Dear Aspirant,

Yes, it will affect your  placement in different companies. The recruiters will ask you why you have taken 2 years drop in your career if you have the answer then it's positive. if you don't have that will not  affect the your impression on the recruiters. If you have made IIT or NIT then it will affect you but if your colleges are State level  that it will hamper your placements.

Hope this helps.

Good luck!
