, build projects, develop technical skills, and pursue internships. Now we must independently find and complete five different activities as well.

If AKTU genuinely wants us to contribute to society, it should partner with NGOs and local authorities, provide clear instructions and logistical support, and offer activities relevant to different engineering branches. Let CSE students build technological solutions, and let students from other branches contribute their expertise where appropriate.

We're engineering students. Why not make us solve social problems using engineering instead of making us independently organise activities with no clear connection to our degrees?

Am I missing something here, or is this requirement genuinely poorly planned? I'd like to hear what other AKTU students, especially those from the 2026–27 batch, think about this.

People from tech industries,

What advice you have for a student who is a CS engineering 2nd year from tier 3 college with no guaranteed placement. What should be he learning? How will he reach to the goal of achieving a good package?

The college just don't take any efforts to educate us in the sense that we can at least compete with other students in that sense.

In starting of my college i was so excited to learn the code with enthusiasm but as the course of time, I didn't. First i felt anxious but if I don't get through

Now,

I am feeling nothing, just nothing no ambition, no goals, no sorrow, just boredom

The once who are familiar with such situation would understand.

The experienced once, your younger brother needs a little bit help here.

(Funny fact) I wasn't even allowed to bring my laptop to school in first year.
