They had this clause where they wanted all over first class in engineering in all semesters and relevant academic(s). If ones satisfies this criteria they will offer their blessing by touching your resume to begin with. What some of the corporates fail to understand is every state has a unique board when it comes to professional courses and it aint apple to apple comparison most of the times and till date it holds true. Age old fallacy
And then there are companies which purely screen candidates based on their abilities and skill-sets and offer opportunities for them to scale up, evolve and prove themselves. I have worked with so many engineers who are whiz in their art and it does not show up in their academics but boy-o-boy most of these engineers are well respected and being hunted by the product firms.
And then we have the handful few gifted in all fronts = academics + skills
I am staunch believer in giving opportunities to people. Academics should not be the only reason to reject or neglect someone

Pardon my typos and grammatical errors
Dear Silentshadow,
I think you maybe fro Engineering background just wild guess...
When I was HOD with MNC company the new criteria was added to take freshers as GET , 50 % ladies must be there .
The new concept of gender equality has taken roots.
Now MG motor factory in Gujarat is having 100 % ladies.
This has its own advantages and disadvantages. I have faced this in very hard way.
Whenever workloads is not sufficient there is concept of bench.
If any lady goes on bench it becomes HOD'S responsibility to adjustment with other verticals . In my personal experience Ladies employee are not preferred option
for other vertical even if HOD is ladies...
If try to adjust them on site deputation they simply refuse in many cases.
It's really sad...
Has anyone have heard employed girls says ok to unemployed boy ...
But vice-versa I have seen they are saying yes.
This are practical issues atleast in our country.
I have been worked in many devloped countries this is lesser issue.
It's out of context discussion but I put my own experience.
Hopefully everyone takes in right spirit....
