Backlog and CGPA eligibility for TCS NQT and placements

For TCS NQT (2024–2026 batches), the company’s own page says no pending backlog at the time of the test and at least 60% (or the equivalent CGPA) in Class 10, 12 and graduation. TCS’s NQT FAQ converts CGPA by multiplying by 10, so on that rule a 6.5 CGPA counts as 65% and meets the 60% line; a pending backlog, even one, does not meet TCS’s rule. Other companies differ, and some use your university’s own conversion — check their page for your batch.

CGPA 6.5 hai kya Accenture ke liye eligible hu?

It depends on the job listing. Accenture’s campus portal says eligibility depends on each listing and is sent by email to those eligible. Many Accenture mass-recruiter listings ask for 60% or its CGPA equivalent. If the listing converts CGPA × 10, 6.5 is 65% and meets a 60% line; if it uses your university’s formula, check your conversion certificate — (CGPA − 0.75) × 10, for example, gives 57.5%, below 60%. A 65% line depends on the listing’s wording. Check that listing before you count on it.

1 backlog hai kya TCS NQT de sakta hu pls batao sir

For the 2024–2026 NQT batches, TCS’s page says no pending backlog when you take the test and that the course must have finished in its normal duration. That means a backlog you have already cleared and that shows as passed on your marksheet is not a pending backlog; a backlog still pending at test time is not allowed. A gap in education of at most 24 months is allowed and must be declared.
