Do Class 12 marks matter for freshers to get placement in NITIE?

According to some of my friends studying at NITIE Mumbai, the 12th standard marks are very important and it matters a lot during admission for graduation and placements. Having good marks in the 10th and 12th standard helps a lot but it is not the end of the world. 

• Companies that visit the campus for placements have their own individual preferences. 
• Some companies give preference to 12th standard marks, but this is not the case with every other company. 
• Many companies give preference to college scores and recruit candidates based on their performance in personal interviews and group discussion rounds. 
• Some companies also look from which tier college you belong as they only want to interview candidates who have passed out from a tier 1 college. 

There are several other factors that are important for placements. Like extracurriculars, additional skills, etc. Thus your 12th standard mark isn't the last thing. A lot of other factors matter for your campus placement in NITIE.
