Dear Aspirant,

It is not mandatory but you should buy one as most of the softwares you learn in the college, you need to make some projects on them and for that you will be needing a PC or  laptop. If you need suggestion on which laptop to buy, comment down with the budget. However, for general purposes, 8GB RAM, 2GB Graphic Card, Intel i5-9th/10th Gen and 256GB SSD will be a good combination. Moreover, go with the laptop as it is portable and therefore increase your productivity.

Hope this helps. Thank you.
