Sir/Mam,

I have scored 67% in 10th n in scored 58% in 12 in B.Tech from IT 67% am I eligible for company like cognizant off campus drives??? Can someone provide me the right information soon as possible? If am not eligible which company I can try for getting the job?

No, you are not eligible to apply for cognizant off-campus interview because you must not have secured 60% in 12th std. So, you are not eligible to apply for cognizant off-campus interview. Basic Educational Qualification to apply for CTS is that candidate must have obtained 60% marks in aggregate in B.E / B.Tech / M.E / M.Tech from a recognized university or equivalent qualification. The candidate must have secured at least 60% marks in aggregate in 10th and 12th level. Even diploma candidates may also apply. No standing backlogs at the time of interview.

Selection Process: Aptitude Test, Technical Interview and Personal Interview.

Without securing 60% marks in throughout the career, then it is difficult to get campus placements because the majority of companies asking 60% marks in 10th, 12th and graduation. Top companies are asking 70% marks in 10th, 12th and graduation. So, you have less number of opportunities on the campus and off-campus.

I am extremely sorry to state that you are not eligible for Cognizant Off-campus placement drive. This is because Cognizant has fixed the following eligibility criteria for their off-campus recruitment drive to recruit b.tech freshers.

- A student needs to have at least 60% in his/her entire career which means at least 60% in 10th, 12th and B.Tech.

Since you do not have 60% in your 12th, so you are not eligible for Cognizant Off-Campus drive. You can try for other companies like Energon, Mu-Sigma, Gyansis, Cavisson, XL Dynamics, start-ups etc. who have less than 60% as their eligibility criteria.

As per marks criteria, you are not eligible for Cognizant recruitment.

Cognizant is a reputed multinational company.

Required percentage of marks throughout the studies for Cognizant is,

Cognizant= 60%

Candidates having more than two years gap throughout the studies are not eligible for Cognizant recruitment.

Selection round for Cognizant recruitment:-

1)Aptitude test
2)Technical test

Can diploma covers 12th percentage,
I had 55% in 12th and in deploma 72 percent,
So can cognizant consider 12th percent as OR for diploma?????
