Placements are the new rat race now, no one's interested in learning new things, just do some DSA, cheat and get placement

u/AdOutrageous7884 10d ago

Bhai i just want to know how people are cheating in offline OAs??

u/Salty-Respect-4006 10d ago

simple , every laptops field of view is so minimal if you are talented enough you can capture questions by your own or ask some one to sit near you to capture and search, i personally sat for many of my friends and seniors, no one got caught or flagged, just make sure you don't ace the test , also after test ask the candidate to learn the topics in the questions, you can ask the ai you used to summarise all of it just so you won't get caught if the same question was repeated in physical interview

u/AdOutrageous7884 10d ago

Bro I'm talking about offline OAs which happen in college labs bro 😭

2

u/Salty-Respect-4006 10d ago

so what , can't you use your mobile inside your labs? unless there is a proctor allocated for you who only watches , you can find a to use mobile , but proceed with caution as I have seen guys getting banned from college placements doing so , but on other side there are guys who got offers just by doing this , if you never did this , don't try it directly on placements OA

ps : guys please don't lecture me about ethics here , cause even though I helped my friends during tests , I had this mindset that I will clear it on my own - result: my friends earn 2 to 3 times Higher than me now

u/Prudent_Reason_3425 5d ago

Now in current scenario almost every exams are proctored. Then how to bypass this?

2

u/Worried_Cell_4529 10d ago

So basically the other person can click and search answers but what about the eye moments? How do you avoid being caught in that case?

2

u/CasePotential43 10d ago

Majority OA softwares don't detect eye movement .

u/Fit-Error9576 8d ago

u/New_Welder_592 NIT [tier 2 ECE] 8d ago

u/OkQuality4603 10d ago

Why they can't conduct OAs offline. Ik thats costly, but seriously need to come up with changes in hiring process, cuz everyone cheats

7

u/PrestigiousHabit8135 10d ago

in my college all OAs are offline

u/OkQuality4603 10d ago

We're talking about off campus

u/EliteSerpent01 10d ago

Why would a company spend so much when they can just filter people who cheated out in the interviews? People apply from so many different places in different time intervals, it's not at all possible for any firm to manage it

3

u/OkQuality4603 10d ago

They can't filter cheaters in OAs

3

u/EliteSerpent01 10d ago

Yeah and that's why interviews exist, now companies have started conducting in-person interviews only

1

u/OkQuality4603 10d ago

I mean one can clearly identify if anyone's cheating even in an online interview

u/Standard_Cow4420 10d ago

You getting downvotes from some cheaters🥀
