Percentage criteria is must for getting the job but also we have to check the reasoning of a perticular candidate

In country like India there are 100s of eligible candidates for any post. Literary population is so large but the employment opportunities are not commensurate with the figures employable candidates. A Filtering strategy is required to be adopted. Percentage criteria is one such filtering strategy. There is no guarantee that a well scored candidate can be a qualitative employable worker and at the same time there is a possibility that a person who failed to score well can be very good at execution of work. Pros and Cons of Random survey are applicable to percentage criteria in the selection process. So the students are working hard to get good scoring rather than gaining good knowledge of the subject. This is a cyclic effect. The system needs to be revamped.

i support ravali. Percentage reflect whether he is able to do hardwork.For fresher he need only this skill..Rest will come automatically through work experience.Indian companies policies is like that.Rest people (we) have to suffer little.But definitly all will be in good position if we work hard.Take as challenge

Yes, it is necessary in order to have better candidates. However,some times even a good candidate do not get high percent and such candidate suffer.

While interviewing a candidate in half an hour it is impossible to get proper judgement of candidate's abilities ans limitations. So instead of searching talent from low scored candidate, candidates with good percentage should get preference. Probability of getting good candidate from low scored candidates is less as compare to probability of getting good candidate from good scored candidates.

Yes it is important, for everything we need to have some base rule. Considering percentage is one way to filter candidates and since there is some rule students atleast try to study in their academics and maintain a average of 60%. If he is not able to perform in his academics he would not perform in his work....   Â

DURING A CAMPUS PLACEMENT COMPANIES ALWAYS LIMIT SOME CRITERIA THESE DAYS 60% FOR INSTANCE DOES IT MEAN PEOPLE BELOW 60% PEOPLE ARE NOT INCAPABALE OF ATTENDING INTERVIEWS? THOUGH ACADEMICS ARE IMPORTANT IT HAS TO BE JUST PART OF THE PLACEMENT SYSTEM NOT THE HEART OF PLACEMENT SYSTEM.ALL THE STUDENTS HAVE TO BE PROVIDED EQUAL OPPURTUNITIES TO DO WELL. STUDENTS MAY HAVE A LOW PERCENTAGE BUT GOOD KNOWLEDGE ON WHAT BASIS ARE THEY EVALUATED???IS IT FAIR TO DISCRIMINATE OR EVALUATE STUDENTS(FRESHERS) ON THIS BASIS??

More than knowledge, the output from education should be common sense and reasoning. Logic is more important than knowledge. Education should finally enable us to come up with the best solution based on each situation. If a person can do that, percentage would least retard his career. Regards, EDU AHEAD.

On a whole Qualification is meant for the entry/eligibility for the placement but There is Something called "Personality & Skill" which is highly required in the corporate world. The same would be preferred to maintain the position in a company.

I THINK THAT IN OUR SYSTEM, IT MUST TO GIVE SAME CHANCES TO ALL STUDENTS WHO HAVE LESS % OR WHO HAVE HIGH % ...... COZ SKILLS CANT BE ACHIVE BY PERCENTAGE.... MAX. OF LOW % STUDENTS HAVE EXCELLENT SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE... IT MAY BE POSSIBLE THEY ARE MORE INTERESTED IN PRACTICALS EXPECT THEORIES AND TEXTBOOKS ... "PRACTICAL KNOWLEDGE WILL NOT COME THROUGH THEORIES, BUT THEORY CONCEPT COME FROM PRACTICALS"

I completely agree to Mr.Suraj. Knowledge cannot be judged through certificates and percentages. And can any employer make me understand that how a candidate's 10'th and 12'th result are going to state how that person will perform in the industry. As in my case how can some employer say that I can code or not? I am a college student and I find myself technically better than many of my frnds who have scored highly in their 10'th and 12'th exams but they are allowed to sit for interviews and I am not.

Percentage can be achieved in many ways in today's context. Hard work is not necessary these days, what necessary is the ability to bribe and your negotiation skills in getting perfect platform for scoring your desired percentage. Days are gone when students used to read and understand or mug up those texts. Now it's pay the amount and sleep sound.

If he is not able to perform in his academics he would not perform in his work...
how can u say this..? scoring in the academics is mere by byhearting and mugging... genius are too lazy to do that. but it is impossible to perform at work just by mere mugging.. it needs hard work , dedication and more importantly talent to grow in life .. its just a matter of time.. as fresher one may need to have good academics to get a job.. but to survive and grow u need talent and smartness.. there are many brilliant successfull people in the world who has less academics(some didnt even study).. for ex:bill gates(got his degree at the age of 40) but still rules the IT industry ,people who are university toppers work under him..

It has always been experienced that academic knowledge given in India is of no use at the job because the syllabus and work profile is unrelated.That's why i feel candidates should never be judged on their academics,atleast they should be given a chance to interact

I think percentage criteria always not work.. It is seen that one who have good percentage in his/her academic is not confident but another one who don't have good percentage is very confident.. So sometimes companies looking for this types of people who have confidence for doing any work..

The word Mandatory from dictionary means must, So is a job is mandatory of interview? Is a job is mandatory of entrance test? Or a job is mandatory of entrance test and interview?

NO IT IS NOT MANDATORY Because their are lots of candidates who are not able to get good marks due to many valid reasons but they have hidden potential to excel on the field practically, just waiting for the opportunity to show their capability and growth.

percentage is just a platform that the individual is seriuos about his/her business and expected to deliver by understanding in same fashion the work sought for. but in the long run deliverance with marks or no marks counts.  further there many who excel in one/two subject but are failure in education and they paranoid about their subject who are great driver for their company in technology. many of the successful entrepreneurs are not great in percentage terms but deliver the balance sheets.

mr suresh prasad gupta marks doesnt decide a better candidate...a student who is not able to score good marks can be a better candidate....practical fields doesnt want better student..they want better performer...at last its depend upon you to select so why not trying with all of them...afterall you want to make profit and which you can get by performance...

Percentages may not qualify as an acceptable criteria because they are testimony to ones HARD SKILLS. Going by todays industry standards we cannot rule out the SOFT SKILLS component either. I would vouch for a balanced mixture of both that would essentially make one's LIFE SKILLS.

Often it is found that those who are very dedicated and quality talent, had scored very less as compared to others but their efficiency remains unexplored by many. I strongly oppose this idea as there is a huge gap between the marks were scored and when placements are going on and there are all possibilities that the person might have regained what he should have within making him worthy of the opportunities. Moreover, percentage score is only one dimension of measuring one's abilities and strengths, I can say, it is just like looking at the world with only one eye and without using any other sense organ working.

No. It should not be mandatory for campus placements. As some of candidates may got lesser % but their basic knowledge & concepts are very clear & they also know how to implement it which may lack in top scorer. & % does not show the capability of the candidate because theoretical knowledge is useful only up to certain limit . It's really a joke which is happening in every MBA institute. Every year there are thousands of students passed their MBA exam & they become good leader by application of their knowledge & skill, but the faculty remain in the institute only & teaching different students every year. But how many of these faculty have experience of running the company/management ? Who are really masters in their subject but ? in mgmt! So companies should give 50- 50% to percentage & practical skill.

Percentage does not reflect once knowledge. I have seen some students scored distinctions in graduation. There papers are just like copy of textbook. If yo ask them anything differently or which is not in the textbook they say it is not given in book. What's the use of percentage ? There are few who score 40% - 50% in exams but still in few subjects they may have good knowledge and able to answer any related questions (from books or other than books).
