Check: PSU Recruitment Without GATE
Many top rankers fail in PSU interviews due to:
Overconfidence
Poor GD preparation
Weak technical fundamentals
Lack of HR preparation
No knowledge of company profile
Even candidates under AIR 100 sometimes fail to convert PSU interviews, while lower-ranked students get selected due to better interview performance.
Many candidates with 65+ marks face confusion:
You want job security and salary immediately.
You are interested in core engineering roles.
You want stable government career growth (especially with upcoming 8th Pay Commission impact).
You want research or academic career.
You aim for PSUs after specialization.
You want placement in high-paying private sector jobs.
Top IITs can open strong placement opportunities, but PSU jobs provide long-term stability.
