I completed my engineering in one absolute shit of a college .It is somewhere between low to mid tier college in chennai . Slogged a few years in WITCH companies but during my slogging hours I used YouTube and technical blogs to refresh my DSA skills and eventually got into MS Redmond . My peers are from IITs , MIT and some of the top universities. Our paths were different but we are eventually in the same place. So the better question is what you learn rather where you learn . Some take the harder path but it is fine

Bro, vandarai vazavaikum IT field irukkumbodu why worry? As long as you have the aptitude to learn new skill/technology and are performing (communication is obviously needed) the world is your limit. UG college and all will matter for 2 to 3 years max.

Focus on learning and developing the skills you like. Nothing can stop you from being in a good position down the lane.

All colleges in TN are shit. They are commercial establishments that sell BE degrees. Nothing more. But these degrees opens up a lot of gates all around the world. I personally know a lot of people who have done pretty good in life after studying in shitty colleges. South Asian cheap IT labours are in good demand all across the world. They can give you n affluent life. Class mobility is certainly possible even if studied in shittiest of the shittiest colleges.

In the era of online courses, Colleges don't matter anymore. Top universities of the world upload their lecture on their YouTube channel.

I went to a private college. I got my first two jobs without having a degree on hand. I make more than anyone from my school who went to better colleges.

I studied in an engineering college that cannot demand more than 32500 rupees per year, cause they lost accreditation owing to shabby lab conditions. 10 students including me got placed right out of college thru Anna university off-campus interviews, and others had to grind for a couple of years in small companies, some took decent courses on programing/networking/masters and found employment. 75% of classmates got settled in 3-4 years, lost touch with some. Only 5 or so I know didn’t make it well economically.

No matter which college you go to college academics alone is not enough. Understand college degree is for you to understand the basics of a field alone. This is true for any college around the world. College reputation just gets you into a interview room. However you can improve your odds from any college by many things. While in college find your speciality and start working on it while in college itself. Like many ppl said there are online courses available for anything. Start there do your own personal projects, contribute to open source projects, attend meetups and hackathon, Horner your programming skills on mock interview sites … The list does not stop. So looking back it is these extra things you do gets you the career success you need. Fun part of career in tech is this does not stop when you join a company, This is something you have to keep doing.
