Hi All,
I am working in the leading IT company and I have 5 years of experience. However, my engineering degree was completed one year late due to backlogs. Will there be any issues if I switch jobs due to the extended degree?

Hello Sushma,
Some companies, especially MNCs and top Indian IT companies, have clear guidelines regarding the maximum number of attempts, which may exceed the actual duration required to clear the degree, while some don't have any such strict rules. It is advisable to check these aspects before applying for any new company or job.
All the best.

Hello Sushma,
I agree with the views expressed by Mr. TS. Since you are already in a job, the prospective employer would test your experience in most cases, rather than your academics (in companies where there is no restriction on the number of attempts that you had taken). However, in interviews, this topic may surface in the open discussion. It is good to tell the truth and a valid reason if you have one. So forget the past, prepare well, and concentrate on how best you can perform. As the years pass by, the relevance and proficiency of your expertise will count in your favor and nullify the mild stigma.
Good luck,

Actually, I have given the interview at the leading MNC company. During the technical interview, the interviewer didn't ask this question, but the question was asked by the HR interviewer. I have informed the HR, and they have released the offer. Will there be any issue after joining the company, as the person who conducted the interview is not aware of this fact, and I am going to work under him.

Hello Sushma,
You have given the interview, and the Technical Member didn't ask about the attempts. The HR interviewer has asked, and you have truthfully answered. The MNC has released the order also. This means their policy allows cases like yours. Perhaps HR had already intimated the Technical Committee member. Anyway, now it is their internal call, and you need not worry about it. Between you and the organization, you have revealed the fact. You have done your part. Join and do well. These minor worries will become a thing of the past.
Wish you all the best.

Dear Lebanon,
Bad news, chances are thin given the strict filter at HCL. However, Practice Managers at HCL might exercise discretion. Hence, if you match their criteria, that might still push your hiring as a lateral case with the business HR. Consider being referred by these Practice Managers.
Good news - with your experience, you are more likely to be hired for it than your degree. Request you to focus on companies and Hiring Managers that hire for experience rather than degrees. Hope that helps!
