My Quora answer on What should I know before attending a robotics workshop, being an ECE student?

It actually depends on your graduation year. If you are a Sophomore then possibility is that you will be novice in this field until you have not been fascinated in the robotics field from your Childhood.
  • For a 1st year student only some basic knowledge will be sufficient. You must have an idea regarding different types of robots & how actually they work. Nothing more. After workshop (It actually depends that what Organizers will teach you) you will be able to make your own small racing robot. I am assuming the condition if they teach you the least level. Otherwise you may also make programming based robots. But it all depends on the level of workshop. You may also learn the wireless robots in the workshops.
  • For a 2nd year student it will be required that he must be good in any programming language (Object oriented programming) like C, C++ etc. After attending the workshop you might be able to make robots which perform their functions with the help of Programming. You will be able to make wall climbing robots, Line follower, Racing robots & different types of it. So overall you will be in the good position & can make various types of robots by applying your own logics. You may also be able to make small humanoid robots.
  • If a 3rd year student is planning to attend the workshop then either the content level of workshop must be quite high that means they are going to teach you some concepts of Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence and how you can apply it in real environment or the student have not been serious till his 2nd year if the workshop contents are ordinary. I will not say anything for the letter one. But for former one i would suggest that student must have some basic idea regarding Machine learning & artificial Intelligence. So one should have a sound knowledge in the programming section. Programming languages like C,C++,java,python, scala, julia etc.then only you will be able to understand the concepts.
  • I will not say anything for the 4th year student.
Hope it helps.

My Quora answer on I’m a 3rd year ECE student interested in programming and networking. Should I go in for a network admin or embedded software?

Its quite common Dilemma among the ECE Undergraduates. Infact i know some of my seniors who did their M.Tech in different specialization & doing work in some other field. So, first of all its up to you That in which field you want to make your career. I will suggest you if you have ardent interest in any of the field then choose that field. So you can enjoy your work and make significantly growth in your career. Now here i am providing an comparison between these two on different parameters- Salary-  From salary point of view embedded field (Software Engineer, Developer, Coder ) dominates somewhere over Network administration field (DevOps, Ops, SRE etc). But the difference is not too much. But it is not always certain. Salary also depend upon timing, Location, Personal Skills and much more. you can check these two links to check the salary of these two fields- Salary: Network Administrator Salary: Embedded Software Engineer 2.  Pressure of work: Network a...

What are the simple businesses for startups this year?

There are so many ideas on which work can be carried out & now a days most of the graduates are working on these ideas. But the important thing here is that  in which field your ardent interest falls . You can start working in any field, You could also have a fantastic idea but if your interest does’t fall in that then you will sabotage it quite easily. Never think that your idea is quite common and any one can steal it . No not at all. Let us suppose For a moment why anyone have not produced yet another google/facebook/apple etc despite we have one of the best programmers all across the world. Because of their unique selling property. Its the quality of your product which anyone can not produce. And you can only bring that quality in your product if you do your work with full interest. So Idea could be anything but make sure that you have lot of interest in that. So when you will work on that idea then it will create the history.  Here i will suggest some of t...
