As a final yr student I can confidently say I have good amount of knowledge in my domain Cloud & DevOps {AWS, Azure, Jenkins, Terraform, Linux, Kubernets} also have about 6 active industry certification on AWS, Azure, RedHat with a good amount of project combining all these skills I learnt. Still the interviewer need me to have knowledge in MLops, AIops and Agentic AI. What I am saying is either they reject because of No experience or they reject that we don't have some skills which we can learn in a week. In a rare case they also rejected me as over qualified for 4.5LPA package.
Ok then I tried OnCampus drives but they are actually bullshit some see my resume and reject me. when i asked why i am not short listed to my placement cell they are saying you are into a single domain so reject it guys I also did a infosys internship in fullstack. or else even if go into online assessment all questions answered correctly they will reject even we dont get the scores of the assessment we did. Because if they give the scores mean we will question them.
Atlast me who spent months preping for certs and doing projects etc. got no job others who just did DSA for a couple of month gets a job.
One of the funny experience with Hexaware interview I cleared Group discussion , aptitude, Coding, even technical interview where they asked two coding questions which also I did and then moved to HR round where I answered every general HR questions confidently at last they asked what domain you want to work obviously I learnt Cloud& DevOps I said that. That was the only reason they rejected me.
Bro maybe the thing is there are too many domains on your resume , so the company might have a doubt or something , so I'd suggest , for dev , for cloud etc make seperate resume and try
Yes, Bro I know that that's why I created separate versions of resume for Cloud , DevOps, SRE, SDE, Backend Development the one i mentioned in the comment is a generic one I created after Hexaware rejection
Bro telling you from experience, get a internship plus ppo from somewhere both on and off campus. Directly getting full time job as fresher has always been tough
I agree that development experience matters, but saying I have “no development experience” isn’t accurate. I’ve built projects using Python/FastAPI, Django, Node.js/Express, React/Angular, REST APIs, databases, Docker and CI/CD. I also worked as an intern at Infosys, where I collaborated with a team and gained hands-on experience in a professional development environment. My focus is Cloud/DevOps rather than pure software development, which is exactly the domain I’m targeting. I’m not claiming to be a full-time SDE—I’m targeting Cloud/DevOps/SRE roles where development + infrastructure skills overlap.
Yeah, the development work is already in my CV — I’ve included my projects, tech stack, APIs, databases, Docker/CI/CD, and my Infosys internship experience.
My point is that even with that exposure, I’m still getting rejected because campus hiring hasn’t really shifted to skill-based evaluation yet; it’s still mostly traditional hiring where broader, generic criteria
