CGPA and Hiring

What is the minimum CGPA that is required to sit in the placement drive of my college? I am in a private engineering college, so what would be the minimum eligibility for a CGPA to appear in the company interviews? Do students with higher CGPA have a better chance at campus placement or does it depend on how you perform in the test and interview?

Like in engineering colleges companies set cgpa cutoff, do companies in top MBA college also set any bar for previous academics apart from current CGPA?

Does CGPA really matter that much? I'd love to hear some personal stories and perspectives on this. It would be really helpful for a struggling student like me.

wrt first job, higher ed, job switching How much should it be at least? Considering placement short listing criteria at IIM/ISB or B schools abroad admit

I'm currently a final year student at tier-1 clg in Bangaluru. I have been placed at a company which offers 15 base pay, no stocks, 19.63ctc, I had 8 GPA when I gave the interview. This sem(7th) is completely fu**d up results to a cumulative GPA of 7.2 already, it can max utmost to 7.4 by the end of the degree if it does :(. I'm considering to change my current company after 1/2 years, will my cgpa pose any bad affect on it?

I want to know on what basis are you guys shorting your candidates for college summer interns, because I see the most random person getting selected and leaving out the good ones Also it's a no hope game for me, mine cgpa is less than 7

In @TCS ibegin portal There is a percentage field in which I have to fill my percentage . But in my college degree only CGPA is mentioned (Pune University) What should I put in percent field . If they don't accept it then will my application be rejected? Or they would call me for correction ?
