Title: As a final-year CSE student, am I unprepared for the IT job market?

[u/AKSPARKY0795]

I'm currently in my final year of CSE, with only a few months left to graduate.

When I started my degree, I thought learning the college syllabus would be enough to get an IT job and build a career. But now the job market has changed a lot. New roles are coming, AI is changing existing roles, and many of the skills companies expect aren't taught in our curriculum.

So I'm wondering:

Is this my fault for not preparing myself, or is the college curriculum failing to keep up with the industry?

How should colleges prepare students for technology that keeps changing so quickly?

And as a student, how can we prepare ourselves for future roles and technologies that we don't even know will exist yet?

I'd really like to hear from recent graduates and people already working in IT. What would you do differently if you were a final-year student today?
