Hello , cybersecurity enthusiasts , I am a student at IIITP from 1st year , now moving ahead to 2nd , I have 2 months vacation ahead and I want to proceed in this domain. I have learned basic linux cli through virtual box and wsl. And I am currently going to start networking (udemy - complete linux training course to get your dream it job - imran afzal).

I want to know what :

1. market opportunities are in this domain

2. and what should I learn next , I am interested in CTF's and I want to learn many things like cyphers , TLS , Reverse engineering,etc. but I don't know where to and how to start from my current knowledge.

3)And what should I learn for actual practical job opportunities.

(I have acer predator helio neo 16s Ai laptop so there won't be a problem from that side)

Experts and seniors Please help me 🥹🙏🏻

There are already 2 posts giving you enough clarity about this college one mentioned the dark side and the other mentioned its pros or whatever.

I am here to just share my opinion (if anyone gives a fuck) about this college , my experience and insights. To be very honest , the day that i got allotted this college I was totally excited as I was going out of state for the first time to study or stay away from home (it is for sure an experience, to all the upcoming college students , i totally recommend you to stay at a college that is far from home , you will learn lot of things).But this excitement vanished as soon as I got to the college 😭. After viewing it's location and amenities/facilities , Yes it is between mountains and the atmosphere is amazing most of the days , but also not forgetting that the nearest village(Talegaon) is 7km away from college itself , due to which if you want to go for purchasing stuff or anything you will have to travel and get out of your comfort zone. And Pune is like 30km away so for outing in Pune you have to travel for minimum 2 hours 🥀. And we have survived on mere tapri that is just outside the college premises. One good news is that 6-7 shops are going to be opened from August(when the new batch arrives) which are under college premises and includes shops like haircut saloon ,fast food , kirana shop , etc. so the new students are not going to struggle as much as we did 🥲.

Also about internet speed , yes the Ethernet port is absolutely phenomenal for most of the days currently. And wifi range is pretty shitty in the hostel but in the academic block it is good (not best). I have heard that they are working on it but not for sure.

There are washing machines which they installed recently and work decently, also the lifts are working .

Yes, there are just 3 hostels (1 girls hostel and 2 boys hostels) they are okay-ish. Like not something you would expect after paying 17Lakhs , tbh I was very disappointed but adjusted later on as my roomies are amazing, 4 bunk beds and common washroom , water comes 24/7 with some exceptions sometimes , same goes for electricity. (You guys are lucky that you won't have to play Russian roulette poop edition that we had to play/suffer 😭🙏🏻 , hoped that someone did not absolutely blast the toilet and left without flushing because there was water scarcity).

Faculties are Good (imo) , like it is not that the faculties are totally useless , irrelevant to their domains and fields and just teach shit. Rather unlike many colleges we have pretty strong faculties from diverse domains and have good experiences. If you go ask them a genuine doubt they will absolutely help. Yes they can be sometimes a pain in ass for attendance 😮‍💨 (75% mandatory).

As most of you have already heard there is a clear shortage of accommodation for students and they are making students of 3rd and 4th year students get an offcampus accommodation. This is because of the increased seats even though we clearly do not have any other place for students.

One of the SERIOUS problems here is they are not building new infra , like there is no sports infra , not building a new hostel or not even flattening the cricket ground. These lazy ass management have not built any physical infra in the past year except these 6 buildings. (except 6/7 🤷🏻‍♂️ shops that they built in past 6 months). We have 100acres of total land area and currently only 33% is in use.

Other than this , computer labs are my favourite, they have good capacity and environment.

For CSE students the placements are decent to good , but for ECE students there is little to no opportunity, they do not have equipment and facilities to facilitate the needs of core ece student research and development.

There is little to none in the case of ragging, seniors might ask you for intro😈 but nothing more serious or harmful or humiliating.
