Self-Study or Classes: Which Path to Computer Engineering After High School?

AI Thread Summary
To pursue a Bachelor’s degree in computer engineering or related fields like Bachelor of Computer Applications or Bachelor in Computer Science, formal classes are typically required. While self-study can help in understanding foundational subjects such as physics, chemistry, and mathematics, it does not replace the need for accredited coursework. Most universities mandate the completion of specific course requirements, usually exceeding 100 credits, to earn a degree. Although self-study may allow students to test out of certain lower-level courses, this generally does not contribute to the total credit requirements for graduation. Therefore, while self-study can supplement learning, it cannot substitute for the structured curriculum necessary to obtain a Bachelor's degree from a reputable institution.

i wanted to ask you after high school passing grade 12
when we do computer engineering courses like Bachelor of computer applications, Bachelor in computer science,,B of technology

we can do self study or classes is required for these courses

as computer engineering courses will have subjects like physics,chemistry,maths so we had in high school also so we if know physics,chemistry,maths,computer science very well so as a fundamental or foundation for computer engineering
we can do computer engineering courses subjects by self study

As I understand it, you cannot receive a Bachelor's of anything without completing the requirements specific to that course and university/school. This almost always involves 100+ credits received by passing courses offered by that university or school or by completing equivalent courses in other universities and schools and transferring those credits over to the new one.

You cannot receive a Bachelor's degree from any respectable university of school by doing self-study.

Having said that, you might be able to self-study for a particular low-level course and take a test to skip it. Doing so can let you bypass certain prerequisites and move on to other classes, but this is almost always limited to lower-level courses, not upper-level ones, and usually doesn't count towards the number of credits your degree requires.

TL;DR Summary: What topics to cover to safely say I know arithmetic ? I am learning arithmetic from Indian NCERT textbook. Currently I have finished addition ,substraction of 2 digit numbers and divisions, multiplication of 1 digit numbers. I am moving pretty slowly. Can someone tell me what topics to cover first to build a framework and then go on in detail. I want to learn fast. It has taken me a year now learning arithmetic. I want to speed up. Thanks for the help in advance. (I also...
Hi community My aim is to get into research about atoms, specifically, I want to do experimental research that explores questions like: 1. Why do Gallium/Mercury have low melting points 2. Why are there so many exceptions and inconsistencies when it comes to explaining molecular structures / reaction mechanisms in inorganic and organic chemistry 3. Experimental research about fundamental Quantum Mechanics, such as the one being followed by Hiroshima university that proved that observing...
guys i am currently studying in computer science engineering [1st yr]. i was intrested in physics when i was in high school. due to some circumstances i chose computer science engineering degree. so i want to incoporate computer science engineering with physics and i came across computational physics. i am intrested studying it but i dont know where to start. can you guys reccomend me some yt channels or some free courses or some other way to learn the computational physics.
