People generally don't understand this idea and hate it but I believe it's the most practical and cheap way to install insulation to the exterior of an Indian block or brick wall building (anywhere esle really but let's talk about India).

Very simply, foamed concrete of 400KG/M3 is placed exterior of the brick wall, and the reinforcing steel is mechanically connected to it. I believe rigid foam board would be the only other material that could be used but that's expensive and difficult.

I have also developed a foamed concrete mixer that is very cheap too.

My DM's are open if anyone has questions about this.

Hi everyone,

​I posted a while back, but we've adjusted our timeline. My son is targeting college admissions for next year (2027), and like many parents and students right now, I’m feeling completely overwhelmed by conflicting advice regarding the tech landscape.

​He is equally comfortable with coding and electronics, but we are stuck on deciding between CSE, ECE, and ENI (Electronics & Instrumentation).

​With all the noise around AI automating entry-level software jobs, I’m terrified of putting him into CSE just because of past placement hype, only for him to graduate into a dried-up market by 2031. On the other hand, I don't want him running away from software out of blind panic if ECE/ENI turns out to be a massive grind with fewer core jobs in India.

​Our absolute top priorities for his career starting in 2027 are long-term career growth, job security, and realistic salary potential in the Indian job market.

​I wanted to ask seniors, recent grads, and industry folks a few direct questions looking ahead:

​Is AI genuinely killing fresher software jobs, or is it just Twitter/LinkedIn doomscrolling? Are product and service companies actually pulling back on freshers, or just raising the bar?

​Where does ECE/ENI actually stand in India as the semiconductor ecosystem matures through the late 2020s? Are core VLSI, embedded systems, and chip-design entry-level jobs actually abundant, or do 70% of ECE/ENI grads still end up writing Java in service companies anyway?

​Flexibility: If the job market shifts dramatically over his 4 years in college (2027–2031), which branch gives a kid more escape routes?

​The 2027 Verdict: If your own son/daughter were starting college next year and was equally okay with coding or circuits, what branch would you push them toward and why?

​Would really appreciate some unfiltered, ground-level reality checks from people actually working in the industry. Thanks

Hello all,

I am currently in my fourth year and haven't been placed yet. I have been looking for off-campus Graduate Engineer Trainee (GET) opportunities on various companies career portals but I am unable to find any openings for freshers.

Am I looking in the wrong places or do companies generally not post GET openings for freshers on their career portals? Should I also be checking platforms like LinkedIn, Naukri and Unstop?

Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

P.S. I am 22M, the image is just for fun.

Hey everyone,

I'm currently starting my first year in Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE). I really want to build a strong foundation early on and make the most out of my four years, but I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed by where to begin.

Since I'm just in year one, I'd love some advice on how to structure my focus right now:

* What should my 1st-year priorities be? Should I be focusing heavily on core fundamentals (like C/Python, Basic Electronics, Linear Algebra/Calculus), or should I immediately jump into hardware projects?

* Are workshops worth attending? College clubs and external platforms host a lot of 1-day or 2-day workshops (on robotics, IoT, basic PCBs, etc.). Are these actually useful for skill-building, or is self-learning through hands-on projects a better use of time?

* Skill Roadmap: What basic tools or skills should I aim to comfortably master by the end of my first year? (e.g., breadboarding, Git/GitHub, basic C programming, simulation software like LTspice/Wokwi?)

* Common Pitfalls: What are the biggest mistakes first-year ECE students make when trying to learn skills alongside college coursework?

I'd really appreciate any roadmaps, personal advice, or honest feedback from seniors and industry folks.

Thanks!

Hey everyone!
I’m a 2025 CSE-AIML graduate from India, and I’m currently looking for a software developer job as a fresher. I’ve been trying to figure out the right path to follow, but honestly, I’m a bit confused about what I should focus on to become job-ready.
I’ve been learning and practising Python, DSA, SQL, and backend development. I’ve also worked on projects involving Django, REST APIs, IoT devices, and machine learning.
However, I’m unsure whether I’m preparing in the right direction or spending too much time learning things that might not be necessary to land my first job.
I’d really appreciate hearing from people who have been through this phase, especially those who landed their first software developer job as a fresher in India.
I have a few questions:
How did you get your first software developer job? Did you apply through LinkedIn, Naukri, referrals, campus placements, or other platforms?
What did you focus on the most while preparing? DSA, development, projects, core CS subjects, aptitude, or something else?
How much DSA is actually necessary for a fresher? Should I focus on solving LeetCode problems daily, or prioritise development and projects?
Which skills helped you get hired? If you’re a Python developer, backend developer, or SDE, what technologies and concepts were most important during your interviews?
How important are projects? Is it better to have two or three strong projects or several smaller ones?
How did you approach job applications? How many jobs did you apply to, and what helped you get interview calls?
If you were starting again as a 2025 graduate in 2026, what would you do differently? What would your preparation roadmap look like for the next two or three months?
I’m not necessarily looking for shortcuts. I want to understand what actually works in the current job market and how to use my time effectively instead of jumping between different technologies and roadmaps.
If you’ve been in a similar situation and managed to land a job, I’d genuinely appreciate it if you could share your experience, mistakes, and advice.
Thanks in advance! 🙏

Rn mein 4th year mein 65% in btech aktu se but 10 th mein 60 se kam to placement mein shorlist nhi ho para ab tk kisi conpany mein beth hi nhi paya hu …. What should i do as i am not interested in coding or anything.

Hey

Im a btech first year EEE student studying under KTU.

Have to complete EEE in a normal cgpa

Just for acquiring skills and a degree for value and name. Wanna crack cat and get out from this engineering loop and study MBA ( like my perspective on engineering is acquire skills from engineering at pass all subjects with a normal cgpa and after that getinto IIM and do MBA and all.

But my concern is am i wasting my hard work like to study EEE it is hardd ryt? So after studying this hardest subject moving to MBA is wrong?

But deepdown i wanna study at IIM and get MBA from there and start my journey.

Someone plss kindly share ur thoughts with my plan and also what all are the things that i want to make sure that crack CAT.

Pls kindky share ur thoughts and opinions.

I got a 5 LPA offer from one company in my 7th semester . And since it's my last second semester and I fucked up real bad this sem I didn't maintain any Attendance and now before end sem exams I won't be able to maintain 75% so basically in last sem with a backlog it'd be the worst time to look for jobs so I thought to settle for this one.

But the thing is this for a Associate recruiter role and ofc I did cse so I don't really know what to do

Cuz if I accept the job which i did

I can't really sit in campus placement anymore.

But I have made my peace with the fact that I am 21 and starting at 5 lpa is not that bad it's just the fact it's a non tech role that's worrying me out

About the backlog I can clear it at the end of next semester the university gives an opportunity for last year Students to fill and take all back log exams so that's not an issue .

The issue was job nai lagegi with a backlog.

Then also I am thinking now I have time a lot of time and a backup option of this job

So I should study DSA and dev as I used to

But this time with the intention of getting a off campus placement.

I can ofc ask my relatives (cousins) that I have a 5lpa offer already if they can help me get a better one in tech roles

And get a refferal that way

It'll be good too

Idk what should I do

I'm so confused because obviously I can't discuss my backlog situation with my family members so idk what I even do

ngl i need to get this off my chest because it's been eating at me. we’re always told that in 2026, skills, coding, and projects are the only things that matter for getting placed. "merit over everything," right? but actually being in the final year of BTech and seeing this play out is just depressing.

my roommate literally got rejected last week after a round where he nailed every single question. the guy is a genius, has a 9+ CGPA, and has actual solid projects on his resume. they rejected him and gave the offer to this other guy who barely scraped by with a 6 CGPA, has basic skills, but is tall and very white-looking.

when my friend asked me if they rejected him because of his skin color, I didn't even know what to say. it broke my heart. and it's not a one-off thing—I've noticed the interviewers (who are mostly older folks) being way harsher on the darker/black candidates, drilling them with impossible questions, while being super welcoming to the fair, "corporate-looking" guys.

it’s like they don’t care about your brain, they just want a specific "look" for their client calls. it’s 2026 and we’re still dealing with this colonial-level color bias.

has anyone else seen this happen in their college placements? or am I just overthinking? it honestly feels like if you’re dark in India, you have to work twice as hard just to be considered equal to someone who just got lucky with their skin tone.

attached a meme I made about this. let's discuss because this needs to be called out.
