I am in my second year of MBA at one of the IIM LKI. Due to the bad economy my campus placements have taken a hit similar to ISB and IIM B. The worst part is I am not understanding where I am going wrong. As per my understanding I gave an exceptional interview to one of top Indian IT services but I still wasn't hired in spite of having an IT background with 3 years work ex in IT services
Tech interviews were easy. You either know the answer or you don't
I asked one of my seniors. He said they mostly look for culture fit!!!
some bg: I have hired over 30+ candidates from tier 1 college for CTC upto 2Cr+ ---+ Sometimes, we just don't hire over energetic or over confident candidates. I had alot of candidates following me up asking why they weren't selected..

there was simply better candidates than you
a company might need an over-smart person, mostly because they might demand more salary later on, or might not be loyal etc...

don't be mesmerized by words, most HRs tend to be kind or reason 2, she later interviewed better candidate

Bro what is the average package in your college? I'm planning to do MBA and right now I've 2yoe as a developer, so knowing the real average package will help me fine tune my decision
22-25 lpa CTC
