ANU Jun 23(4 days ago) i asked u this

ANU Jun 18(2 days ago) Hey hello... i was placed last year .i received my BCG/CID form on 9th of this month. Waiting for date of joining. My 8th sem results r not yet declared. When i was placed my engineering aggr was 58%. The tcs people at that time told me that my aggregate should b 60% at the time of joining. It was also mentioned in their offer letter. But now i quite sure that my aggre won't reach 60%. it will b around 58% only. So is there any chance that they will take me???

Answer :Tough question ! dont declarer urself that u dont have the aggr to meet their requirement.just go and attend ilp.dnt disclose it urself if not asked for at any cost..try ur luck..cant say more..at the same time dont hide it also if asked for..

Ur Answer : WHICH STATE ARE U FRM ??

i m from mumbai university.

Answer :I think TCS will consider less than 60% but u must not have backlogs.again try ur luck.try sending ur frnd to HR and ask him/her abt it not taking ur name !
