So recently I went to Ambience Mall and purchased 2 laptops from the Reliance/JioMart Digital store there.

Both laptops were Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 i5 13th Gen models.

At first everything seemed fine, but within just one week, both laptops started having display issues. Imagine spending so much money on brand-new laptops and then facing problems almost immediately.

We took one laptop for replacement and thankfully that replacement process got completed. But the real frustration started after that.

Yesterday, on 8 May (Friday), we again visited the store regarding the second laptop issue. The staff simply told us that “aaj nahi ho payega” and asked us to come again the next day. The worst part was that other customers’ work was still being done at the same time, so it honestly felt very unprofessional and unfair.

Now we’ve been forced to make multiple trips again and again without any proper resolution, compensation, or even basic customer support. It feels like once the product is sold, the customer no longer matters.

My overall experience with JioMart/Reliance Digital has been extremely disappointing:

2 new laptops developed issues within days

Multiple unnecessary store visits

Poor handling by staff

No proper support or compensation

Customers are being made to run around repeatedly

I never expected this kind of service after buying brand-new laptops from a reputed store. Just sharing my experience so others stay careful while purchasing expensive electronics from there.

Hey everyone,

I’m writing this because I genuinely need some honest guidance from people who are either working in tech/electronics or have been in a similar situation before.

I’m currently pursuing B.Tech in Electronics Engineering with a VLSI-related specialization from a tier 3 college in India. To be very honest, my college life has not gone well at all academically. I already got detained once, which means I lost one full year, and my overall marks/CGPA are also pretty average.

Right now I feel stuck and confused about what direction I should move in because placements in my college are already weak, and with my academics I know things will become even harder.

The biggest issue is that I don’t even know where I realistically stand anymore.

Some background about me:

Tier 3 college

Electronics / VLSI field

Already detained once

Multiple backlogs earlier (some cleared, some still difficult)

Average academics overall

No strong profile currently

Not from a financially strong background

Feeling pressure seeing everyone move ahead

I know basic C, JavaScript and some DSA

I’m ready to work hard now, but I feel late compared to others

The problem is that whenever I search online, everyone says:

“Do VLSI”

“Do coding”

“Do embedded”

“Do AI”

“Learn web dev”

“Prepare for GATE”

“Go for government exams”

And honestly, it becomes overwhelming because I cannot do everything together.

I don’t want fake motivation. I just want practical guidance from people who understand the current market reality.

My questions are:

With my background, what skills should I focus on NOW so that I can still build a decent career?

Is VLSI still realistic for someone from a tier 3 college with average academics?

Should I shift completely toward software/coding for better opportunities?

If yes, then what specific path would be better:

Web Development

DSA + Development

Embedded Systems

Testing/QA

Data Analyst

Something else?

What would you do if you were in my position right now?

Is it still realistically possible to get a decent job off-campus after all this?

I’m willing to improve and put in effort, but I need direction because right now I feel like I’m running in circles and wasting more time.

Would really appreciate honest advice, roadmaps, or stories from people who recovered from bad academics and still managed to build a career.

Thanks for reading.
