My brother had been in this situation last year. It was his last year of engineering and every day new companies were visiting their college. He being an average student and not planning for higher studies, choose to participate in placement drives. He was not able to clear even the first round i.e aptitude test. But all of his friends who were preparing for CAT and taking coaching were able to. After 2–3 companies he became hopeless since he couldn’t qualify for any of those companies. He thought that he may not get placed and we were aware of his situation. So we advised him make attempt and in case you not get any job then its fine. But he was just not ready to fail at this point and want make the most of it. He studied harder from YouTube and then the next company (Accenture )came to college luckily he cleared the first round that was aptitude after that in couple of hours 2nd round started personal interview+technical interview. Here let me tell you Accenture is a mass recruiter, there were two room in one room there was a ma’am and in another there was a sir. That ma’am selected the candidates and the sir on other side rejected doesn’t matter how strong you are or how weak you are,it was a pure game of luck that day for my brother. So, he sent to that sir room and as a result he got rejected and was shattered by that fact.
We told him not to worry as only 5–6 companies has visited the whole year companies visit the college and somehow he tried in next company i.e Wipro. Cleared the first round (aptitude) second round took place in couple of hours (technical) cleared that also and next day personal interview happen cleared that also
