I think if companies have a strict policy for first attempt people, its totally their loss.
Also, I believe its quite important to clear in three attempts coz (barring some extraordinary event such as death of family member or illness) usually 4 or more attempts is a bit too much to ignore if you are talking about quality of the candidate.
