For quite some time, there has been a change in the pattern of recruiting in companies. Companies are going to campus to recruit, but they are also starting their own hackathon-type processes. This has been highlighted by their recruiters.
Actually, they are looking for people already well-versed in their domain so that they do not have to work on the basics when they get recruited. Competitions like Hackathons push you to learn on your own the things they want from you. Needless to say, the colleges or institutions cannot ever teach the things required in industry because you will be worked on your basics. They work on specifics. Colleges can try to narrow this gap but cannot cover it. It is like a limit tends to zero type analogy. Therefore, students are expected to learn many things on their own through these competitions.
Many people participate in these types of competitions and get a rank. They get scholarships and paid internships also. Later on, they are inducted into the company. It is like they are accepting fanboy-type of people to their companies. So, students can also look into this avenue.
Moreover, many recruiters still complain about students not knowing how to draft a ‘resume’ or ‘CV’. These concepts have become fundamental and should be familiar to every student.
