Cisco ghosted me for 25 days after clearing all 3 interview rounds — is this normal?

I interviewed for the Technical Sales Apprenticeship role at Cisco. Cleared all 3 rounds, with the final round happening on June 10th. That's 22 days ago now.I asked the interviewer at ETR round for feedback afterward, and he mentioned that most candidates who make it to the final round usually do get an offer letter eventually. That gave me some hope, but the silence since then has been really hard to sit with.I've emailed HR but haven't gotten any response back.

For context: I'm from a tier-3 college 2025 grad and don't have a very strong technical skill set, I can do solve some easy med DSA questions n all but i lost hope from IT while trying out for an year.

so this offer would genuinely be one of the best packages I could realistically get right now. I know I'm probably relying on it too much, but it's hard not to when the alternative options being pushed on me (through placement consultants) are low-paying jobs (10-15k)

Has anyone else gone through a similar wait with Cisco ?Is a 3-4 week silence after final rounds normal for them, or should I start looking elsewhere seriously? Or anyway where i can contact them and ask??
