        Hi everyone, I’m a student from a Tier-3 college. On 26th April, I had a career-defining Infosys recruitment exam (Package: 21 LPA).

        ​During the exam, Jio had a total network blackout for 3 hours in my area (Wagholi, Pune). It wasn’t an accident; it was planned maintenance, but they sent ZERO prior notification. If they had sent a simple SMS, I would have moved to another location.

        ​What happened next:

        ​I called support 40+ times. I was stuck in an “AI Loop.”

        ​Advisors mocked my education and refused to connect me to seniors.

        ​I suffered severe mental stress and even got a fever (visited a counselor).

        ​The Big Win: Today (5th May), after constant follow-ups, a Senior Official from Jio (Appellate team) sent an email admitting that the network was down for 3 hours and apologized for the “unpleasant experience” with their staff. However, they flatly refused any compensation.

        ​It’s been 10 days now, and I am in total despair. I don’t even know if Infosys will agree to re-conduct the exam after this delay. My entire future is at stake.

        ​My Plan:

        I am filing a case in the Pune Consumer Forum. My demands:

        ​Jio must coordinate with Infosys for a re-exam.

        ​Or, Jio should offer me a job in their org at a similar package.

        ​Or, ₹10 Lakhs compensation for permanent career loss and mental agony.

        ​Questions for Reddit:

        ​Is ₹10 Lakhs a fair claim for a 21 LPA career loss? A friend says I should ask for less, but this is my future.

        ​Since they admitted the failure on email, how strong is my case?

        ​Has anyone dealt with Jio’s “AI Loop” or negligence in court before?

        ​Please help, I’m fighting this alone and it’s mentally exhausting.
