This is very demotivating, imagine grinding for years, stacking ur resume, only to see dumb fcks get shortlisted.

I am in 3rd year, good no of companies have come to our college for interns for now, one company just picked 2 girls who are some of worst candidates in that round,

The girl after interview was joking that, Interviewer was doing ass licking, i also did the same lol. they did not even take proper interviews for candidates at end of list giving only 7min, whereas those girls gave interviews for approx 42 mins.

then another company is so dumb, they made us give OA in a website on a browser, one can simply switch tabs and copy. and trust me, this is a pretty good company in bengaluru, so ppl who just went off the exam hall and gave exams all got shortlisted.

I'm relatively new to Bangalore, hustling in my 9-5 corporate, and one fine day, I heard my teammate randomly call my boss "Bro" followed by "The client is a real SHAATA guy"(It took me a while to know what "Shaata" actually meant, found it really hilarious for the context tho XD.)

I happen to love how everyone is just a "Bro" and the term itself seems to be so gender fluid.

Today morning I received a mail that I have been selected for an internship in their company. They are asking me to pay around ₹1500 for a month of internship, stipend will be provided at the end of programme. I am skeptical because I don't remember I've applied for any internship in their portal. If someone knows is this a legit company, will it be really helpful for me or it's just a way to trick me. Help meee guyssss!!!!!!

Hi guys. My sister took her DL test at Kasturinagar RTO KA 03 today[Gear bike & Car]. How long does it take for the license to be generated and made available for download online via DigiLocker? Also, she took the test via an agent.

I want to warn job seekers about a suspicious interview/placement center located in Marathahalli, above the Airtel office.

Here's how it works:

You receive a call for an interview or job opportunity.

When you arrive, there's usually a person on the ground floor who guides candidates to the correct floor.

He asks whether it's your first time visiting. If you say yes, you're allowed to proceed.

If you say you've been there before, he may call the office and tell you to come back another day.

The people involved are typically dressed in formal attire, which makes the setup look professional and legitimate.

Once inside, candidates are told they need to pay money and are promised help in passing an exam or assessment that will supposedly help them secure a job with a company.

After paying and writing the exam, many candidates never receive their results, and there is little to no follow-up regarding the promised job opportunity.

Please be cautious if you are invited to interviews at such centers. Legitimate employers generally do not ask candidates to pay money to pass recruitment exams or secure jobs.

If anyone else has had a similar experience at this location, please share your experience so others can avoid being misled.

The below is the report verbatim,

I have read the whole thing.

For TLDR- it is at the bottom

TLDR-

• UNESCO warned India about increasing tourism and infrastructure pressure at Group of Monuments at Hampi.
• India submitted a long-delayed management plan, but UNESCO wants faster action and updates.
• Concerns include ropeways, road widening, township development, and construction near heritage zones.
• UNESCO asked for proper heritage impact assessments before major projects proceed.
• India must submit another conservation status report by February 2026.
