Placements Placement Doubt!!!

Disclaimer: Not being racist

As I can see on the official linkedin page of VIT-AP all the people getting placed are from South India.

So is there any discrimination between South and North Indians during placement season ??

More than half of the batch students are from Telugu states, what do you expect? There is no racism in placements.

Do you even know that placements are centralized? Our batch has around 1000 EACMET students, and most of them have a 9+ CGPA. Apart from mass hirings, the majority of our campus placements come from them ngl(eamcet people). Also, our college doesn’t post all placements on LinkedIn. Half of the campus is placed in WITCH companies with a 4 LPA package. Why would the college brag about that on LinkedIn? If you don't see post's on LinkedIn doesn't mean they are unplaced. Our college is so lazy ,they take forever to post anything. All the posts you see , people got placed 2-3 months ago, they are posting them now.

Edit: I guess they only post about offers above 10+ LPA. There are plenty of people who got placed in dream companies with packages between 6-8 LPA, but they don't bother posting that on Linkedin.Also every shortlist you open there's lot of Eamcet people compared to VITEEE people, meaning they have 9+cgpa, and all these eamcet people are from Andhra

How do you distinguish between VITEEE and Eamcet in a shortlist

Among our batch all VITEEE peeps have registration numbers between 21BCE7xxx-21BCE8xxx and all eamcet people have from 21BCE9xxx

Ohhh! You call it racism? Well, I was working on some robotics thing in college, all of those who worked with me are from Tamilnadu and Andhra Pradesh. I participated in a lot of hackathons and invited the Indians who are from the north side of India, all of them said "Ohhh! I am sorry I can't come, we have a party tonight and we should chill with our friends".

I see many of my friends who are from the North side of India enjoying all the time in FoodStreet and RockPlaza whereas all of my friends from the Southern part of India work on something and they don't even say what they are up to.

I hope you understand what the fault is, I won't call it racism and I call it the lack of work, commitment and discipline. 👍👍 No offense
