About PathForge
PathForge is an AI-powered placement preparation platform built for Indian engineering students — specifically CSE students targeting product-based companies like Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and leading Indian tech firms.
Founded by Abhinav
Builder · CSE Student · India
PathForge was built by Abhinav, a CSE student who experienced firsthand the chaos of campus placement preparation — scattered resources, no structured plan, and no way to know if you were actually ready. PathForge is the platform he wished existed when he was preparing.
The problem we solve
Most Indian CSE students approaching campus placements have no structured plan. They know they need DSA, DBMS, OS, system design, and a decent CGPA — but they don't know what to do today, in what order, at what depth.
They scatter across YouTube tutorials, random LeetCode sessions, and PDF checklists with no feedback loop. Two months before placement season, they panic.
PathForge gives every student a personalised, adaptive plan — built by AI using their actual semester, target companies, skill gaps, and daily progress. Not a generic checklist. A plan built for them.
