[@factos404]

I haven't done any internship or project, and I am in prefinal year. There are very less people like me but can you suggest anything?

[@Deepak-bq2vg]

Nice video . I just want to ask that how much of coding you are doing if any , in this product manager role . Basically want to ask what exactly is your work throughout the day

[@KritagyaNayyar]

I don't actually code. My work is mostly managing what's happening in the team and what should happen. Making sure the part of product I look at is in the best possible share and growing. Will try to make a detailed video as well :')

[@ayushsoran5939]

Hey man! I'm from Mechanical background and have been selected for an IT company but I don't really have much experience of coding and other sort of things. So can you please tell from where should I learn more about (coding, data structure etc.) so that when I join I can comfortably work in that environment. And also can tell what are the things needed to be learned particularly for deisgn, tech, business, finance roles.

[@KritagyaNayyar]

Hey. Mostly companies have training for a few weeks/months after you join, so don't worry too much :')

[@altraacegaming]

Aapne jo kuch bataya, en sab me se konse field me product manager ho? kya me han sakta hu..! Means I smartphone management or app manager, service manager, etc Or all in one Matlab ye system kaise hoti hai Pls reply 🙏🙏🙏

Hey hi.. Iam from architecture background and working as an Architect in architectural firms from past 5 years. From last 9 months have been working as a project manager in exhibition booth industry. I want to join product management certification course from IIT Delhi. They have their online courses going on. Is this a good choice for me to join this as I have no coding or software background. If you could help me with this.

[@anghsumanchanda5725]

Bhaiya can u tell how to find for intern and what is design as you have done intern there...... Moreover, would like to give you one suggestion that you can more videos in a week instead of just one... BTW your contents are very good.

[@KritagyaNayyar]

Difficult to explain what design is on a comment. Will try to make a video on that and how I applied for interns. Thanks for your suggestion but trying to stay consistent with one video a week, with job it's difficult. Will try to increase frequency in a bit. Till then, watch today's video for sure :')

[@user-cf5ri6xz6q]

I am jee 2022 aspirant I want to pursue aerospace engineering ? If don't get iit then what I do becoz am financially weak and family thinks fully wastage of money in private college .....but placement also 0% so what I do if I can't get iit should I do aerospace engineering from private by loan or wastage of money becoz 0% placement ? 🙏

[@KritagyaNayyar]

I'm not fully sure of scope of aerospace in other colleges but you can always opt for a different branch than aerospace if you think placement is your objective and you won't get in this branch in private colleges.

[@sanjoshaju6130]

if you are so passionate about aerospace, then placements straight out of college should not be your primary concern. Because there are a very few oppurtunity for placements in that field straight after B.tech even if you are from IIT. You will mostly need to do your Masters. Also it will also be possible that your interest will change after joining the college. So it is always better to take a broader degree for bachelors, so that you can widen your scope and then get a specialised degree for masters based on your interest.

[@aizazhaider9057]

diff bw product and project manager?

[@KritagyaNayyar]

In short - product manager looks at delivering the best feature to the customer whereas a project manager ensures that things are being delivered with collaboration of all the teams internally. In some firms, product manager plays the role of project manager, but generally not vice versa.

[@user-zn7fm5hc1q]

Hello Brother Very nice👍

Hello i am a gate qualified student there is new course of master in design ( industrial design) in iit rorkee should i go for it .

Hey Kritagya… It was a very insightful video. I’m currently working as a Product Analyst who switched from a Business background. Do you have any tips on how to accelerate growth in a product role?

[@KritagyaNayyar]

Read a lot. Read about people's experiences, about decisions frameworks. I have shared some blogs, will keep updating that list in the future as well. Get feedback on your wok as often as you can. Try understanding from PMS in your team why and what they are doing. Be curious.
