Understanding Placement Eligibility at IGDTUW: Percentage Requirements, Company-Specific Criteria, and General Guidelines

Applying for placements, especially with top-notch companies, at Indira Gandhi Delhi Technical University for Women (IGDTUW), involves meeting certain academic criteria. These criteria can vary significantly from company to company, making it essential to understand the specific requirements. In this article, we will explore the typical percentage requirements, company-specific criteria, and general guidelines that students should be aware of to increase their chances of securing valuable placement opportunities.

Minimum Percentage Requirement at IGDTUW

Typically, the minimum percentage required to sit for placements, particularly for top-notch companies, at IGDTUW is around 60% in the aggregate throughout the course. However, it is important to note that individual companies may have their own specific criteria, some of which may require higher percentages or additional qualifications such as relevant internships or projects.

For a better understanding of the placement process, it is always advisable to check the latest placement guidelines provided by the university or the placement cell. These requirements can change from year to year and vary based on the company's needs. For instance, companies like Microsoft, Adobe, and Amazon may have minimum criteria ranging from 60-70%, whereas companies such as Accenture, Infosys, Wipro, and TCS may have a slightly lower threshold around 60%. Additionally, keeping an eye on these guidelines ensures that students are well-prepared and informed about the specific expectations.

General Placement Requirements

The overall CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) plays a significant role in the placement process. To be considered for most companies, students should aim to maintain a minimum CGPA of around 70-75. This advice is based on the experience of many students who have been shortlisted just because of meeting the percentage criteria, even if they had the same skills or were sometimes even better. Staying on the safe side by aiming for a higher CGPA is often recommended to ensure better placement prospects.

Company-Specific Variations

While there are general requirements, it is crucial to note that different companies have their own specific criteria. The following table provides a general overview of the percentage criteria set by some of the top companies:

Company Minimum Percentage Additional Criteria Microsoft 60-70% None specific, but higher grades are preferred. Adobe 60-70% None specific, but higher grades are preferred. Amazon 60-70% None specific, but higher grades are preferred. Accenture 60% May have specific projects or internships required. Infosys 60% May have specific projects or internships required. Wipro 60% May have specific projects or internships required. TCS 60% May have specific projects or internships required. Top-Notched Companies Average 60-70% Varies widely and often includes additional requirements.

Furthermore, it is essential to consider dead and active backlogs, as some companies, such as those mentioned above, take these into account in their selection process. Dead backlogs are courses that were not completed on time, while active backlogs are courses that are still ongoing.

Conclusion

While the college does not set a specific percentage requirement, companies visiting the campus for placements often allow students above a certain percentage to sit for the tests, typically around 75 or above. However, it is always advisable to check the latest guidelines provided by the university or the placement cell to stay informed about any changes in requirements. Staying prepared with a competitive CGPA and being aware of company-specific criteria can significantly improve a student's chances of securing a placement at IGDTUW with top-notch companies.

Working hard and smart, while keeping an eye on placement guidelines, will ensure a student is well-prepared for the competitive placement process. If you have any specific questions or need further assistance, do not hesitate to reach out to the placement cell or your academic advisors at IGDTUW.
