Yes, students can get a tech job with average marks.<\/strong> If you are in your final year of college and worried about placements, relax- you are not alone. Thousands of students in Jaipur and other Tier 2 cities feel the same stress every season. They keep checking their marks and wonder if those marks are enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The truth is clear. Good marks hardly matter in the tech industry today. Skills matter more than percentages on a mark sheet, and hiring data proves it. In early 2026, tech job openings slowed down, but that shift actually helped skilled candidates. Companies now hire more carefully, and careful hiring means they look at what a candidate can actually do instead of only checking degrees and percentages. Students with internships, real projects, and hands-on training often perform better in interviews than those with only strong academic scores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Big companies like TCS and Infosys still keep a basic cutoff, usually around 60 percent, just to filter huge numbers of applications. But once that filter is cleared, marks stop mattering. Product companies, startups, and mid\u2011sized tech firms often skip the marks filter completely. They judge candidates directly on coding tests, projects, and problem-solving ability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So grades only matter for a few doors, and most of the tech industry has other doors open. Tech jobs are no longer reserved for toppers. They are open to anyone who can show practical ability and confidence through projects, internships, or hands\u2011on work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Soft Skills That Matter as Much as Technical Skills<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Technical skills may open the door, but soft skills decide how far you go once you are inside. Recruiters notice these traits quickly during interviews, even before they check your code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
