How to Win BIG in a Tier-3 College
> Don't go to college
> Pick ONE language → C++ or Java
> Master fundamentals → OOP, Pointers/Memory, Time & Space Complexity
> DSA Daily Grind → Striver’s A2Z Sheet (free + perfect order)
> Git + GitHub (this will create a proof of work for you)
> Web Basics → HTML, CSS, JavaScript (Chai aur Code is a good one )
> Build 1 simple website → Just to feel how the all things work
> Learn React or Next.js → (Harkirat Singh / Chai aur Code = more than enough)
> Backend
→ Option A: Node.js + Express + MongoDB/PostgreSQL
→ Option B: Java + Spring Boot + MySQL
(Pick one stack & go deep)
> APIs → Learn REST APIs properly (Postman + real projects)
> Build 2–3 Solid Full-Stack Projects
→ User Auth (Login/Signup)
→ CRUD operations
→ Real-world problem (e.g., Todo, E-commerce, Blog, Chat app)
> AWS Basics (FREE Tier) /optional
→ Deploy your projects on EC2 or Vercel
→ Use S3 for images/files
→ Learn IAM basics
(Deployed projects >> 100 local projects)
> Prepare this before Interviews
→ DBMS (SQL + Normalization)
→ OS (Processes, Threads, Deadlock, Memory)
→ Computer Networks (OSI, TCP/IP, HTTP)
→ System Design Basics (LLD + HLD intro)
> Make a killer Portfolio
> Daily 1-hour workout
> Apply for a job everywhere (Naukri, Instahyre, career portal)
Everything is FREE
6–12 months serious grind you need and You are good to go
I learned everything for free.
My college gave me a degree and a placement, but the actual skills? I picked them up on my own.
Here’s my full roadmap:
Frontend Basics
> HTML, CSS, JS by chai aur code (@Hiteshdotcom)
Core Programming
> Java & OOPS By @kunalstwt
DSA
> @striver_79 A2Z DSA Sheet
Web Development
> Next.js, MERN stack, WebSockets, TypeScript, Turborepo, Monorepos, Figma & much more
@kirat_tw Cohort 3 (shoutout to my friend for sharing his account)
Computer Science Fundamentals
> DBMS by @geeksforgeeks + Chatgpt
> CN by @kunalstwt
> OS by @lovebabbar3
> System Design Basics by @piyushgarg_dev
Everything above is freely available or accessible through friends and community support.
Hope this helps anyone starting out. If I can do it, so can you.
