The money that software engineers are paid
That is because
Friends, Antoine once said
And what matters most is your effort
With that being said
Today we're going to talk about the gap between
And what you learn through
Because in the last three years
Since covid happened
Tech
Especially Ed tech
has boomed up significantly
Many people learn from online Tech courses
as compared to in person classroom
and in the last few months
since Chatgpt has evolved
No student can even imagine
Doing assignment without chatgpt
How this gap has increased significantly
And if today
through online courses
There are so many online courses
Not pointing towards a single course
But what are the things
which these courses don't teach you
And what you need to learn
The right way
Let's talk about it In this video
First of all the big problem
Many students are graduating from Tier2 Tier3 colleges
Still when they go through mass recruiting
are getting 20k, 30k rupees per month
Thats it
Many
Many of my friends who are in ECS, infosys
where mass recruiting is done
They are still starting from here only
which is the harsh reality
And according to Nasscom research by 2026
The jobs in tech industry in India specially
Its gonna be about 95 lakhs
But sadly only 75 lakh people can take those jobs
Do you know why
Its not that
There won't be much engineers in India
The reality is
in India are umemployable
Because they don't have that mindset
which is important for these Jobs
And that mindset doesn't comes from Degree
That mindset is more through the skill level
which online courses are not able to teach you
So first of all let's start
2 kinds of online courses you see
Specially in gaining an area of expertise
Like
In software engineering
Those courses are most popular
First of all let's talk
I was talking to my friend aryhander
By the way Aryhander,You have done so many internships
So tell me what difference you saw
The gap in tech industry and the tech courses
Like Android development, iOS, Web development
See the first thing is
What you're taught in Android courses
That is a mini projet
Like most people learn
what it'll be They'll be showing you video
He'll be making live project
And you're making your project here
Alright
So you don't know how to make project with this
If you really knew
Then make the next clone by yourself
Imagine someone is teaching you make a clone
So if you really want to learn
So go to some other website and make clone yourself
Which mostly kids don't learn
And all my friends in social circle
in US and in India
You know which course gets most complimens
That is none other than Pepcoding
I myself
leanrt from there
They have so much respect in the world of tech industry
For Sumeet sir
It is undefinable
And many students leanr from there and go to meta or facebook
This part is not sponsored
Just out of respect I am saying that
That course helped me
and many in my friends circle
Inentry, Atleast clearing the interview
But in terms of
performing in those jobs
Let it be making projects
or to qualify with your resume
Or you wan to go and work in the tech industry
But on the contrary
If we talk about Dev
In Development
with projects
with my projects
Does DSA helped me in all that?
Absolutely not
So thats why
I have so much respect for DSA
to all the youtubers
who make content
who make live
Or sumeet sir
Lots of respect for them
Because this is important
I think there's no gap in this thing
as much you need for the interview
All those things they provide
For atleast
Top companies
in clearing the interview
ut you have to take action after learning the course
And you have to solve
more problems on your own
and mock interviews
Thats when this course gets completed
No.2 Type of courses
which are
to put in your resume
in terms of projects Android
iOS
Web development
Full stac
Cyber security
and Data science
Artificial Intelligence
These courses are doubt Amazing
I also remember when I
on Udemy
Lets analyze one of the course
So on Udemy
I used to take this course by
which is on Android development
Now in this course
You make many android apps
which you think that
which will make you proficient as an android developer
Put same in Ful stac also
that you want to make website
Like making clone of Amazon
or you
want to make clone of Netflix
These apps can teach you to solve
One kind of problem
After getting the app made for you
On one side you're making app
On one side you're looking at tutorial
If you're doing both together
If I tell you next day
Make app related to
etsy or online store
After netflix app
After looking at Netflic kind of app
You make an online store
Will you be able to make it
If you learn to make clone of Amazon
You'll remember it for two months
with that clone
After two months
Forget about Amazon
You won't be able to make any app like Amazon
Netflix is further bigger issue
Unrelated apps to this are a far thing
You won't be even able to make related apps after two months
which is the harsh reality
Because to see these courses with Popcorn are really fun
But implementing it
Something related or unrelated
after two months becomes very very difficult
Above that major difference is that
The money that software engineers are paid
that is paid because
Figure out mentality
Alright I mean
The task given to you
In that many apps will be witty
Their solution won't be straight forwards
In mostjobs, Even
finance and
I mean take any
In that step by step is followed
In software every task
has a different solution
And for that figure out mentality
You're paid especially juniors and interns
Alright
So that means
That gap is main
And what is the solution
What type of courses to pursue
To answer this
First of all I want to answer the question
Why students are taking these courses
Why there is significant boom in the area of these courses
We also launched a course
We'll talk about it after
I don't have any tech course right now
Now this time
Students are increasingly getting to more online courses
The biggest reason is
Because tech industry is evolving so fast
No course including online including college
course
can guarantee
that after learning this course
100% you'll know about the language or the task
Infact if you take python programming language
Every year this language comes with an update
No python course
No python book
can guarantee that it'll cover every single part of python
And which the reality
that nowadays tech industry is evolving so fast
That you can't learn everything by yourself
So the right answer is
That there is
Here your
mindset and goal is to become a problem solver
As compared to just gain one area
Like I will tell you
I worked in many companies
In every company you may get different responsibilities
I have seen that in Big tech companies
You're supposed to be very evolving
Sometimes they will give you project on seasharp
Sometimes Android or iOS
They give you all type of projects and problems
But when I was working in small companies
There was just one area of expertise
So both things are important
But even after taking expertise of one area
If I am just an Android developer
Still I see some problems that I have
My goal is to solve that Ambiguity
And no course can guarantee you that
No.2 problem in India's college education system is
Many colleges
demand from you that
There should be 75% attendance in classes
Even though many courses are outdated
Even though many books have gaps to fill in them
But still they force you to take and join every single class
which should not be expected
In modern US
Attendance is not mandatory in many classes
There was one class in which I attented very few classes
I passed by taking help from friends
and Its really difficult to do that in India
Because sometimes professors recognize you
So even if your attendance is marked
still students get behind
where their attendance is not 75%
and no.3 factor
which is a con in Indian education
We're in a hurry to know the steps
that this is the process
and this is the destination
But its not like this in Tech Industry
There's a lot of ambiguity
There's a lot of questions that you have to ask
that I started this solution in this project
and if that doesn't works
then in shower or while sleeping
You try to think of other solutions
And one day comes that you
solve that problem
So thats how you do Hit and Trial
You keep trying
You're always motivated
You have to solve problem sometimes
which you don't even see on Stackoverflow or Github
Reading every documentation
and analyzing
Spending weeks on it
in an Ambiguish problem
Then only you're able to solve that
And this is something
Online courses are not able to
Only some are able to
That I will tell you later How to analyze it
but which is currently the reality
No.4 harsh reality is
Still if you read on Quora or Reddit
Many Indians think about certificates
that if this course is giving certificate
Then I will buy this
If this is not
Then I will not pursue this
Reality is, In Tech
Certificates are important for only those
Like I just did interview of Mckinsey consultant
In these top companies
when they have consultants and clients
So company will tell you that this is our consultant
and you're client
Look at this consultant
who is AWS
python certified
And then client will familiarize
Yes, That I can trsut this consultant
But in the world of Tech industry
Your recruiters trust you
when you have expertise
By showing experience, Projects
Your expertise speak more than your portfolio
as compared to just a piece of certificate
So thats why
Thats why you don't have to run after certficates
Now lets come back to the course
All the courses that you will see
What they lack
The right answer is
For this I will give you direct answer
If a course tells you to make 3 projects
which could be blogging website, It can be any project
But along with those projects You have to
divide in micro projects and after that
Don't asks you to make new projects
After you made new projets
Doesn't shows answers of that project
Like freezing your mind on only 3-4 projects
And giving you only 3-4 solutions
in only 3-4 ways
So your mind is just restricting in one direction
You're in a wall
where there is only one solution and one problem
then one solution one problem
one solution one problem
But if you divide those problems into sub problems
Smaller and smaller projects
If with those smaller and smaller projects
You can create any house
You can create any project
That will be the best
project making course I can think of
I myself haven't seen much
And if oyu also want to think about projects
I can say the right answer is like Harkirat said in his video
That you can reach out to people
at your dream industry
or
Ask them what problem they're solving
If you're targeting specific team
You can ask them to breakdown
Your work into simple projects
smaller smaller projects
And then you can figure out that Yes
These are the projects I should make
to get into that role
So you'll creatively think if different projects
You will make them
You'll solve them
when you make real world projects
In real world, With problem solving mindset
For which hackathons are very useful
I also did my course from Hackathon
In that I promised hackathon because my goal was
to put you in the world of people with similar mindset
One quote is very famous that
You're always average
You must be better than most
or around average
If those five friends are more competitive
If you surround around them
Then you learn more
And you become like them
So thats why hacktathons are very helpful
You can
Try your best to
Go into a
And try your best
to surround yourself
and
That way you can be
More in the world of
That'll be the best course
which I will also try to make
Now I ahve so much respect for the person making it
because it takes a lot of effort
I think it involves a lot of energy draining
Thats why I haven't
Made that ind of course yet
But for hackathon, I'll be back soon
If you would like on this channel
And soon I'll launch one more hackathon
If you guys will comment
Around 18 prizes we gave out
in last hackathon
And many students found it helpful
So that will be it
And that will be the Gap in tech
courses
and tech industry
What you'll choose
Getting into ed tech
or tech industry
Because last I saw harkirat's video
I totally agree
that when you're in Tech industry
You see a lot of growth
After long you feel that you're settling down
But in terms of edtech
You lauched 2-3 big courses
That gets very repetitive
So for personal satisfaction
I don't get much by making courses
thatI get after solving a big problem in tech
so that'll be it
Thankyou so much for watching
I'll see you guys in the next one
Good bye
