You're not underqualified. You're applying to a system that was built to filter you out before it looks at you.
"Looking for freshers with 3 years of experience." This isn't a joke — it's the actual hiring standard. Companies want people who already know what they're doing, at fresher-level salaries. It's harsh. It's illogical. And it's not going away. It's becoming the norm.
Your degree can't fix this. Your CGPA can't fix this. What every company is actually asking is a single question: have you solved a real problem before? For 25 years, freshers had no way to answer yes. Now you do.
Every edtech company trains students and hands out capstone projects. Build a to-do app. Build a movie recommender. Build a food delivery clone. These projects are the same for every student because they were designed for a generic curriculum — not for a real company facing a real problem.
Recruiters have seen 10,000 to-do apps. They know what a generic capstone looks like. It signals nothing. The only thing that signals capability is a project you built for a specific company, on a specific problem, with a specific outcome. That's what Devuty produces.
Hire-a-thons are one of the few places you can actually prove yourself. But most hire-a-thons aren't company-specific, don't lead to real hiring conversations, and only the biggest companies can afford to run them because of the cost, time, and logistics.
Devuty changes both sides of this. Every company of any size can run a hire-a-thon online — a 10-person startup, a Series A company, a founder with a laptop. And every student can enter, get scored, and get evaluated. A ranked, AI-scored submission tied to a real company.
Until now, applying meant filling a new form for every company. Hours per application. Repeat details you've already given. Attach the same PDF. Get ignored.
Devuty is building a universal skill passport. One profile. Real projects with real company names. Real AI-evaluated scores. Real certificates signed by the companies you worked for. You don't apply — companies come to you.
Nobody is going to hand you your first job. Not us. Not a course. Not a placement drive. Not your college.
But you no longer need anyone to hand it to you. Build real work for a real company. Get scored. Get ranked. Build your skill passport. Every company that runs a hire-a-thon on Devuty will see it. You stop applying. They start coming.
