Switch to IT
Plenty of E&TC graduates get software jobs — service companies hire from every branch. This is the order that works when you haven't coded much.
- 1Aptitude first Every service company tests it before anything else.
- 2One language, properly Java from the basics, with Aria when you are stuck.
- 3DSA, pattern by pattern The problems that actually get asked, in order.
- 4SQL 240 problems on real schemas — a common test round.
- 5Your resume Import it, get an ATS check, fix weak bullets.
- 6Mock interviews Practise the interview before the interview.
