CSE/IT Branches College Guidance
First of all, make an email account but make sure the user ID is a proper short username, for example, ni6hant, sus4ma. This is very common to replace a character in your first name with a number(avoid symbols), and keep that for life. Make sure it's not very common by googling a bit around, and start with your email ID.
The only reason you don't have high marks up is you just fell a bit behind. There is in no way in hell that you will fail a subject or even have low marks unless you actively try not to.
#TODO: But in short, focus on your attendance, see what the teachers teach but still try to find the previous year question papers to practice.
#TODO:
#1: Set your username for life and use that to create email ID, GitHub Profile, Hacker Rank, LinkedIn and all other developer profiles. Add 2FA wherever you can.
Now, you will have your own email id with that short username. This should be yours forever. Make sure to add 2FA(SMS-verification while logging in all the time) to this email ID as this will be used to create other account.
From here, create all other accounts starting with on github.com, linkedin.com, hackerrank.com, leetcode.com and any other you come across all the time.
If you are doing courses on other sites, remember to use your actual correct names for the certificates.
#2. Keep your college marks up. It's not that difficult.
You need those high marks to be able to sit in many job interviews in the first place.
Deemed College: Affiliated to itself and teachers set final question papers like IITs, NITs
It's not difficult to keep the highest marks in it if you do all that.
Note: If class gets boring, take out the same subject being taught there and study it for a better interview or programming level.
Affiliate College: Final Question Papers are set by the university.
II. College Marks and college subjects
Since college is affiliated to MAKAUT, the high marks exams should be set by MAKAUT and not the college teachers, I am unsure about the internal exams but the following approach should still work:
PREVIOUS YEAR QUESTION PAPERS:
And when you are close to your examinations just attempt them and nothing else in a mock exam setting.
Keep your attendance full:
Avoid bunks and mass bunks. Some idiot will always ruin the mass bunk and the class will be counted.
Don’t come home while your classes are going on, no matter if it’s a marriage, diwali, holi or whatever. If there are no classes, sure, come home if you don’t have an internship or other course, but in no case, miss your attendance.
If the class is a joke, sit in the back and study the same subjects the teachers is teaching you alongwith the Swayam IIT certifications above.
#3: Start Learning your CS/IT subjects on your own. Programming is like cycling, you have to ride it to learn it.
Finally, we are in the section that is most important here. It's very important to know what NOT TO DO MORE THAN what to do.
#TODO: I will elaborate in details later but for now do the Python Programming Course on Mooc.Fi. It's free.
-
#1 Course: Start Here: Python Programming Mooc 2006 by Mooc.Fi (University of Helsinki)
I have already completed this, you can find my notebook and review of the course here but in short it's the best hands on course out there and there is recorded lecture but you don't need to even watch it(I didn't).
This is a very very hands on course.

To sort this into the page:
#TODO after admission:
I. Swayam IIT Certification
1) Make one email id with 2FA and link that you all below.
2) Confirm with digilocker your details and if it's correct, create APAAR ID.
Double make sure details are correct and if it's not, create a ticket.
3) Create Swayam account and link the APAAR ID when you apply for courses or before.
4) Select the same courses for CS(affiliated with IIT) as are being tought in your classes on Swayam and start enrolling in them at the same time as your semesters. These will give you certificates from IIT for Rs.1000 per certificates and will also help with your classes study as you need top marks to be accepted in companies.
III. Paying for courses and websites online or offline:
Almost all expensive subscriptions to websites (more than Rs.1000 a month) is usually a scam. Check online reviews before even considering them AND ALWAYS TALK WITH ni6hant BEFORE PAYING FOR ANYTHING ONLINE OR OFFLINE.
Commission or affiliate marketing is when someone is paid to promote something even if it’s absolute shit. This is the reason many will try to “refer” you to some institute courses and you can never be sure if they are doing it out of their goodwill or they have a hidden motive.
I will write down stuff I feel is good to pay for here.
