What to know before you apply

Razorpay publishes no campus criteria. Reports conflict: one on-campus candidate saw a 7.5 CGPA filter at their college (likely that college's bar), while a prep site says 60% aggregate. Neither is official, so no cutoff is shown. The real gate is the online assessment (CS-fundamentals MCQs plus 2-3 coding problems, reported) and the interviews, with low-level design for SDE-1. No recent fresher pay figure could be verified; trackers range from ₹12 to ₹29 LPA and usually include stock.
