Good evening!

There are two announcements, please pay attention. If you have questions then use the #🔑ask-anyone channel on Discord.

Announcement One: Deadline Extension

Deadline for this round of submission has been extended till 20th December. Use this weekend to complete and polish your projects if you haven't done it till now. We got multiple requests to extend the deadline for this round. I think one weekend should be enough. We understand your pain but don't take it for granted, the deadline won't be extended any further after that. Sunday night is the last date.

Announcement Two: Admission Fees and Government Tax

We talked to our CA and it turns out that our product wouldn't get any tax exempt. As per Indian laws every admission would have to pay 18% GST. I can understand that this might come as an inconvenience to you and your financial plans. In total you have to pay the fee i.e. 20,000 INR + 18% Tax to GoI. Please plan accordingly. If this upsets your budget opt for EMI options as provided by your credit card. We have enabled EMI too from our side to make it easier.

Good morning @everyone

Some updates on INTERVIEWS.

1. Interviews are still going on. We have got much more applications than we initially anticipated. It's taking time. You'll get your piece of communication soon. Wait for it.

2. More importantly, people are getting rejected in interviews. So, let's talk about how to avoid it.

First 120 interviews went really well. We were rejecting 20pc. But after 120, the new batch has gone to 50pc rejection rate. We didn't make things difficult but one thing is clear, people who submitted late, they're not as sincere as the first 120. They have somehow completed the assignments and really really struggle when it comes to coding.

See, I can't help you if you don't help yourself first. There's no magic in levelOne. It's just a course. If you can't code simple programs now, then you need to take sometime and practice basics more. levelOne is not for you.

But if you're not someone who wants to give up, and your interviews are still pending here's a tip for you.

Practice by writing code, not reading code. I was shadowing few of the interviews and I can see that most folks from 120+ batch just can't code. They have idea of what to do but they haven't practised. Don't think that since you have done it once or twice you know it already. Nope. Practice more. I have shared the build repo above, see if you can write code without looking up every second.

You need to understand, we are not prepping you up for a delivery or a service job. Bhai this is dev job where you'll go and build startups of India. How will you do this without practice?

If you can't clear levelZero interview, there's no chance I can get you ready for real interviews in next 6 months. I too have limitations.

Summary: Don't fail in interviews please. Practice by coding and not reading code.

Even though I post something helpful on Twitter every day, this one is important to read.

A college student today faces a lot of options in her career building.

Even during semester breaks she needs to decide whether to go for an internship, or do a course, or do open source or prepare for the upcoming interviews?

There’s no straight answer to this. But

A framework and your personal evaluation can help you land with the right choice for YOU.

I’m going to explain this framework in detail tonight 8pm IST, live on my channel. It will be followed by a live QnA with subscribers.
