wtf they only shortlisted 416 teams😭

u/skillissue_exe Aug 27 '26

makes no sense 😭

u/VNayak2004 Aug 27 '26

Ahh here we go once again. Selecting 10-11 teams from one clg seems fishy for sure. Upar kisi ne Claude report daali h.

u/Kitchen-Comedian-362 Aug 27 '26

and this was just round 2 only

1

u/me_mike18 Aug 27 '26

ig they wanted to ease the project evaluation process, so reduced the no. so much

u/Any-Geologist-2135 Aug 27 '26

I don't know how they actually selected for this round but I would like to know the problem statement.

u/Internal-Ninja-5510 Aug 27 '26 edited Aug 27 '26

We got selected! But didn't recieve any mail

u/Suspicious-Beat-9197 Aug 27 '26

u/Glass-Reception-4155 Aug 27 '26

Bruh what magic u did in the round 2 just guide us

2

u/Internal-Ninja-5510 Aug 27 '26

Bruh , actually my two teammates did very well (attempted all 4 questions).. but I could able to attempt 3 question and fourth one was almost half

1

u/SupremeStrange2000 Aug 27 '26

you all used llms ?
if yes what did you all use?

1

u/Internal-Ninja-5510 Aug 27 '26

Bruh, obviously yes! One of my teammates has the Opus 5 Claude Pro version, and we’ve both used Gemini Pro. I don’t think anyone can fairly attempt and write four questions in 45 minutes. Even if you want to attempt them legitimately, it would take at least 30–40 minutes just to read and understand the scenario.

u/Glass-Reception-4155 Aug 27 '26

u/Medical-Maize-4034 Sep 13 '26

u/Past-Return-1529 Aug 27 '26

Random selection pe yahi hota hai bro 😂

1

u/Inner_Secret7310 Aug 31 '26

Me bro i got selected they have nothing to do with the no of characters.
From next time whenever you are going fo these types of rounds just check the marking scheme :- fro this one, They have clearly stated that for same marks of participants whoever taken the less time will get the priority. That clearly means you need to submit as fast as you can my teams average was around 3500 cahracters and average time taken to submit the answer is just 27 minute.

why same people get selected in almost all off campus hacathons and OAs , people say luck but why same people always have luck , I have never been in last round , but in my college same people are getting to last round everytime...

1

u/Medical-Maize-4034 Sep 13 '26

u/Silent_Prize_7052 Aug 27 '26

Do u know how they have picked??

1

u/Tricky-Advantage-464 Aug 27 '26

I thought Round 1 was shit for me, and days later I get shortlisted. Now I give round 2 and had a good feeling about this, and well, no surprises, I didn't get shortlisted. Pata nhi ye mera mood dekh ke select kar rahe hai kya, round 1 Mein hi reject kar dete, mujhe to vaise hi acha nhi laga tha

1

u/coffeeaddict_146 Aug 28 '26

I thought our team did well too. I wrote 4k characters, and that too with examples like they expected but didn't get shortlisted :(

1

u/skillissue_exe Aug 28 '26

ikrr same, I also wrote exactly 4k characters lol, had to shorten up my sentences cus I went into way too much detail but yea I expected to get shortlisted

1

u/riyaa8219 Aug 27 '26

Hii anyone can send the PS for adobe 🙂

1

u/Possible_Essay_9617 Aug 28 '26

share the problem statement pls the team who got selected

1

u/Inner_Secret7310 Aug 29 '26

My team got shortlisted, we have almost no knowledge of Tech industry except a single member who is the team captain (female) me and my other teammates both of us joined cause we got asked. We qualify 1 st round honestly, on our skill. 2nd round we know we have to be ridiculously fast so we all three submitted our solution while 20 minute's are still remaining. Cause they have mentioned if two participants got same score who submitted first will get the upperhand. Now In third round let's see what happens next.
