It is not important to get a laptop in 1st year. It is completely your choice as to buy it or not. If you want to learn new technologies in software industry then you can go ahead otherwise no!

Have a nice day!

Hello Aspirant,

Your question is very valid and important. Every college might have different requirements but a few can be generalized here. If you have a laptop currently that doesn't match the specifications your college has, another alternative could be to upgrade the current laptop.

i5 Processor

6-8 GB RAM

64 bit processor

Try to choose a laptop with high battery so that it will be able to work smoothly.

Also, a suggestion, choose a light weight laptop so that its not a pain to carry it along all the time.

Choosing Window OS will be more preferable to MAC OS because Word, PowerPoint works on Windows. And also a few study material apps which the college may offer may not work on MAC OS. (Experienced this)

All the work you have in MBA needs laptop so choose wisely.

I hope this helps!

its not about neeeded or not but make sure you maintain one as it wiould be further useful in projects and many more activities learn all the basics.downloading some programmes and labview suchkinds will be useful to u .

in the first year of college you barely have any need of laptop or computer as mostly u will be provided withcomputer for practice in college.

i suggest to maintain a laptop as you will be using it in the btech for sure.
