If you are studying security or development online from Lucknow, two local groups are worth joining early. OWASP Lucknow runs free meetups, workshops and talks on application security, and you can sign up through its Meetup page. Bring a question from your coursework, say about an injection lab or a misconfigured header, and ask someone who handles these issues at work.
GDG Lucknow holds DevFest Lucknow each year, with hands-on sessions on Cloud, Android, Firebase and AI. Students at Integral University also have a GDG on Campus chapter that co-hosts it. Going to one DevFest after a few weeks of class is a good test of what you have learned. Sit in on a workshop, talk to speakers afterwards, and you may find a mentor who will review your projects later on.
Independent community groups, listed for reference. They are not run by or affiliated with WebAsha.
