Hello,

With some little extra efforts and dedication you can definitely get 70 to 80% in B.tech CSE groups. Coming to the placements the first step would probably be selection of candidates based on their percentage. Many placements take the applications if the student has their desired percentage (usually starts with 50% without any backlogs). After this skills would be tested in further rounds and interview. So, the first needed criteria for majority of placements is percentage and then skills. A student with good percentage and no skills would be rejected and student with good skills and no percentage would not be eligible to apply. Hence having both of them, that is good percentage with skills is mandatory.

Hope this helps. Thank you.
