dear sir,
it is not only it companies which keep cut off percentages low but also many other private and public sectors keep the cut off percentage as 60%. the very simple reason behind it is that they would never judge a person's skill and talents based on marks scored . sometimes the person scoring real low have wonderful programming skills compared to the topper. it is all about giving equal opportunity to everyone either weak or strong. sometimes people with 90% have very poor communiation skills and people with 55-60% person have excellent communication. then if company just opt foy 90% then it would be a great loss to the company rather than to the candidate .
hope my answer reached your expectations. thank you .
