For good placement opportunities, most core and higher‑paying companies at LPU generally expect a CGPA of around 7.0 or above, with many mass‑recruiters sitting at 6.0–6.5 as their cutoff. Some top‑tier and multinational firms prefer candidates with 8.0+ to stay competitive in shortlists. Beyond CGPA, strong technical skills, communication, and active participation in training and projects also significantly influence how good a package a student can secure.

Arya Sharma · Answer

There is no fixed CGPA required for placements at LPU, but maintaining a CGPA of around 6.5–7 or above is generally considered safe to be eligible for most placement opportunities.

However, placement also depends on skills, communication, and performance in interviews, so CGPA is just one factor. Str

The majority of employers prefer CGPA between 6 to 6.5. You can apply to 7075% of the companies if you have a minimum CGPA. Some businesses, however, prefer it to be about 8.5. It is merely a cutoff set by businesses to screen applicants. You will qualify for 100% of the firms if your GPA is higher than 8.5. A 7 CGPA with talents is more preferable to a 9 CGPA with no skills. Businesses are not seeking bookworms. They are looking for competent people. Do your best because your parents and other family members will just look at your CGPA and not your skills. Yes, if you are good enough, keeping a 7-8 CGPA in LPU won't be a problem for you.

Navneet Kaur · Answer

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. LPU is better in terms of placements. Every year more than 1000 companies visit LPU every year. Year-on-year LPU has been setting new records with regard to students placements. LPU provides ample opportunities to each and every eligible student to secure good placement with the help of a dedicated Division of Career Services (team of about 40 persons), Centre for Professional Enhancement and faculty/staff from parent Schools.

Yes, a good CGPA is required to get good placements. If you have reappears of backlogs then they will not let you sit in placement drive actually they required 6.50 CGPA. And maintaining a good CGPA is a sign of a good student. Apart from this LPU do a lot of hard work to get their student placed. They give students PEP classes. In which students can enhance their communication skills and interpersonal skills which is most important in terms of interview points of view.

If you want to score good CGPA in any programme, be regular in your class, don't miss the lectures because if you maintain more then 90% attendance, you will get marks. Now marks of all four section will be added and it will decide your final TGPA of semester. Your total marks will added and final grade is depends upon the performance of other students in that subject. If the highest score in that subject is low then your grade will be high even if your marks is less and vice-versa. Believe me guys, Once you get shortlisted to sit in a company, CGPA does not matter at all. But, concentrate more on the word SHORTLISTED. If you are not shortlisted, you will not be able to even sit for the company exam. That's the reason CGPA becomes the most important thing in university. Now, here the tricky part. What if you are always getting shortlisted but you don't have the skills which companies actually want from you, You don't have that personality, that aura, that technical knowledge or those coding skills? In my batch, I have seen both types of students. One were those who were unable to appear in much of the companies because of CGPA issues but when they got even 1 chance they bagged the Job. Second types were those who were always getting shortlisted for each company but still were getting rejected from companies because they lacked those skill set which company wanted. So to conclude, I would say, CGPA holds importance till you are shortlisted for a company. After that, during interviews/GDs/Case Studies, companies will not care if you are a 10 pointer or 7 pointer. So, try maintaining a balance between studies and extra co-curricular activities. Keep in mind, studying for CGPA and studying for knowledge are two different things. I have seen people having high CGPA, still lacking basics. I have also seen people with low CGPA but having great technical knowledge. You will score between 6.5 to 8 CGPA for sure to maintain a balance in these mentioned criteria.
