I received a job offer from a reputed IT company after my MBA. During the background verification application, there was a part to declare any pending or closed criminal civil cases or charges. Since there was no such criminal or civil case against me I gave it as No.

BCG HR emailed me that they were able to find one court case in my name. And only at that point of time when they shared the case link I remembered that it was a traffic rule violation that happened in 2015 and I was charged with IPC 279. I was not at all aware of it since my parents talked with the police and paid the fine for the same.

Will I get the job or will it be rejected?

The question now is not the nature of the offence (rash & negligent driving) but the wilful suppression of facts related to a criminal case. The nature of the offence is not serious enough to debar employment. The explanation that you had forgotten about it and remembered only when this was pointed out is not a credible explanation. It would depend on the reputed IT company on whether they are ready to overlook this factor.
