Students’ Speak: Not getting targeted college, don’t worry

By: Shubham Singla

Nowadays most of the students are trying to beat one another in education by giving a very tough competition. It’s obvious that some will get a good college and some wouldn’t as we all know there is very high competition among students and it’s difficult to stand there and it’s alright if you don’t get a decent college of your choice.

Now the thing is you don’t have to regret your past experience but you have to build your future right now.

Stop blaming yourself

Believe me, if you don't get a good college then it’s not your fault, there are already very few seats in decent colleges. Now the thing is what to do next and what steps should you take to make your future bright. As you land in a college of not your choice, you have to face some challenges like you will not get a good faculty who will teach you well and also you wouldn’t get a great infrastructure and campus and most important placements.

Skill matters the most

Talking about placements, one of the most important parts of college life. When you get a low-grade college then it’s obvious that placements would not be decent, but don’t dishearten and keep in mind that in college, the thing that matters is your skills, not the infrastructure or the campus and not even the faculty. If you make yourself so good that you can crack interviews of MNCs like Google then college doesn’t even matter. There are a lot of students who got placed in such companies even without studying in IITs, NITs or other such top colleges because they focus on themselves and not on college.

Learn from friends

Now to do this, all you have to do is make contacts with your seniors who will guide you on what to do next or what not to as they know about college more than you. For getting good placements, you have to focus more on coding whether you are from CSE or IT profile. Even if you are from ECE, EEE or ME, you have to do coding to get placed in giant companies.

You have to learn from your friends what they are doing in top colleges and if you don’t have any friends in top colleges then comes the important role of Google. You can search for anything on the browser to learn great things, even if you want to do any course then you can easily find on Youtube and other such platforms for almost free of cost.
