What Is a Placement Eligibility Checker? (PET)

A Placement Eligibility Checker helps you understand whether your academic and professional profile matches the qualification criteria set by companies for placement drives.

The eligibility criteria for each company may differ based on academic scores, qualification, branch, graduation year, backlogs, academic gaps, course mode, and other hiring conditions. Instead of checking every company separately, the Placement Preparation checker compares your profile against multiple placement eligibility criteria in one place.

How Does the Placement Eligibility Checker Work?

Placement eligibility is not always as simple as meeting one percentage or CGPA cutoff. Companies may set requirements for academic scores, qualification, branch, graduation year, backlogs, academic gaps, course mode, and other profile conditions.

For example, a company may require a minimum 60% aggregate, but the percentage equivalent of a CGPA can vary depending on the university or academic system. This is why checking only one score may not give an accurate picture of your eligibility.

The Placement Eligibility Checker evaluates the details you provide and compares them with the available company-specific criteria. It checks each applicable requirement separately and then classifies the result as:

• Qualified — your profile meets the available criteria.
• Not Qualified — one or more required criteria are not met.
• Needs Confirmation — the requirement depends on the hiring drive, role, or information that needs manual verification.

How to Improve Your Placement Chances

Different companies follow different campus placement criteria, so meeting one cutoff does not mean you will qualify for every placement drive.

• Maintain a strong academic score — many on campus placement eligibility criteria include minimum marks or CGPA requirements, so aim to stay above the qualifying cutoff.
• Clear active backlogs early — backlog rules are an important part of IT companies eligibility criteria and can affect whether you are allowed to participate in a hiring drive.
• Keep your academic profile consistent — IT company eligibility criteria may also consider academic gaps, course mode, qualification, branch, and graduation year.
• Check each company separately — the eligibility criteria for IT companies can vary by company, role, batch, and hiring programme, so do not assume every employer follows the same rules.
• Review off-campus requirements before applying — off campus placement criteria may differ from campus hiring rules and can include separate degree, skill, experience, or graduation-year requirements.
• Treat eligibility as the first screening stage — meeting the eligibility criteria for campus placement only allows you to move ahead in the process; you may still need to clear aptitude, coding, technical, and interview rounds.
• Do not rely on companies with flexible cutoffs alone — even IT companies with no eligibility criteria or strict academic cutoffs may still have role-specific qualification, skill, or experience requirements.
