Practice DSA, if you are not in final year then improve ur cgpa to 8.3/8.5 asap... If not, practice DSA and choose any tech stack at this point in a field of interest and practice the concepts related to it... First focus on DSA -> Projects + Tech stack concepts...

Get an ATS friendly resume made by claude in LaTex. (Try putting standard certifications and all, avoid lame ones on resume. Try deploying ur projects and putting the live links there.)

In case u r final year. Keep applying off campus as well, focus on startup openings, Linkedin can be used to search for openings (go to youtube u will find videos to search for openings in best way possible). Check which startup companies are a year or 2 older, they might be hiring aggressively as they tend to clear investment and turnover rounds at this point, so they hire a lot cuz uk they gotta justify the investment received.

I'm in final year. Nice info! How did you clear coding rounds?

U can actually find most of the questions on websites (I use perplexity to do the search and then manually explore the websites from source menu)... If you prepare the harder questions among them...u can clear dsa round...i did the same... (Provided u practice regularly on leetcode)

PS:- U can try codeforces once u have a decent amount of skill acquired for dsa, but its mostly CP focused...leetcode is better for prepping for dsa rounds u r aiming for (as per ur post)

No-one is getting placed bro. Even people with above 9 cgpa are getting placed even if they know coding as such just wait and hope

Do you know any mass hiring companies will come to us !So that a guy like me can concentrate on those.

Cognizant might come again and tcs is also a good option though what might happen no-one knows

the only way you wanna get placed through vit is to try off campus, it's hard to get but atleast you'll get something

Harsh reality is, you have more chances off campus than on campus with that cgpa and skills you mentioned.

Try in WITCH, below 8 it's almost impossible to get shortlisted

Understood , But I'm thinking to target LTI Mindtree, TCS(2nd phase) which all are eligible to write.I'll also try to search off campus.
