- Does TCS accept 6.0 CGPA as equivalent to 60% for NQT?
- Yes — on a 10-point scale TCS treats 6.0 CGPA as 60%, provided your university uses that equivalence. If your university publishes its own conversion formula, TCS applies that; when none exists, the standard 9.5 multiplier is used.
- I had backlogs earlier but cleared them all. Am I eligible for TCS NQT?
- Yes. TCS's restriction is on ACTIVE (standing) backlogs at the time of joining. Cleared historical backlogs — even multiple — do not disqualify you, as long as your final marksheet and degree certificate show every subject cleared.
- Is a 2023 pass-out eligible for TCS NQT 2026?
- Generally no — most 2026 drives restrict eligibility to 2024, 2025 and 2026 batches. Special off-campus drives occasionally open the window wider, but do not plan around an exception; apply to other companies in parallel.
- My percentage is 59.8%. Will rounding save me?
- No. The documented cutoffs are applied as printed on your marksheet — automated filters do not round 59.8% up to 60%. Only your own university's consolidated-marksheet rounding (if it officially prints 60%) counts.
- Are Infosys and Wipro eligibility rules the same as TCS?
- No — and this catches people every season. Infosys raised its bar to 65% across 10th, 12th and graduation from the 2024 batch onward, while TCS, Wipro Elite NTH and Accenture stay at 60%/6.0 CGPA. Wipro and Accenture also document tighter 1-year gap ceilings versus TCS's 2 years. The checker applies each company's own documented rules.
