A Bachelors Degree in Computer Science
Hello World! I am writing to this blog after a long time. Recently, I met one of my mentees who I mentored during a summer internship. She was in her final year of engineering. I asked her about her college and the things she has been working on. She told me about the various courses she has been taking. I was happy to hear about all the AI courses that she has been taking until I heard "... and I skipped the Compilers because it was too difficult". My question was - "How did you have a choice to skip Compilers? Is it an elective nowadays?", "Yes, it is". It was at this moment that I realized the blunder that engineering colleges in India are making. They are purely selling to recruiters instead of striving for excellence. AI seems very attractive nowadays. It's the buzzword of the century. You can get funding for any startup just by mentioning that AI is being used, even if it is just used to automate employee payroll. You can win any hackathon by me
