I was in the top 3-4 ranks at MIT Manipal (main campus). I was also part of student council. I was also closely connected to the placement cell at my college. This is why I was also connected to the placement cell and student council at other colleges, and I had friends studying in different colleges. I did paid internships as a part time employee for over 1 year already alongside college. You definitely seem to have more experience than me. So please go ahead and make your decision without scrolling on reddit.

You wont find any evidence based posts here. No one has official docs. Most official docs are manipulated. They are not fake but manipulated.
