They filter people because these "filtering" jobs are done by the dumb HR guys who have absolutely no idea on how to judge talent or skill and do a lazy task of filtering in that way claiming "consistency" in education or other such crap.
Some companies even ask for 70% above in graduation, and that's really retarded IMO (anyone who has done/doing Engineering knows how difficult it is to score marks and how it is more dependent on attendance/rote ability/closeness to teachers than knowledge or intelligence).
Well said. Even when Infosys came to our city, the percentage to attend the funeral(thats what we call interviews as.) was whooped to 70% from 60%. B'coz the number of applicants is around some ~800 and they want to filter them and after announcing this, number of candidates become 250
!!! Yep, even i left as my percentage was 68 at that time.
I feel dumb and thought, if this is the case, then why the heck they announce as 60% in first place.
There are always some exceptions.
Ofcourse, but what i want to emphasize is getting more marks doesn't mean he is good at everything. The companies must consider everyone and review them for their skills.
