Why should marks be a criterion for selection?

Question

Hi Time has again and again proved that judging a person on marks scored is not right.. Why should filtering be only based on marks.. Should companies change their old methods of hiring and concentrate more on interest of candidate and knowledge

Riddhi Valecha · Answer

Hi... Agreed !! One should not be judged on basis on marks at all. Everybody have some knowledge or the other and yes I do agree that companies should change their methods of hiring. Instead of marks they should concentrate more on candidate's interest and knowledge. But in today's world companies see only profit and loss. They do not understand any other thing at all. Hope someday the world will change.

I absolutely agree with your point of view.Knowledge should be given priority above anything else.I think the trend has started to change.Because somebody got higher marks doesn't mean that he has more knowledge or is more capable.Even Bill gates was a harvard dropout.

Hi I don't think companies need to change the criteria of candidate selection in their organization because most of the time they judge the candidate's sincerity from the marks they obtained.But if you think less marks are preventing you to get a good job then be patience may be you deserve more than you are expecting and that ll be on the way . Good Luck !
