I have been looking for slots for the past 15 days, and not even once I found any. Am I doing something wrong or that's how it is.

They come in bulk and go out in minutes. (Like one day in 2 weeks- depending on when they do)
Ad hoc ones are post cancellations and so are very rare.
Use the Check US Visa slots app for notifications whenever slots come up.

Exactly, when bulk ones come out you’ll face multiple issues like getting rate limited, wait time, etc.
Use multiple browsers, devices, incognito, non-incognit, and everything you can.
And pray.

Yes it is

Schools should ask for deposit after getting the slots 😅

You can also explore Visa agents, if you haven't already

Competition is cut throat and as working professionals ( aka majdoor) , it becomes difficult for us to be on top of the Visa process, which demands attention like a new born kid.

So, if you are not able to date the Visa process, then better get an agent ( Wingman ) to set you up ! 🌝🌚
I second this, difficult for FT employee to track and also access the portal without wait times:(

Risk of going with an agent!
Just beware of these kinda scams. Go via trusted sources.
