Companies coming for placement are selecting more Girls than boys this year. Any specific reason ?

I am from a Tier 1 college and we've our placement season going on. A lot of companies are visiting our campus and we noticed companies are recruiting more girls than boys. Even though they are less skilled. I am not against their empowerment or want to dominate them. I am just being curious over here. Any few findings from HR Dept.?

What diversity sister, guys who had single handedly built multiple projects are getting rejected and papa ki paris who haven't ever opened any competitive coding platform or have never built any projects are getting placed.

Guess companies don't want employees who can use their brains.
Though your point can be valid for humans in general, having another organs need not be differentiating factor

This year??? Bruh this has been happening for the last decade or so in the name of diversity hiring and getting the ratios for men and women equal in the workforce

How do you know less skilled? Academic marks isn’t equivalent to interview skills and atm problem solving skills.

These things are necessary for the firms though annoying for applicants. One of my friends got hired in Delhi at a bank. Her role involved working from 4 different branches in her region during the week. She mentioned once that Wednesdays thru Fridays were her shittiest coz those branches did not have female washrooms and she had to make do entire day. This was very sad.

When a firm's employee ratio becomes skewed, these things happen and they (rightfully so) go into overdrive in addressing that. This problem is very skewed especially in Tech roles where teams are over 90% male.

Apply elsewhere and don't think much abt this.
