Process

I had to go through three rounds of online exams: aptitude, business communication, and finally programming, to qualify for the interview. Each round of the written exam was an elimination round.

After a long process, 47 students qualified for the interview out of a total of 400. After that, the main joke happened during the interview when girls were given more priority. Even after a perfect interview, I was not selected.

I don't know, perhaps they were there just to kid with us because I was asked only one technical question, and I answered that perfectly. The rest of the interview was like normal talk about leadership skills and projects.

I was wondering why I wasn't asked any other questions. Were they just kidding with me or going through the formality because I cleared their written exam?

And the main joke happened when the girl who said her interview was just medium got selected.

Were you really kidding with the lives of male students? Why wasn't I asked any appropriate questions?

If you really want to increase the ratio of girls, then why don't you just allow only female students?

This explains why you are doing so bad in the market. Please don't play with others' lives. This is really bad from a company which I really used to admire so much.

Questions

They only put one joke on the name of TR round.
