During 2015 companies as Ernst & Young or PricewaterhouseCoopers, announced that they would no longer use the college or university grades as a way of selecting graduate recruits and they will scrap the requirement.

Nowadays, not only for graduates, but also for professionals I’ve observed that there are some companies that requested the marks or grades in your masters or degrees.

When it becomes to be employable, from your point of view, Is the degree classification linked to professional success?

Grades mean nothing for so many reasons as it does not reflect how the person is professional wise. Some people are great in their profession but bad at writing exams.

I know others who graduated with low grades from school and now they are great doctors, engineers or project managers.

A degree is must, however, transcripts and marks could be important only for fresh graduates just to show anything.

Kevin Drake hit the mark. If you’re a new graduate with little to no experience than grades should be a factor.
