4-5.5percent for anyone with 4 or 5 ratings.
3 for 3rd rating
2 for 2nd rating.

There are special cases where if you are securing 5 rating consecutively for 2-3 years then appraisal might be 9-10%

For promotion it is around 15percent from current ctc

I got 2 rating. What does it mean. I joined last year March 2025. I am a SA. Do I need to worry ? I don't want promotion so soon though. But I was expecting to get rating 4 as I have worked on tight deadlines and deliverables. Not sure what is rating 2 here means. Please help

I'm almost done with my master's and right now we are discussing the knowledge gap that happens in 4th grade with our lower-class students. They know or have the skills for how to read (for the most part) but seem not to be able to comprehend what they are reading due to the fact that they don't have background knowledge like their upper-class peers - which is due to life experiences. Have you noticed this in your classes? I have but didn't realize why it was so hard to catch them up.
