Companies Hiring Candidates with < 60% in Graduation In 2023
Most of the software, IT and manufacturing companies require candidates to score a minimum of 60% throughout their undergraduate course.
However, following are few of the top companies that hire candidates with less than 60% in their graduation-
Dunzo: Startup in the hyper-local delivery space.
SBI: This popular Indian bank does not have minimum 60% requirement
Toplyne: A Behavioral Artificial Intelligence Company
TCS BPS: Not ideal for engineers; but in case you want a career in BPS
Apple: Surprising, right? They don’t even look at your college.
Google: They stopped looking at degrees and prefer your skills.
RIGI: Startup in Community Monetisation space.
Zepto: Hyperlocal delivery startup.
Toddle: An EdTech Startup that you can apply to
Reliance: Jio division of Reliance does not require 60% throughout graduation
Maruti Suzuki: India’s leading automaker
Tata Motors: They accept candidates with 55% (needs verification)
Hyundai: Another big car maker in India that you can apply to
Rakuten: Leading startup in the e-commerce space
Ernst and Young (E&Y): Leading IT Services company
Mphasis: I think they recently removed 60% criteria
3i Infotech Ltd: Another leading IT Services company
BirlaSoft: IT company backed by large conglomerate
Edureka: An EdTech company that’s very well
NVIDIA Corporation: Difficult to crack; but doesn’t have eligibility criteria
Amazon: Recently eliminated the academic criteria
I might have missed one or two; but that’s a very solid list of companies you can apply to without worrying about your academic performance.
I spoke to training and placement officer of a leading engineering college in my region (central India) and he told me that most of the companies have relaxed the recruitment criteria to 50%-55% in most of the cases.
Why?
Two reasons-
Those with good academic performance either switch jobs or opt for higher studies like GMAT and GRE
Those with lesser academic performance (<60%) stay longer in their jobs; which helps the HRs maintain a good talent-pool within the corporation.
I’ll keep updating the list of companies every month. Plus, we are starting a dedicated jobs section for our members for quick apply to amazing remote and on-site job opportunities. Stay tuned!
Update: More Companies Hiring Candidates with Less Than 60%
An updated list of companies that do not have set 60% minimum eligibility criteria for recruitment.
3i Infotech Limited: Mumbai-based IT company. Good for freshers
Mphasis: A leading MNC, good projects to start your career
Capgemini: I need to confirm this. But they have changed their criteria recently.
MRR Soft: A Nagpur based software company. Try your luck here
KPIT: Pune Headquartered company. Known for high-quality software projects
What to do if you have less than 60% in graduation?
Note that for most of the top MNCs, the 60% eligibility criteria applies only at the time of fresh-graduate recruitment. If you gain some experience and then apply to these companies; you can get selected.
Do not lose heart. There are several startup IT companies that you can apply to. Gain some experience for about 2 years, learn new tech and then apply for a bigger MNC.
Another workaround is to opt for post-graduation and then score very well in the PG exams. Most of the times, the recruiters will only look at your PG performance and make a job offer.
