I remember randomly discovering your channel back in college. At that time, I didn't even know if I would be pursuing Software Engineering or any CS related field in the future but still, I subscribed to your channel thinking, that's some quality content right there and today I am watching this in my summer break after 1st year (BE Software). Glad that I found this podcast at the right time. Thank you for your dedication to teaching and mentoring us! ❤

Great podcast, kindly invite any guest that belong to Data Science who can talk about it's potential scope in pakistan

[@nanodacat]

Bro's way of asking for subscriber was unique. Bro deserves subscribers. 👍👍👍👍

[@sarasaleem7420]

Immense appreciation i have for this effort of yours , 'No one is coming to save you' you say while saving hundrends if not thousands of young minds. you guys felt genuine in with your words and well-thought in your opinions. Except i still believe that a student feels sheltered or bound to certain extent and trust there instructors to guide them at least, which in my case has never worked out and i had to push myself to learn. Lekin phir bhi if you can't at least teach if not be a mentor to your studdents that fancy title of Phd is merely a title. Seeing institutions nurturing incompetent faculty is my literal pain point. but as you said and i agree NO ONE IS COMING TO SAVE US. We have to take resposibilty on individual level i guess and baki Allah madadgaar hai.

[@waqas6565]

Thanks bro. No one is making such content.

[@verticaltech124]

I am currently in my 2nd semester at Virtual University. I practiced a lot tasks of (OOPs) and (DSA) in C++ and am also engaged in web development. My skills in these areas are good. However, I spend most of my time coding, which has left me with insufficient time for academics. This academic situation is depressing for me. What are your views on this?

[@usamahassan7350]

Dear I'm also doing the same job. 2nd semester in Vu Getting education is really tough

I think first year s h internships krna start krdena chahye based on what I have seen here in US, aur paid boot camps b agar aapko discipline krskte hn tou admission l lena, self discipline ka sochte rehne aur time waste krne s better h.

Sir I am a student of Second semester in BS Software engineering from Virtual university. Currently I am teaching computer science in a school to 9th , 10th students but I will try to find some relevant work which is related and close to my field after 4th semester. I feel that my university would be a major issue in cracking a job after graduation as people say Virtual university has no worth.

[@umerghafoor]

@@BLUE-uy3fb FAST is a challenging university, and you'll need to study hard to score a good GPA. However, since you are already doing web development, it shouldn't be too challenging for you as you have experience managing projects and meeting deadlines. Your background will help you handle the workload, but be prepared to dedicate time to your studies to succeed at FAST.

[@MuhammadSoban-su1bd]

Don't go for fast then ​@@BLUE-uy3fb
