How to be in TOP 25% with average profile? (Answered)

So i've seen people asking this question after seeing the advertisements like "Avg CTC: 15LPA, Top 25% CTC: 25LPA". Let's debunk this.

So you cannot be in the top 25% with a strong or weak profile. Suppose a batch has 10 students, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J. The average package is suppose 20lpa, with CTCs in Arithmetic progression, from 4lpa to 40lpa. Then the top 20% (top 2 students) will have an average of 38lpa. It's mere luck that they got into that company with 36/40 lpa ctc. It can be either A and B, C and D, B and C. Even they don't know themself. It's just the average of the top 2 companies. Not the top 2 hardworking students. No one can determine if your skills/profile/hardwork could take you there. I'm from a tier 1 engineering college (Top NIT) and the highest placement guy of my branch had a really low CGPA. The topper of my class didn't even get placed. The 9+ CGPA holders had a lesser CTC than me, and people even with lesser CGPA than me had a higher CTC. You never know you're in the top 20% or not. That's something your luck will decide.

I might get heavily downvoted for this but that's fine. Any doubts welcomed in the comments. Spread love!
