🔍 Step 1: Choose Your Path in IT

1. Software Development (SDE)

 Skills: DSA, System Design, Web Dev (Frontend/Backend)


 Use if: You like building apps, solving algorithmic problems, or want to go into
product-based companies like Google, Microsoft, Amazon.

2. Data Science / Machine Learning / AI

 Skills: Python, Statistics, ML Algorithms, Deep Learning


 Use if: You love math, patterns, and working with data.
 Great for roles like ML Engineer, Data Scientist.

6. Computer Vision / NLP (Specialized AI fields)

 Skills: OpenCV, Deep Learning (CNNs), Transformers


 Use if: You want to work on cutting-edge AI stuff like self-driving cars, image
recognition, or chatbots.

💪 Step 2: How to Compete

🔸1. Master DSA (Data Structures & Algorithms)

 Practice on LeetCode, Codeforces, GFG, AtCoder


 Start with basics → Arrays, Strings, Linked List, Trees, Graphs, DP

🔸2. Build Real Projects

 Start small → clone apps like Spotify, Instagram


 Then go big → Make full-stack apps, deploy them on GitHub

🔸3. Strong GitHub + LinkedIn Profile

 Upload all your projects


 Document them well (README files)
 Post consistently on LinkedIn about your learnings

🔸4. Internships Matter

 Get freelance, remote, open source, unpaid — anything that gives experience
 Use platforms: Internshala, AngelList, LinkedIn, GitHub Issues

🔸5. Contribute to Open Source

 Look into GitHub issues labeled good-first-issue


 Join events like Hacktoberfest

🔸6. Competitive Programming (Optional but helpful for FAANG)


 Platforms: Codeforces, AtCoder, LeetCode
 Join college coding groups or make a peer group

📚 Step 3: What to Read & Learn (Beginner to Advanced)

🛠️Core Skills (Semester 1-4)

 C / C++ / Python
 Data Structures & Algorithms
 OOP Concepts
 DBMS, OS, CN
 SQL

🌐 Development Stack (Semester 3+)

 Web Dev: HTML, CSS, JS, React, Node.js, MongoDB


 App Dev (optional): Flutter / React Native
 Version Control: Git, GitHub

🧠 Advanced Areas (Pick 1-2 based on your interest)

 Machine Learning / Deep Learning


 Cloud: AWS / Azure / GCP
 Cybersecurity
 System Design
 Blockchain / Web3 (if interested in decentralized tech)

 Master 1 tech stack (Full Stack Web/ML/etc.)
 Build 2–3 solid projects
 Apply for small internships

📅 3rd Year:

 Advanced topics (ML, Cloud, DevOps, etc.)


 Resume building
 Start applying for good internships
 Open source contributions

📅 4th Year:

 Placement prep
 Mock interviews
 System design (if going for SDE roles)
 Networking on LinkedIn

🧠 Best Resources to Use

📘 DSA:

 DSA Sheet by Love Babbar


 LeetCode (interview prep list)

💻 Web Dev:

 freeCodeCamp, MDN Docs


 Full Stack Open (from Helsinki University)

📊 ML/AI:
