CDAC , placement , poor academic profile

i failed twice in class 12th , on the 3rd attempt i managed to pass with only 62% marks that too from MP board , so i have 2 years of gap (?) in my education , then i am currently in 8th semester of my BE from IT branch from a private engineering college in bhopal which isnt a very good college but it does provide ok kind of placements , but i am not yet placed , i was rejected from CSC for my 2 year special gap , my 1st technical interview in persistant systems was a disaster although i was a bit unlucky too , and for a lot of companies i was not eligible , especialy TCS which recruited 150 people from my college . My problem is i cant mak up my mind , should i give up all hopes of a good profile job (one that offer growth in future unlike PHP web developer etc) in IT sector and go for bank PO or should i stick with it because i have interest in this field and i am a OK kind of programmer and my technical knowledge isnt that bad compared to my other collegues (sp?) , now i need to know if at al it is possible that what eligibility criterias do companies that visit CDAC especially ACTS pune for DAC have .
