Here even in IIT we are facing this gender bias hiring from ages. So I am pretty sure about the situation in other colleges and off-campus would be even worse. There is one more thing which needs to be said. See we all know how the competition among engineers for Product Based companies in India is increasing day by day. There is a website for anonymous employee discussion called TeamBlind where you can clearly see that how difficult it is to get a job in Product based companies in India compared to other countries, may be due to the high population. In the US, the only thing required to crack a coding interview is solving some medium Leetcode questions. But here in India people are doing CP for that, and they are not wrong I guess, given the level of questions asked by these companies in India. People are even cramming questions on gfg for clearing the Interviews, so that they know the optimal solutions quickly and I guess this is also due to the growing competition. As if this was not enough, now there is a gender bias in hiring too.

This platform is full of people like him.Everybody tries to help each other but when you get rejected after scoring 200/200 and on the other hand someone with 15/200 is getting selected just because of gender,then a sane person is bound to lose their calm and i think everyone should protest against these unfair policies irrespective of gender.
P.S- Simps must stay away from here

@rajrighta Hey, Itâs not at all the fault of girls. Even some girls at my college suffer due to this. Efforts of some well deserving girls are also undermined due to this biased hiring. I hope my comments are not violating community regulations. I know this effects both the gender and probably this will lead to further hatred between genders at the workplace. Like boy will say ki ladki thi isliye ho gaya and girl will say him misogynist. Thatâs why I am speaking against this gender biased hiring policies.

Itâs not just 1 or 2âŚevery company which visits on campus are pre-determined to take atleast 40% of the recruits as girls and now the off campus hires are also going like this.I believe an engineer should be recruited on the basis of skills not on the basis of gender and most importantly,if u ever had to face a situation like this,then only will u understand the pain after working so hard and getting rejected.
P.S- I appreciate u spreading good vibes but that ainât enough,bud!

Maybe bhai, mujhe Google m milne jaise coding ati nhi. Lekin jo bola h ekdum sach h, ye Online Coding ka isbar aesa kar diya, nhi to everytime, 300 rank wale kickstart or Codejam m, call/mail aate e h, provided wo Resume round m shortlist ho jaye.
yeah we are with you we will stop this discrimination
I have written this earlier on another post but since codechef banned that thread so I am writing this again.
Just promise ourselves that we would never do this kind of simping once we reach in the position of those simp guys. Only then something could be done. The ones who do this are not from any other planet, they are just like us. So, until and unless we donât promise ourselves to stop it, this would continue.

wow!!!
That discussion was on fire!!
I guess that Code Chef canât stand a discussion based on facts because they closed a post which was much needed and honestly it wonât change anything but it wasnât doing any harm to anyone.
My answer is a bit long so please skip to end if you donât have time to read complete but I say you read complete as this took a lot of time to write.
In India discrimination still exists and the discrimination is with a lot of people(us). All you need is be a boy of General category and you will be discriminated in such a way, no other place can offer that. They will say that you are from a superior group of people and at same time block more than 50-60% opportunities for you in form of reservation based on cast and then they will block more based on gender. If you are a average boy in General category without a established family business, you are ****ed in India. A lot of people who deserve more based on merit get tier-3 opportunities and end up basically ****ed up and people who donât work even half as hard as you get more than you. See jobs in India or education in top institutes like IITs. Everything to cutoff for exams to rank needed for same course is different. The thing called brain-drain that is a hot topic these days, people say it is a wrong thing but it is the inner soul of the person saying that go and get what you deserve. This system doesnât give a **** about you and your merit so **** the system and people in it. Go get better and show them your worth by success. People who donât get their right due to sexism or reservation end up either in depression or abandoning the system the first chance they get by going abroad and settling with a better post, better paycheck and better quality of life. I say get best education possible and go abroad. People care for your talent and you in some countries. They acknowledge you and help you grow. The day you achieve something in a different country, people here will regret about what they do to you when you get a platform by your success and publicly criticize them.
Life doesnât end in one place bro. Google or some other MNC is not the end. They may discriminate you based on category or gender but even in India there are start-ups who need pure talent and recognize you. Join a start-up. Maybe you will get a lower pay check but work-life balance and post that you will get will be worth it. And keep trying for opportunities abroad. They wonât discriminate if you have talent. Life has not ended and if you have will, no one can stop you from being successful. A lot of people are successful but you hear story of only some and think they are exceptions. A lot of people are successful my man. Some achieve more than others but that doesnât matter if you are happy. But if you lose hope that you canât do anything then you wonât achieve anything. Stop giving a **** about this system and follow your passion. The right opportunity will find you. 
Thank you if you read till here. My opinion in a nutshell:
If the system tries to drag you down then fight back. We people have to fight for every little thing we deserve and wonât get anything without a fight. But if you keep going on, you will find success and the feeling of satisfaction that you will get then will be the best feeling you can get in this world. At last I give you some examples:
Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google(The company this post is about) is a Indian and is highly successful. People say he is a Indian who achieved greatness. But is he in India? no!! He did get his bachelorâs degree from IIT-Kgp but did he believe in Indian education enough to get it at Masters level? no!! He went to UPenn and Stanford in USA for MBA and MS respectively.
Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft, also a highly successful man and Indian, is he in India? no!!! he didnât even go to a IIT.
you know what is common between two most successful people on Earth who are Indian? They have American higher education, didnât give a **** about Indian system which didnât let them grow, went abroad to a place where their talent was recognized and grew. Donât wait for opportunity to come to you in India. Just go wherever your talent is recognized and grow in your field. It is true everyone has a talent and you just need to find it. And for those of you who think going abroad to study is too expensive to afford, go to a top US college. If you have talent, they will take responsibility for your education and support you as much as you need based on your family condition like what condition your family is in and how much they can actually afford to pay unlike IITs where they donât give a **** about your family condition and how much you can pay. Even if you have to take loan to complete study, they donât care and are increasing fees by a big deal very fast.
the world is not small and opportunities never end. Go find them my man!!!
if you read my complete answer then I highly appreciate it.

Yeah I agree with some of your point , Indian education system just based on reservation only from top to bottom , koi nhi rukna chahta yha , last week I saw web series on shakuntla devi ji , she was just outstanding , why she was not performing in india bcz they found that this is not the right place and why bcz of this shit system , hope in future something will better , as GOI also announce new NEP , so letâs see what happens .

The country we lived in suffered a lot due to colonization and was totally ruined when we got freedom but we rose up and became one of the most powerful in world. And our current PM is doing a great job in developing the country. No doubt about it. But it will take some time to reach a stage where everything is just and that will be too late for this generation. No matter what they say, they are not bringing justice. Discrimination existed earlier, it exists now also. Only the group being discriminated change.
There is no use of protest as you will be publicly criticized and that is not good for you. Go find a better opportunity somewhere else. Maybe the upcoming generations will find the country in a better shape. But for now the country isnât about merit but about bringing below average to above average as best people can find their way on their own. For the very few opportunities left for the best which are highly unproportionate, the merit needed is crazy which canât be achieved under pressure. Some people who are into politics are doing their best to improve the country. You go and improve world no matter where you do it from.
Also you can do higher education in research stream and go into research instead of being a slave to an MNC. Research is a more fruitful career and you get recognition for your good work and get to see brightest of minds instead of robot-like humans in MNCs
ya I am hopeful of the NEP but sadly I am just passing class 10 this year so I wonât really benefit from it and suffered in a shit system. People around me say I am intelligent and smart but they see it in the maths and science score but it is me who knows that I donât give a damn about those scores and want to learn practical things and be innovative.
Hopefully next generation gets a better education system so that the rats who controls who gets job and who stop discriminating and start seeing the practical skills of the person instead of ****ing gender.
And BTW this is the second discussion where I got a response for my answer and it didnât go un-replied. I guess only hot topics get you replies.

Bless you all, hardworking boys and hardworking girls. You are working so hard and have learnt so much even before you enter the industry - there was a time when Engineers were considered unemployable; today you are the finest talent to exit Indian colleges; that this country(India) has ever seen. I come from an older generation; and I am very proud of the talent thats coming out today.
My own second cousin who is a 4th year CS grad, from a tier II college, she is very pissed off by the quality of people being selected. She is a 1600ish CF player; but her friends who have difficulty doing the following tasks:
- Solve a basic knapsack problem
- Writing a simple binary search
- Canât write BFS to find distance between two vertices.
- Canât detect cycle in an undirected graph.
Did some crap web development projects; they are getting placed into the same companies as her. And she feels that NO ONE is takes her seriously, because she is a girl! Her batchmates and male cohorts who were excellent coders are unable to crack interviews! This is just bad. She is now wondering why should she work hard and upgrade her skills; if any girl can succeed and she wonât be taken seriously anyway.
Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice anywhere. First things first, Why is it okay to have a âgirls only hiringâ exam? There must be equality of opportunity not equality of outcome. No one, in India at least, actively dissuades women from joining the tech industry.
The reason why these MNC techie companies like âAdobeâ are hiring women only from Indian Campuses is that they are sexist to the core. My thinking - they want to fulfill their gender representation (mental) quotas from India - so that they can hire more White American Males in the US; since the compensation policies, sexual harassment at workplace law etc. are far stricter there. It has nothing to do with gender equality. This has everything to do with - if we have hire women, minorities etc. lets hire Indian women and fulfill double quota and be done with it. They want to fulfill quota only to look good.
In these harsh times, I am only very grateful that I have a great job. Good luck to all of you fighting it out there - both hardworking boys and hardworking girls. Wish we didnât allow our dogmas to color our life.
Let us support the fine men and women of this country by giving them access to resources and guidance; lets not make things chaotic with our myopic and short termist attitudes.

Google rejected (International Master coder + GSOCer) from IIIT Hyderabad who also reached till 3rd round of CodeJam
Bro, its not like, if you are International master/grandmaster, Google will directly give you offer letter. Interviews also depend on other factors, how you explain your code is one of the major factor. Like this guy must have written the correct code, but maybe could explain it properly. Moreover it also depends on you attitude, behaviour etc. Yes, Google did wrong, but it does not mean, you achieve a certain rating, you can directly get into Google
And they selected girls from his class who have no coding background/web-dev-projects/anything. Just see the irony.
