Every year almost 15-20 Lakh engineering students get graduated. But according to a survey only 25% of them gets job in their respected stream. The main reason behind it is competition as the jobs in this field is limited but the number of the students is getting increased. So it is very important to stand out from the crowd.
Now it is quite obvious that a question will arise in your mind that how to stand out from the crowd. And the answer of this question is to build or learn some different which is not normal in the syllabus. So, in this article I’m going to explain about top 5 skills for every computer science students.
Number 1: Data Structure and Algorithms
Everyone thinks that Data Structure and Algorithm is very tough and outdated nowadays. But the scenario is totally different. See, data is something which is not going to be outdated any day. DSA is something which is being asked from last few years and consistently the number of question is getting increased annually.
Nowadays DSA is used widely and every company asks from the student and analyzes their performance on the basis of Data Structure and Algorithm only. DSA is usually asked to analyze that how is your thinking ability and how far you can think and how creatively you can think about any problem.
And if you think that you can get jobs without learning Data Structure and Algorithm then you are completely wrong but at the same time you can get jobs in the sales companies in which you need to sell some products and complete the target. So better you learn DSA and get some good jobs and earn money peacefully.
Number 2: Competitive Programming
Competitive Programming is something which is going to give wonderful hike in any job and if you are fresher then you are on totally different level in comparison to other students of the same year. Competitive programming doesn’t mean that there is any competition going on in which you need to participate.
Competitive programming helps you to learn the way to write the code efficiently and improve the time complexity and also to efficiently use the memory of the system without losing the functionality of the program.
And in the current situation competitive programming can help you to get some handsome package and if you are trying to get job in big giants or FAANG then competitive programming can be the butter on the cake for you.
Number 3: Prompt Engineering
Prompt Engineering is something which is going to help you a lot as the modern era is showing its vast face and Artificial Intelligence is going to play a vital role in this change and if you become a part of change then only you can survive in this world and live a good and happy life.
Prompt Engineering is something which helps you to get desired result from the AI and solve the problem efficiently. And you all know how fastly AI is growing and changing the way of surfing the internet.
Number 4: Communication Skills
Communication Skills is something which can give you the opportunity which can’t be achieved by learning any technical skills. Communication Skills can help you at any point of time to grow your career and not let you to get stuck at any point of time.

Investing is something which can secure your future. While coming to investing everyone thinks about crypto currency or trading. But investing is totally different and if you invest in crypto or in trading then the risk of losing money is very high and the Return of investment is also good but in some case you can lose your investment as well.
So these were the top 5 Skills you need to learn if you are a Computer Science and Engineering Student during your college period. Hope you like this article. Thanks!
