Question

Puneet Singh · Answer

Dear Aspirant, The requirement of CGPA for placement depends on the particular company visiting for the placement. As per my experience, most of the companies ask for a minimum of 6 CGPA to get eligible for placement. I would suggest you maintain a 7 CGPA minimum to get eligible for all companies. For more details, you can contact your placement coordinator. I hope this helps Good Luck!

In LPU, generally for most courses, CGPA is not the criteria to get you placed. However, there are some companies that ask for minimum CGPA. Like In the School of Computer Science and Engineering, things are a little opposite. Companies that hire students from CSE expect students to maintain a minimum level of CGPA. The CGPA score may vary from company to company, but you got to have a decent score. Like we cant go with 5 CGPA and backlog and declared that I want to be hired. Because Some organizations require you to have a CGPA as high as 8, but the good news is, in the case with Amazon, Cognizant, and TCS. They are pretty flexible when it comes to CGPA. For them, a score of 5 or 6 is acceptable. They demand skills, knowledge, your work experience. But apart from all this, I would suggest you maintain a CGPA of 6 or 7. This will rule out the possibility of not getting hired with keeping score as a reference. Boost your skills, knowledge, attend as many seminars as you get a chance to attend. Grab every opportunity you get. Just don't stop and LPU won't let stop also :P because LPU gives uncountable opportunities to their students to excel in the practical world. Never miss your placement classes. Always attend to your soft skills. And believe after all this it won't be hard to reach a set target.

For CSE placements at Lovely Professional University, there isn't a fixed official CGPA cut-off, but most companies expect a minimum around 6.5–7.0 to be eligible for campus drives, and many top recruiters prefer 8.0 or above to increase chances of better offers.

For CSE placements at LPU, Most companies set a minimum CGPA threshold between 6.0 and 6.5, allowing students to participate in the placement process. However, to access a wider and higher-quality pool of job opportunities, particularly from top-tier recruiters, aiming for a CGPA of 7.0 or above is advisable. Many alumni and faculty suggest that, 7.0 CGPA opens doors to most tech and service-level companies. 8.0+ CGPA significantly improves visibility to multinational and product-based firms. A CGPA of 8.5 or higher is often seen as a safe buffer to ensure eligibility across nearly all top recruiters.

Dear aspirant, the minimum CGPA required for placement varies depending on the specific company visiting your campus. In my experience, many companies typically seek candidates with a minimum CGPA of 6 to be eligible for placement opportunities. To maximize your chances and have access to a broader range of opportunities, I recommend aiming for a minimum CGPA of 7. For more precise information, it's advisable to reach out to your placement coordinator, who can provide you with further details and guidance. I hope this information is helpful to you.

Some companies want high CGPA - 7 or more. Those having lesser CGPA are not allowed to sit in the interview. CGPA is one part where one must guard oneself and leave no loopholes. However there is one thing one has to do. Not paying any attention to co curricular activities would be suicidal. One has to aim at holistic development. The companies not only want intelligent people but also those who are good at presenting things. This one can learn while doing mock interviews, group discussions, presentations and other such activities. The teachers, mentors and the placement faculty will pin point the flaws that will help the students improve themselves. So do not leave any aspect untouched. Get into grooming yourself from all possible angles. Accordingly students are provided with PEP (Professional Enhancement programme) classes from the very first semester with which students all round development like Soft Skill, Interpersonal Skill, Combination Skill etc. LPU has Centre of Professional Enhancement Cells.
