'I am more than a number on marksheet': Techie scored 58% in 12th exams and companies keep rejecting her. She shares the reality behind missing the cut-off

Coder Vishakhaa shared on X that scoring 58% in Class 12, two points below many companies 60% cutoff, continues to affect her job opportunities. She lost her father during COVID, faced relocation and difficult travel during board exams, yet later improved her academics, built technical skills and worked on projects. After being rejected from campus recruitment without her resume being assessed, she said she deserves a chance to prove she is more than a marksheet number.
