What organizations want , Higher Percentage or Skills?

of course skills once you are into the organization...however employers do look for the percentage as the initial criteria...

persantege is initial time important but skill is always spport

Thanks for your views prasun. Percentages can be earned through continuous studying, but skills have to heard learnt. Then why aren't companies coming forward to provide that! they sit and blame we are not getting quality students! 

Your take on this... Please

every organization want skill not a percentage 

i agree wit u on this but will this hold good always given the present evaluation system??really? As a sales professional, i must say its all skill base coz nobody in the industry are doing what they learnt out of their education but its purely on the basis of what they have learnt in their profession. Eg. an engineer and MBA working in bank from 3 idiots. Such cases are available in plenty.

Ultimately Its excellence in ur own field is wats going to matter whether its learnt/ acquired from education/job

i happened to come across a top HR official from a reputed MNC from testing domain, who opined that ofcourse skills are most important but they opt for % only to eliminate ppl at initial stages os recruitment given the staggering number of aspirants. This however holds good for Engg/MCA background in IT domain, but for management what matters is purely skills.

Any views on this pls post them

Organisations deals with internal People and external bodies like governement, vendors, customers etc

Hence by becoming merely Bookish worms is not enough, you need to possess skills to interact in the organisation, have clear understanding of Organisation's vision, and skill to inculcate the vision into you

For Organisations , SKILLS are always important than percentage

I have come across many fresher who complain about the organizations' inclination for high percentage students at entry levels. The highly skilled capable talents are rejected for not maintaining "The Aggregate"(today everyone are getting best %ages) which inturn pressurizes students to score well. I must say some of the leading organizations are loosing out best of the talents.

Is there any alternative selection methods? should employers think in this direction?
