How much CGPA is required for placement?
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?
CGPA is just a cut off criteria,
Your interview performance matters,
Higher the CGPA, heigher boosted points to your profile .
Not really, I have seen students with 6 gpa also sitting and getting through interviews. Not sure what's the hiring climate currently, but CG has been doing fresher hiring the past month.
If you want to get a job in an IT company and your college has organised a placement drive, then you should consider keeping a CGPA between 7.5 and 8. Though the required CGPA varies from one company to another. Keeping a decent percentage at school and college is important. However, it is not the only thing interviewers consider when choosing potential candidates for their company. It is also important for you to prepare questions for the placement drive. You will be asked questions related to your personal life, educational background, career goals and other things. Make sure you answer them well and with confidence. Of course, sitting for job interviews can be challenging but that nervousness shouldn’t show up on your face.
