Startups don't want a security guy, they want a developer (security is a complementary skills for them) and freshers have very little chance in MNC. Also, there are less security focused company in India, so most of the guys either open their training classes, do workshops in colleges or join somewhere as instructor. If you want to join security team of Facebook or Google, you must go through the same interview process a developer face. You must have knowledge of C+, algorithms, couple of other programming language and of course security. Unless you are a top ninja hacker (who can hack iPhones, Android, Cars and IoTs) better start learning programming and algorithms.
