Percentage matters during the placements and post graduate admission through GATE score.
Like many PSU's demand for at least 60% in B.tech along with the GATE score. But it is not the case with all the PSU's. Some Public sector Undertakings(PSU) have no criteria for b.tech percentage so if you have less percentage than 60% then you don't need to dishearten. There are always options.
