Does a year back affect one's placements in engineering?

A year's backdrop is generally considered red flag for recruiter but can be nullified if some great achievement is demonstrated like Internship experience, Certificate programmes in technical skills to showcase practical knowledge, technical projects conducted via college, extra curriculum indulging position of responsibility. Your social media profile with all these skills may help you make your year drop redundant. Any recruiter would just not hire a student on his academic performance but also his personality and his technical domain knowledge. Your resume if highlights your core skills and makes you stand apart from the crowd, your year deop would hardly have any significant impact on placements. End of the day how you perform in an interview and how well versed you're with sound abreast concepts will determine your success. PS:- Some recruiters may not allow sitting as per their eligibility criteria but that doesn't deter your chances as many companies look for overall growth like Convonix which hires only on personal skills.

Yes it does effect the placement in engineering. Many good conpanies have the criteria of no backlog and a minimum percentage . So a year back effects. But if you are looking for mass recruiters , then that won't affect your short listing
