True, I studied in a fairly reputed institution and the first company(famous IT services & consulting company) which comes to the placement hire in bulk, but the best among the lot get hired in 2-3 other companies and goes on to the one which pays the highest; So we were advised not to answer correctly for all questions in the placement test of this company as they filtered out over-performers.

But guess what? Recession struck(2008) and they selected ~10% of they usually do & that too at random. Only couple of other companies came for placements that year & only few of them respected their offers.

PSA: I assume this is going to repeat this year, so any student reading this shouldn't be choosy when it comes to placements, getting a job should be the utmost priority if you/family are dependent on it.

You can even skip that last part. The first job really is the hardest, so if you find something that's in a location you want and there's a internal or external path to a role you'd rather have, that job's a winner. There's also a lot of value in trying different things in the space, even if you think something isn't for you.
