Placement Eligibility Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum CGPA required for campus placement in India?
Most mass-recruiting IT companies (like TCS, Infosys, Wipro, CTS) set a strict cutoff of 60% or 6.0-6.5 CGPA throughout your academic career (10th, 12th, and Degree). Use our calculator above to check your exact eligibility across different tiers.
Can I get placement with active backlogs?
It depends heavily on the company tier. Top product-based companies usually allow ZERO active backlogs at the time of the interview. Mass recruiters sometimes allow 1 active backlog during the interview, provided it is fully cleared before joining.
Is 7.5 CGPA good for placements?
Yes, a 7.5 CGPA is generally considered a very safe score. It easily clears the basic cutoff for over 90% of service-based and core engineering companies visiting Indian campuses.
Does 12th marks matter in campus placement?
Yes, your 10th and 12th standard marks act as primary filters. A consistent 60% (or sometimes 70%) across 10th, 12th, and your B.Tech/Degree is a standard requirement for major Indian MNCs.
What happens if I have an education gap?
A gap of up to 1 year between 12th and graduation (usually for entrance exam prep) is acceptable for most IT companies. However, gaps during your degree or gaps of more than 2 years are often flagged and require valid justification during the HR round.
