Worried About Background Checks? What Happens If You Didn't Meet Education Requirements?

I got placed in an MNC, and their requirement is 60% in all levels of education. However, I did not achieve 60% in the 10th standard. Despite this, I received an offer letter. Will they conduct a background verification and terminate me? Please, it's very urgent. Kindly answer me.

Self-Reflection and Honesty

What do you think is the best in you, and what was in your favor that you got selected by your recruiter? Do you believe you got selected by them because you claimed that you have scored 60% or more, and if you did so, then why did you lie to them? Please share your educational qualifications and work experience. As you have been selected by them, you will certainly be asked to provide your documents such as your certificates and other qualification certificates at the time of joining, which can reveal the reality. What would you do then? Therefore, they don't need to go through a background verification as it is going to be clear automatically, but I feel there is something else which you want to know but still have not shared here.

About your question, hidden truths can bother you anytime, so you need to confess before it gets too late. Also, you need to know and understand why you have been selected by them. Consider my questions, and answer to yourself first.

Would that be a serious problem because I really don't want to miss that opportunity? Does percentage show our talent, especially in standard X?

Ensure there is a single line break between paragraphs.

If you have already mentioned the marks in your CV and they have overlooked or relaxed the criterion, then you cannot be sacked later on this ground. However, if you have suppressed this fact earlier or failed to mention it in your application form or CV and they find this out later through a background verification, then you will be sacked. I suggest that you bring this up (in writing) at the time of joining.

I suggest you simply inform them of the fact. There are bright chances that you'll not lose the opportunity. However, if you don't, there are chances that your future employer might find out, and you'll be enveloped with doubts. People underestimate the expanse of networking and try to get away with such instances. I recommend you not to do so. You might miss one opportunity but will save many forthcoming ones. All the best!

For the future, I would recommend you to register yourself on the National Skills Registry. It costs you a minor amount but is really helpful.

Did you not fill out the application form correctly? If you had already mentioned it and still they hired you, you absolutely have no reason to worry. Congratulations on the job!

Dear Sudhir, I totally agree with (Cite Contribution) and congratulate you on your new job. Unlike in the government sector, where the rules are extremely rigid, in the private sector, one has the liberty to relax the norms in the case of deserving candidates. I think in your case, there were other factors that made you more acceptable than just academic performance in school.

Warm regards.

Relevance of Academic Marks in Job Performance

Can anyone explain to me exactly what relevance marks from some exam done long ago in school have on one's ability to do a job? I am at a loss to understand this nonsense.

Recruitment and selection processes in India are a complete mystery to me. When I am hiring a person for a particular job, I want to know if he/she has the skills and ability to do that job. Of course, I would also want to know if the person would be a good fit for the culture. BUT THAT IS ALL.

What marks the person received in a school exam done umpteen years ago have no relevance to their ability to do the job.

Is there an assumption that if a person gets good marks, then they are great at work? If so, then I can shoot that theory down in flames in a matter of minutes. I have worked with people who had almost perfect university marks in their degrees. At work, they were totally useless, and we ended up having to fire them.

I guess this is why I see so many "MBAs" here on CiteHR being put into jobs they have no knowledge, experience, or skills to do. If you continue to hire people on this basis, then you are doomed to failure.
