I have 4 years of study gap with no work experience. I passed BTech from EE in 2018. How much will this affect my admission and job placement?

A four-year gap can raise questions, but it's how you frame this period that matters. In my case, I focused on the skills and knowledge I gained during this time, whether it was through self-study, volunteering, or personal projects. When applying for admissions, I was transparent about my gap years, emphasising my eagerness to return to academics and how the break had helped me gain clarity about my career goals. 

For job placements, I found that most employers valued my maturity and the unique perspectives I brought, rather than focusing on the gap. So, my advice? Be honest, highlight any informal learning, and show how your unique journey adds value.
