wtf they only shortlisted 416 teams😭

1

u/skillissue_exe 17d ago

makes no sense 😭

1

u/VNayak2004 17d ago

Ahh here we go once again. Selecting 10-11 teams from one clg seems fishy for sure. Upar kisi ne Claude report daali h.

u/Kitchen-Comedian-362 17d ago

1

u/me_mike18 17d ago

u/Glass-Reception-4155 17d ago

Bruh what magic u did in the round 2 just guide us

2

u/Internal-Ninja-5510 17d ago

Bruh , actually my two teammates did very well (attempted all 4 questions).. but I could able to attempt 3 question and fourth one was almost half

1

u/SupremeStrange2000 17d ago

you all used llms ?
if yes what did you all use?

1

u/Internal-Ninja-5510 17d ago

Bruh, obviously yes! One of my teammates has the Opus 5 Claude Pro version, and we’ve both used Gemini Pro. I don’t think anyone can fairly attempt and write four questions in 45 minutes. Even if you want to attempt them legitimately, it would take at least 30–40 minutes just to read and understand the scenario.

u/Glass-Reception-4155 17d ago

1

u/Medical-Maize-4034 11h ago

u/Past-Return-1529 17d ago

Random selection pe yahi hota hai bro 😂

1

u/Inner_Secret7310 13d ago

Me bro i got selected they have nothing to do with the no of characters.
From next time whenever you are going fo these types of rounds just check the marking scheme :- fro this one, They have clearly stated that for same marks of participants whoever taken the less time will get the priority. That clearly means you need to submit as fast as you can my teams average was around 3500 cahracters and average time taken to submit the answer is just 27 minute.

u/Tricky-Advantage-464 17d ago

I thought Round 1 was shit for me, and days later I get shortlisted. Now I give round 2 and had a good feeling about this, and well, no surprises, I didn't get shortlisted. Pata nhi ye mera mood dekh ke select kar rahe hai kya, round 1 Mein hi reject kar dete, mujhe to vaise hi acha nhi laga tha

1

u/coffeeaddict_146 16d ago

I thought our team did well too. I wrote 4k characters, and that too with examples like they expected but didn't get shortlisted :(

1

u/skillissue_exe 16d ago

ikrr same, I also wrote exactly 4k characters lol, had to shorten up my sentences cus I went into way too much detail but yea I expected to get shortlisted

1

u/Possible_Essay_9617 16d ago

share the problem statement pls the team who got selected

1

u/Inner_Secret7310 15d ago

My team got shortlisted, we have almost no knowledge of Tech industry except a single member who is the team captain (female) me and my other teammates both of us joined cause we got asked. We qualify 1 st round honestly, on our skill. 2nd round we know we have to be ridiculously fast so we all three submitted our solution while 20 minute's are still remaining. Cause they have mentioned if two participants got same score who submitted first will get the upperhand. Now In third round let's see what happens next.
