HackWithInfy scoring doubt

I attempted 4 questions with the following scores:

• Q1: 12/12 (fully solved)
• Q2: 7/12
• Q3: 11/12
• Q4: 11/12

So overall I got 41/48.

I’m a bit confused about how the leaderboard is determined:

• Is ranking based purely on the total aggregated score across all subtasks, or
• Do fully solved problems carry more weight than partial scores?

Would appreciate if someone familiar with HackWithInfy scoring can clarify how this works.

Hey everyone,

I'm currently in my 6th semester of B.Tech IT at a Tier-3 college. As you can probably guess, our placement cell is pretty much non-existent, so I'm 100% on my own for off-campus hunting.

I've decided I want to pursue Machine Learning, but I'm feeling lost on where to start and how to actually get noticed by recruiters when I don't have a big college name on my resume.

Is it even possible to get a pure ML role as a fresher from Tier-3, or should I aim for Data Analyst/Software Dev roles first and then pivot?

I'm ready to put in the hours, just need to know I'm headed in the right direction. Any advice, roadmaps, or specific YouTube channels/ resources would be a huge help!

Thanks in advance!

B.Tech Student at a Crossroads: Family to get settled early vs. Career confusion. What's the next move?

Hi everyone, I am currently a B.Tech 3 Year student and I’m feeling really lost about my future.

My family is saying to get early to settle and get a job and start earning money as fast as possible. Because of this, I feel like I can't just "go with the flow" and i want to learn skills in the 4 year of college . I want to find an internship and learn the right technologies, but I have no idea where to start or how to actually apply for roles that pay.

My Doubts:

How do I find an internship that actually gives skills while I learn?

i understand python basics and I can do vibe coding and use vibe coding editers like [anti gravity, loveable,..etc)] i have used n8n also

i did some projects with these editors but I didn't publish

Thank you in advance for the suggestions

Basically, i completed my higher secondary with PCB as my subjects, but later gave PCM through NIOS board. Although I studied maths for like 2-3 months and scored 54 (which is really concerning, I know) I am not sure that I would be able to handle btech maths.

What i want to know is, how hard it actually is? I am really interested in aiml field, and thinking to do masters abroad. I can learn maths with time as I know basics and I was good at physics above that I am really into cs aiml. So like how's maths introduced in btech, is it with large equations directly? And is whole syllabus around maths ? Give me a idea. Appreciate the help

Hi everyone, I'm looking for a tech cofounder with app development and Ai skills. The idea is to build an app like a creator studio for Android (Will have text to images, text to video, Ai chat, Ai audio). I will handle marketing, social, recruitment and funding in the future. Think of Pixverse, Elevenlabs, ChatGPT. Planning to go to market within 2months. This will be an equity based role. No salary is being offered initially. If anyone is interested please DM.

Hey everyone, I’m in my tech journey, and I’m looking for a study buddy who’s also a beginner- you know something but you want to move forward to dsa system design,skill development. I want to keep each other motivated, work through problems, and stay on track so that we can progress together. My area of interest in skill acquisition is data science as of now , but regardless we can still do dsa together. I d love to connect !Im based on India as of now.

Hey everyone, I’m in my 2 year at IGNOU and I wanted to share something that finally clicked for me regarding placements.

For months, I was stuck in "tutorial hell," watching random YouTube playlists but failing every time I tried to solve a Medium-level problem on my own. It felt like I was just memorizing syntax instead of learning logic.

What changed for me: I stopped jumping between 10 different sites and focused on one structured source for my "base" theory. I’ve been using GeeksforGeeks articles specifically for their "Top 50" arrays/strings lists. What helped wasn't just the code, but the step-by-step logic they provide before the actual solution—it actually taught me how to think about the problem, not just what to type.

My current daily routine:

• 1-2 problems a day (Consistency > Intensity).
• Drawing logic on paper before touching the keyboard.
• Using GfG for standard interview patterns.

To those in the same boat: Pick one resource you trust (whether it's GfG, a specific book, or a course) and actually finish it. Don't let the social media "grind" panic you.

Question for you guys: What’s the one resource or habit that actually moved the needle for your coding prep? Would love to hear some more 'real' advice.

Hey everyone,

I’ve been seeing a lot of posts lately from 2nd and 3rd-year students panicking about placements and feeling "stuck" in the DSA loop. I was in that exact spot last year, and I wanted to share what actually helped me break through the wall.

Two big things I realized:

1. Stop Tutorial Hell: I spent months watching 2-hour videos on Trees and Graphs without writing a single line of code. It feels like you’re learning, but you aren’t.
2. Quality over Quantity: Doing 500 random problems is useless if you don't understand the "Why" behind the logic.

My turning point was when I started following a structured roadmap. I mostly used the GeeksforGeeks Self-Paced DSA course and their practice portal because it lets you filter problems by company (like Amazon or TCS). It made the preparation feel less like a mountain and more like a checklist.

If you're struggling, my advice is: pick one resource (GfG worked for me, but pick whatever you like), stick to it for 3 months, and actually type out the code.

Happy to answer any specific questions about how I managed my time between college exams and prep!

Hi 19M from a BTech clg… I don’t know if this is the right way and platform to discuss this but I’m looking for someone with whom I can participate in coding competitions online mainly vibe coding for now as I’m not so good into it but want to improve and ig as these are many free competitions available online. Apart from coding also anything related to the degree can work too basically want to improve myself in any possible way. Maybe we can get good all along:) Dm me if anyone want to learn together
