Video Description
I barely managed 60% marks in my Board Exams. I failed JEEs twice , and got into a Tier 3 college in Kolkata (UEM Kolkata) , where we were the very first batch. Coming from state board , I couldn't understand coding , and used to feel lost , when I saw my classmates knowing 2-3 programming languages. As we were the very first batch , we had no seniors to guide us , nor there were too many online resources to help me , way back in 2015. I got 6 pointers in my first semester , but thankfully that improved in the later semesters. I never got any good internship opportunity , as people refused to give me referrals based on my college tag. I didn't knew where my life was heading towards. In 2018 , in my final year of college , I got rejected by TCS , and in 2019 , I started working for a service based company , due to lack of good placement opportunities. I remember during placements, our college was not even eligible for Hack with Infy , a coding competition run by Infosys. From there , I managed to work for MAANG. Sharing my journey in this video , not to flex , but to motivate , inspire people , and also to spread awareness based on my experiences and learnings. But it wasn’t magic. It was strategy, persistence, and finding the right mindset. 🔥 Don’t forget to like, share, and subscribe if this video helps you. #Tier3College
