Well, there are a couple of companies that demand high CGPA but most of the companies don't stress that. They see how a person presents oneself and conducts oneself in an interview. For campus placement at LPU, one has to register oneself for placements. You pay a fee of Rs 10000. Once the university enrols in the placements, you have to attend PEP, (professional enhancement programme) classes. The classes are aimed at improving the student's soft skills, communication skills, cognitive skills, verbal ability, and analytical ability. Every student is given a couple of chances.

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.

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.

Hi Sameeksha, you seem to be all geared up for your placement. Its good to prepare well in advance or atleast make a strategy for it. Now lets come to your question, well, there are couple of companies that demand high CGPA, say 8 or 6 but many companies don't stress on that. They SEE how a person presents oneself, conduct oneself in a interview. For campus placement at LPU, one has to register oneself for placements. You pay a fee of Rs 10000. Once the university enrols in the placements, you have to attend PEP, (professional enhancement programme) classes.

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.

Puneet Singh · Answer

Being alumni of LPU, I can answer better this question. 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 550+ companies visit LPU every year. In fact, LPU created a new record in the whole of North India by placing its student Tanya Arora with Microsoft, who bagged a package of 42 LPA. Besides, other record-breaking placements for LPU includes: the highest Placement (Engineering) Rs. 42 Lacs per annum (Microsoft) the highest Placement (Management) Rs. 19.75 Lacs per annum (SOBHA Developers) the highest Placement (Design) Rs. 15 Lacs per annum (Trident Group) Amazon recruited LPU students on a package of 28 LPA The highest internship stipend is up to 80k per month. (which is really hard to get in other universities) The reason why LPU has better placement records than CU is because of its unique career cell. It enables students in getting relevant work experience to complement their studies and develop appropriate skills and knowledge. Resume writing, aptitude development workshops among other activities are hosted for the overall development of students and prepare them to crack the interviews easily. Alumni of LPU are working with top-notch brands globally with a package of more than 1 crore. Right from Google to Apple, students are working worldwide. Some of the top recruiters are Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, Accenture, Cognizant, Amazon, TCS, IBM, Informatica, Capgemini, SAP, Infosys, Tech Mahindra, Bosch, Ashok Leyland, Voltas, Mercedes Benz, Honda, Daikin, Renault Nissan, Sony, Adobe, Virtusa, KPIT, Morgan Stanley, Hindustan Unilever Ltd, Trident Group, Infineon, KPMG, Colgate-Palmolive and the list still goes on. The best thing I like about LPU about placement is, they provide placement classes to all the students from the very first year who opt for the placement. With the help of this, they can prepare themselves for placements till the pre-final year because the companies will start visit for the recruitment of students from a pre-final year. Some of the students go for internships also in their final year. LPU received an Employability award by Aspiring Mind in 2020 for best placement Institute in India. LPU is ranked 10th best university for Training and Placement in 2019 by Knowledge Review I hope this answer is helpful to you. ! Thanks!
