Paytm doesn't publish a fixed CGPA or percentage cutoff — SDE/SSE hiring is driven mainly by how you perform in the interview loop itself and by relevant project/internship experience, not a screening threshold on your transcript.
Who can apply
| Degree | B.Tech/B.E., M.Tech/M.E., MCA, or equivalent in Computer Science or a related field |
| Experience band | Roles are commonly hired from fresher/1.5 YOE (SDE-1) through 2-3+ YOE (SDE-2/SSE) |
| Route | Off-campus via the Paytm careers portal / a referral, or on-campus at select colleges |
| Screening | No published minimum CGPA — resume shortlisting looks at projects, prior payments/backend experience, and coding-platform activity, then the online assessment does the real filtering |
Prior exposure to payments, banking, or high-concurrency backend systems is not mandatory but is reported to help candidates land design-round questions more confidently, since several rounds are framed around fintech-style problems.
