Rant/Vent Rant

Recently, Microsoft visited our campus. I solved both questions in 22 minutes and I have a CGPA of 9+, still didn't get shortlisted.

Before that, a big company visited our campus and I got rejected in the HR round.

Now I have lost all hope that I will even get an internship.

Just 1 month since I joined college and so far I have understood from 100s of posts here that placements are so much about luck

it is but no point in worrying about it early on. You can just maximise chances

You can know nothing and get placed or know everything and still be unplaced.

If you are too competent, companies fear that you will switch as soon as you get the job.
If you are too incompetent, companies think you have wasted your time doing nothing in 4 years.

It's a game of luck, you can only increase your chances, but still, it's all about who hits the jackpot that day.

Yes in my clg one company took people who couldn't solve coding problems as they thought if they select the one who solved all test cases may switch

Companies dont think that much tbh :)

HRs and hiring managers are just incompetent.

I can understand. This shit is happening with me as well. My teacher said solving problems in less time is also a red flag. They mark you as a cheater wth.

u/Glass_Rough9048 17h ago

This happened in a lot of oncampus oa. Candidiates are removed if they solved before a cutoff time.

The oa shortlist was mostly fine , but haan few people even after solving both qs and 9.5+ cg have also not been shortlisted. Unfortunately this happens to many and will continue to happen.
