Can TCS Overlook an 8-Year Education Gap for a Skilled IT Professional? Seeking HR Insights

Query for HR Professionals Regarding Employment at TCS

This is for all the HR professionals in this forum. If a person has a degree from a private university and there is an 8-year gap between their 12th grade and degree completion, but they have solid 9 years of IT experience in a top MNC company, will they be given a chance to work for TCS if they perform well in the interview and justify the reason for the gap and what they were doing during that period? Or does TCS only consider full-time graduates?

Looking forward to your response, everyone. Thank you.

I don't know the policy of any Indian MNC in the IT or ITES field regarding recruitment. However, one thing I am sure of is that they insist on consistency both in the pursuit of studies and performance. This emphasis is due to the availability of a larger number of freshers in the employment market in India. Since you are in the U.S., there may be a possibility for relaxation of the rule if the company has a different policy by convention or according to the laws of the host country, earmarking a certain percentage of recruitment from among the locals. Once again, it will depend on the factors of demand and supply.
