Hello Aspirant,

Leading tech giants and recruitment firms like TCS, Wipro, Accenture have a rule that an education gap of more than one year is not suitable. However, it is different for different firms.

• For Wipro, a max. of three years of education interval is authorized in the middle of the 10th standard and undergraduate course.
• No intervals are enabled during Graduation. Graduation must be obtained in 3-4 years.
• Education must be formal full period only in 10th, 10+2, and Graduation acknowledged by the Central/State GOI.
• For TCS, It is compulsory to announce the gaps/arrears/backlogs at the time of education and/or job.
• Interval in education cannot be because of expansive schooling.
• Any gap in education/job for more than 24 months is not enabled and is acceptable only for reasonable explanations.
• For Accenture, gap-related norms are not there but the HR interviewer might ask you about it. So, better be prepared for this.

I hope it helps.

Thank you.
