@shibaprasad @mastodonindians interesting. I'm studying CSE and as one of the few in my class who took CSE because of real interest in computers, I'm also thinking of writing GATE. I'm not interested in higher studies (I can't for another time sit around studying, memorizing things that I feel I won't need in my domain) but for jobs in PSU. Though they pay less, they can give me a feeling of stability. I'm still 50:50 about what I'm going to do once I graduate...
@arunmani @mastodonindians That's okay. You should do it. The good thing about CSE is getting a job is comparatively easier. You can try for PSUs but also in parallel have a job if the former didn't happen at first attempt.
As I said in the post, I feel government jobs should be treated as a plan B, and not plan A. You shouldn't abandon everything in life and only prepare for government jobs. That is the only problem, and IMO a lot of people (atleast from the core sector) do that.
@shibaprasad @mastodonindians thanks!
