I joined engineering to learn a lot of things and build cool stuff with other classmates and lecturers. But the college,universty and all students were only focused on grades, literally no one wants to learn anything , they just memorize the information , write it in exam and forget by next semester. Lot of students werent even able to build a demo web application projects , they just borrow it from their seniors,buy it or anyway except building by themselves.

I somehow didnt like this process and was always opposed to the process, i didnt study last night for many exams , just wrote what i knew , i was able to pass most of the exams , but some failed too may be because i wasnt that good at that subject or the valuator needs answer as exactly as in his book. I went on to learn it all by myself , ignoring my grades , as it takes lot of time to maintain grades, and is way too less exciting than programming.

I m building an interesting project for my final year and have worked as freelancer to develop and implement few web and mobile applications.

Now, at the end of the college, they have the job , i have only have skills.

I even feel that if that kind of guys can get selected there, then i should not be there.

Well, considering I also did undergrad in India, there are three points I have for this

1. Yes the system sucks and is based only around grades and not around learning. No argument there.

2. However, I also find that a lot of people tend to ignore a lot of stuff that are covered by grades because it isn't exciting enough. Engineering can be dry at times, no way around it. Although that is usually because profs don't care (or know) enough to teach it properly, it's also because students don't want to learn it. I'm not trying to put you down, that's just how it is.

3. Good grades also mean that you can work well in a given system, which is useful for a lot of employers, especially those who hire en masse from colleges. Look at it from the employer's perspective - how are they going to choose from allll the people who graduate in engineering? I suspect many of the employers who took the people you're talking about aren't actually looking for skills, they're looking for people who will work, because they will have a training program to teach you the skills you need for work.

What you need to do is find the companies looking for your skills, which you usually won't find from college placements. Just go online, look for places, and apply. I'd suggest applying to as many as possible, if you have the skills you should hear back from some of them. All the best!

@RememberMe Yes, you are right, but the placement tests that is taken online could be given for all students and then anyway the system sorts it out.
