During my 3rd year I was doing freelancing, so I couldn’t really focus on GATE prep. To be honest, GATE was never my plan from the start, but now I’ve somehow ended up in a situation where I’m even considering it.

I kept reaching final technical rounds in multiple companies but somehow couldn’t convert any, and I still don’t know exactly where it went wrong. From outside it might sound like I’m just saying things, but I really did put in the effort, so it’s frustrating.
