What to know before you apply
Flipkart publishes no campus criteria. Campus shortlists are by resume, then an online test (reported as 3 problems in 90 minutes, or 2 in some reports). Prep sites say a CGPA of 7.0 or more helps and report no current backlogs, but cite no Flipkart source, and no source gives a gap rule, so no cutoff is shown. Pay: prep sites report ₹18 LPA base plus a bonus from a prior cycle, while a 2024 GRiD listing is quoted at ₹32 LPA; neither could be verified. GRiD 8.0 (2026, for 2027-2030 graduates) is a separate contest route.
