Why are you thinking about dropping out? How busy are you? Do you have a bn dollar company to manage and shit? If not, i know millions who manage to do a software course along with their degree. What makes you any different?

During college you can easily do stuffs as your passion work and get a decent score preparing a night before the exam.

Dropping out might be a reckless decision , as much as knowledge is necessary, The paper proof to back it up is as important. There used to be a time when dropping out used to be a fad. I will assure you that anyone who dropped out thinking it was a fad regrets dropping out today despite being successful in their vertical. If you can’t persevere to complete your course that you’ve taken up, then you might not be able to persevere at other things.

Please finish your degree. While it's true that some developers succeed without degrees, having one still matters significantly - especially for career growth and international opportunities. That said, mechanical engineering + programming skills can be incredibly valuable in certain sectors. I've seen mechanical engineers who code get hired quickly for specialized roles in manufacturing automation, simulation, and product development. If you drop out now, you'll forever be explaining that decision in interviews.

Absolutely DO NOT drop out. Finish your degree no matter what. I've been hiring software engineers for years and I can tell you that the lack of a degree is an immediate red flag for many HR departments. Yes, some companies don't care, but why limit your options? The 2-year gap is already something you'll need to explain, but a completed degree shows perseverance and commitment. You can learn full stack development on the side through online courses or bootcamps while finishing your final year. Mechanical engineering + software skills is actually a powerful combination that could land you great roles in industries like robotics, automotive, or industrial IoT.

Don’t drop out bro
