Balancing Academics with Tech Side Projects - Need Time Management Tips - Admin - 10-11-2025
Hello fellow students! I'm in my 3rd year of Computer Science and struggling to balance coursework with building my portfolio through side projects. I want to contribute to open source and build personal projects, but exams and assignments take up most of my time. How do you all manage? Should I focus more on academics or is it worth sacrificing some study time for practical experience? Any tips from seniors who've been through this?
