Is it normal while applying for a senior level job to be asked for high school (10th and 12th percentage)?

I mean I have work experience of over 12 years but it’s the first time I have seen this. Like mostly am gonna go with red flag with the company but what are your thoughts? The company is Engati btw. Based in Bangalore and mumbai. Anyway stay toxic Indian tech scene…!

Why should school marks matter even after 10 years?
