Hello, currently I am pursuing my MBA in marketing last sem. I have completed BE (mech) and also have work experience in an automobile ancillary firm of 19 months. I have been placed in an MNC while pursuing my MBA. Their criteria was 60% throughout, and I have 58% in 12th, which I lied about on my resume stating I have 60%, and I got selected. I have to join the company within a week's time. What do I do now? Are my 12th std marks still important, considering I have successfully completed BE with distinction, first-class in MBA till now, and work experience of 19 months?
Please suggest me the course of action.

Hi, Please inform to MNC firm about these. If they will do Back ground verification in future than might be your employment would face some problem. Regards, Ashish

If you have lied about it, it certainly matters. "Once a liar, always a liar," is the perception the company will have. If you do not admit and apologize at this stage, the company may think that you are a pathological liar when they catch you.

Hi Anonymous, By apologizing now you stand a chance to clear what could become a nagging future worry. There is also, as others have said, a danger of being rejected later. V.Raghunathan

Hi Anonymous,
You can write an apology email to the HR of the company and also remember to state that you were eagerly waiting to work with this firm. Hope they will consider your candidature.
Wish you luck!

You have undone your chances by telling lies. Multinationals have a process of verification even after joining, and you can assume that you will get caught eventually. Never tell lies on paper at least! Good luck to you.

Hello Anonymous107,
While concurring with the other members, let me put the options you have very clearly and succinctly.
Option #1: Forget about what you did and go ahead and join this MNC. The best-case scenario would be that you will never get caught and all's rosy for your career. The worst-case scenario would be: You will get caught during the Background Verification and thrown out — IF and WHEN it is done [meaning you will be working with a sword over your head all the time].
Option #2: Admit what you did... maybe saying due to some friend's lousy suggestion... to the HR of the MNC. The best-case scenario: The MNC would admire your action and still go ahead with the offer and you can join after completing your MBA. The worst-case scenario: The MNC would withdraw the offer and you will have to look out for a new job — with a company where percentage is not very critical and MORE importantly, you don't have to keep looking back all through your career.
I don't think you have any other option.
Now the choice is yours — since it's YOUR life and career.
And in case you intend to go for the second option, suggest FIRST inform the HR verbally and offer to give in writing IF needed. Going directly for a written letter/mail MAY NOT be to your advantage.
All the best.

Personally talk to HR and give them an apology letter if they ask. Probably you could also say that you were so impressed by the name and fame of the MNC, that you made this error. Ask them to overlook this slip on your side.

I agree with the comments that have been made here in regard to dishonesty and the need to rectify that problem. However, can someone help me out here?
What relevance is this 12 Std? If my Google search is correct, then this is the final year of secondary school in India. The OP has gone on to higher study at University with apparently excellent results. Surely that trumps anything done as a child at school??
Why would any employer be interested in something done at secondary school? Why would you waste time even putting that on a resume? As I have pointed out many times here on CiteHR, successful employees are chosen based on their ability to DO THE JOB, not on vague and useless measures such as secondary school results. That defies logic!!
I was an abject failure at mathematics in school. I got 24% in my final exam. Yet, I have completed 47 years of successful employment using mathematics in various aspects of all my jobs.
