I have been rejected many times by FAANG companies whenever I applied for internships since the past 1 year. I am unable to detect the fault in my resume. My friends say my resume stands out to be the strongest. I have been learning new technologies like using Red hat developer studio to develop fuse integration projects or using Quarkus and even working at open source organizations like CNCF and chromium repository. My friends who just sit with LC got into good companies. I am now getting depressed day by day. What to do ?

"My friends who just sit with LC got into good companies." You have your answer.
Even i have been doing LC but still should I not stand a chance to get shortlisted for coding round. With just a few projects they are getting shortlisted while I have those all besides good internship experiences.
No one cares about the resume for interns or new grads. School matters and coding performance (LC) matters. That’s it.

It's not about how many buzzwords you throw in, its about how you use those buzzwords. So you used Quarkus but did you just do the getting started tutorial or make something of value? You need to think like that.
I made an application with that and participated in a hackathon.
Honestly, that still literally tells me nothing about how you used it and to what extent. Understanding how to properly communicate this was the key to getting my resume picked up even without recommendations.
1 page is crucial for new grads. People dont want to hear about every commit, just the highlights
Get good.
It's because of your English. Work on that first. Then switch to LC. Who gives a rat's ars about Red hat studio?
When your friends say you have the strongest resume, they are just being nice to you! Don't lose them.
Just do LC. You are doing more than expected. Expectation at your level is minimal and you are focusing on what the industry doesn't need at the moment. Demand and supply. Give them what they need.
TC or gtfo. Also LC, no one gives a shit about those technologies. Harsh truth but you need to hear it if you want to shoot higher.
