Sh@ring College Life Experiences {Second Ye@r (2016-2017)}




  • We had decided to leave the hostel and then live in a society ( due to proximity to the college). Therefore finally we moved to the flat, from the 3rd semester itself to the rest of college life.
So foremost the first-year students always have this question?
“Whether they should choose the hostel or live in the flats (i.e leave the hostel)”?

So again this question itself requires a lot of research and also our parents ( sometimes relatives) consents too, due to the environment or culture and other factors which directly depends on this decision.

 Here I will try to explain all the factors that I have considered earlier before moving to the flat:
  1. Roommates:
  2. Culture
  3. Coordination:
  4. Interest
  5. Behavior
  • Here a snapshot of our flatmates and we named this group “B@aps”

B: B@kul Gupt@

@: A...

A:  A...

P:  P...

S:  S...

  • Now during 2nd Year of engineering, I get to know about the Linkedin platform from our mentors of college cloud computing team (i.e CCTIL { Centre For Cloud Computing Technology Innovation & Learning} )
  • As mentioned earlier in the previous post, I have no idea about what to do during my engineering life except the college syllabus.

  • Now, this is the first time, I have started exploring the various fields: competitive programming, hacking, etc.




  • Just like this, there are a lot of examples, therefore I have learned a lot of things from the mentors available on various platforms such as Linkedin, Medium, Quora, etc.
  • Do’s
  • Irrespective of the branch of engineering you are associated with, do try to involve yourself in learning the principles of any programming language and automate the various redundant tasks.
  • Start involving in competitive programming, and learn DSA { Data Structures & Algorithms} as soon as possible.
  • DSA plays a very important role in each phase of your career ( during internships, interviews, placements, etc)
  • Various competitive programming platforms that one can use for learning as well as for practice such as:
  • Spoj, CodeChef, Interviewbit, HackerRank, HackerEarth, CodeForces, LeetCode, GeeksForGeeks, etc.
  • Start doing one thing at a time, once you’re comfortable with the technologies ( or programming language). Then slowly start yourself involving in multitasking i.e following your passions as well as learning the things according to the current curriculum.
  • Additionally, a few images of my study table, that I have bought earlier during the second year of my college, which constantly help me to concentrate on one thing, irrespective of doing multiple tasks at one time, during my initial phase of learning.


  • Don’t 
  • Do try to do only one thing during the initial days. Because of the same mistake I have committed earlier, i.e involved myself in a lot of technologies (and then unable to give proper time to delve deeper in each technology).

  • Have a nice day !!!

    Thanks for spending your precious time reading the post, but do me a favor if possible, if any of my connections do have any stories/experiences to share with their fellow, do share the experiences. It helps a lot for other members to avoid the mistakes that have been already committed by us.

How to hack Google? Google Dorking ( aka Google Hacking ) is a technique used for the purpose of filtering search results, in order to get concise (required) information only. Mainly it used for following purposes: To search for websites, having some vulnerabilities. To gather information restricted to a particular source (here source may be people, company, technology etc.) To do reconnaissance (i.e Information gathering), used frequently by cybersecurity professionals. Let's take some examples: 1. I'm interested in reading content about google hacking (then how I can search in google) 1.1 google hacking 1.2 "google hacking" 1.3 filetype:pdf "google hacking" 1.4 filetype:pdf "google hacking" after:2019 1.5 Now, if we're familiar with topic (here google hacking), then we should know about the most common website to search the content Common Google Dork's keywords: site:  Used for the purpose of restricting the search to a particular website...

Sh@ring College Life Experiences

“Smiling wins more friends than just frowning” @@@ Do you want to know how the life of common private engineering students is like? If yes, then in this series of blog posts I will be sharing my college life experiences during four years of my engineering. There are a lot of mistakes and learnings, that may help a lot of college graduates to learn from the mistakes and restrict themselves in committing the same mistake. Why these blog posts? I always strive for the concept of  Sh@ring @nd C@ring {@@@},  so I always believe in sharing the things that may help a lot of teenagers ( college going students) like me to learn from the mistakes that I have committed during my college days. Motivation to read the series of blog posts? Why someone especially the college-going students should read this blog post instead of spending their precious time in learning some new technologies ( such as Docker, MEAN stack, MERN stack, DevOps, CyberSecurity, etc.) Simple answer? Don’t want to comm...

Sh@ring College Life Experiences {Third Ye@r (2017-2018)}

     If you’re the smartest person in the room, then you are in the wrong room So if you think of yourself as the smartest person in the room, then it will be a better option to change the room. As soon as the third year of the college start, there were a lot of questions coming in my mind : Should I follow someone, who is preparing for other competitive exams (such as GATE, CDAC, etc) How to prepare me for the off-campus internships. Should I leave doing competitive programming? Follow the things that I always love to do i.e doing multiple things at a time?  Example: 2 hour: Competitive Programming 1 hour: Data Structure & Algorithms Free Time: DevOps, Hacking, Learn Bug Bounty  At the last, I have decided to go with point 4, the decision may vary from person to person depending upon its interest. We all know that most of the  engineering syllabus in the private engineering college is outdated , but please remember that the in-depth understanding of th...
