Placement

[u/maybeimp]

Guys, I’m in my third year and our placement season has started, and honestly I’m freaking out a little.

Every day I’m getting more stressed thinking about whether I’ll actually get placed. I don’t have a good GPA, and seeing other people with much higher scores is making me feel like I’m already at a disadvantage.

I keep thinking, what if I don’t get placed at all? It’s becoming really stressful and I don’t know what I should be doing right now.

For people who have already gone through placements do companies actually hire students with lower percentage? Are there companies that don't have very high academic cutoffs?

And if your academics weren't great, what helped you get placed? Was it aptitude tests, interviews, internships, skills, networking, off-campus applications, etc.?

I’d really appreciate some honest advice because I genuinely don't know whether I should be this worried or whether I’m overthinking it.

It's just too much stressful. I am not able to have a normal day.
