Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence are among the most in-demand career paths in India today. And every year, nearly 15 lakh engineering students graduate, but only 16% secure placements, and just 2% get higher paying tech roles. The gap is not talent, it’s guidance.
Many students enter engineering with ambition but go through college without clear direction. They study subjects, pass exams, and complete assignments, but still feel unsure about how to become job ready engineers. Most colleges focus heavily on theory, while the industry expects problem-solving skills, strong coding fundamentals, system-level thinking, and hands-on experience.
This is where mentorship plays a critical role.
The Real Problem: Learning Without Direction
Most traditional colleges assume that the students will discover their careers themselves.They attend classes and give exams, but they don’t know:
- What skills are actually needed for tech roles?
- How should they prepare year by year?
- Which projects matter and which don’t?
- How companies judge and hire engineers
Without proper guidance, most students realise these gaps only at the time of placements when there is very little time left to fix them.
Fact: Most traditional engineering students hear about DSA, system design, or internships seriously only in their final year usually after watching random job-prep videos. Mentorship helps them avoid this last-minute stress.
Why Mentorship Changes Everything
Mentorship helps students move from confusion to clarity. Instead of guessing, they learn directly from engineers who have already worked in the industry and understand what it takes to succeed.
At Bosscoder School of Technology (BST), mentorship is not optional or occasional, it is built into the four-year B.Tech journey from Day 1.
How Mentorship Works at BST
BST provides structured, continuous mentorship to ensure students grow in the right direction throughout their 4 year college journey by providing:
1:1 Mentorship from Industry Engineers
Students are guided by engineers who have worked at top tech companies and built real products and systems. Mentors help students understand:
- What to learn
- How deeply to learn it
- How it connects to real industry roles
Regular Feedback and Progress Reviews
Students receive continuous feedback on their coding, projects, and problem-solving approach which helps them stay on the right track.
Dedicated Student Success Managers
Each student is supported by a success manager who tracks academic progress, clears doubts, motivates them and provides guidance whenever needed in technical or personal matters.
Early Career Clarity
Mentorship helps students explore different roles like software engineering, AI & ML, data, and systems early on, so they can make informed decisions instead of last-minute choices.
( Fact: In most colleges, students spend 4 years preparing for exams and only a few months preparing for jobs. )
The Impact of Strong Mentorship
With the right mentorship in place:
- Students gain confidence early
- Learning becomes focused and goal-driven
- Mistakes are corrected on time
- Growth becomes consistent and measurable
Instead of relearning skills after graduation, BST students grow into engineers while they are still in college.
Final Thought: The Right Mentorship Changes Everything
At Bosscoder School of Technology, mentorship bridges the gap between potential and performance. It ensures students don’t just earn a degree, but gain clarity, confidence, and real-world readiness.
In a world where technology evolves fast, having the right mentor can change the entire journey. BST doesn’t leave students to figure things out alone, it walks with them, guides them, and prepares them for real tech careers.
That’s why mentorship matters at Bosscoder School of Technology.
