What IST Students REALLY Think About Placements, AI & Skills | IST Hyderabad Campus

What actually matters in engineering placements today? Is CGPA enough? Is AI replacing engineers? Do hackathons, projects and extracurriculars really help? We asked first-year engineering students at IST Hyderabad Campus, and their answers were surprisingly honest. From placements and practical exposure to AI, mentors, hackathons and real-world projects, students shared what engineering learning actually looks like inside IST. In this video, students talk about: • How much CGPA matters in placements • How AI is changing engineering careers • Why projects matter more than copied resumes • Hackathons and practical exposure • IIT professors and Microsoft mentors • Real skills vs theory learning • Extracurricular activities and public speaking • What makes IST different from other engineering colleges If you're an engineering student, future aspirant, or someone confused about placements, skills and career growth, this video will genuinely help you understand what students actually think today. 📍 IST Hyderabad Campus #ISTHyderabad #EngineeringPlacements #EngineeringStudents #AIEngineering #Placements #Hackathons #EngineeringCollege #CGPA #StudentLife #Projects #EngineeringSkills #CollegeReality #TechCareers #IST
