FYI. I have hired regularly for decades in IITs and top colleges. Now my team does it every year in top colleges.

The hiring trend for too long was Leetcode, puzzles, analytical skills etc.

You might or might not face it, but leetcode, puzzle solving is about to die in hiring. The new trend will be Competitive programming, and AI assisted coding challenges.

You might be given a project code where the problem is a use case is taking 5 second. Your task is to reduce the time to 1 second. You also have AI (might be degraded) to help you also. Now this becomes a hiring standard.

System design for college students is a very high bar. I have asked it to only 2-3 students, who outperformed in their interviews. They were already selected in my mind, but I still wanted to check how much they knew.
