What CGPA I should maintain at LPU to get more than 7 Lacs packages?

It totally depends upon the efforts you put. Although people say that 7 CGPA has to be maintained and 8 CGPA is found out to be average placements. Placements are already great at LPU. LPU saw participation from over 650 companies in recent 2020 placements and saw a great jump in the highest package that reached 42 LPA. The highest stipend also touched Rs 80,000 for the final placements in 2020. Keeping up with its high standards, over 550 national and international companies visited the campus this year including Hewlett Packard, Amazon, Abbott, IBM, Cognizant Technology Solutions, Google, and Microsoft.

Dear Sameeksha, I suppose that you are still in the first or second year of your engineering. Because once you reach your final years you will learn how CGPA matters. What role CGPA have in placement? SEE CGPA is the only criteria set to make students sit in companies as per their choice. It's like some company X came to LPU with a package of 12 LPA and says we need students above 7 GPA and No reappears. Anyone above that line would be treated the same as other irrespective of how much CGPA you have. And some other company Z comes with 3 LPA and asks for students with 7 GPA and above without any active backlogs. The thing is you can sit in both if you have 7+ CGPA cracking the interview is all dependent on you not based on your CGPA. Your CGPA might create some kind of interest in the interviewer (rarely) that they expect more from you in the interview and still pay you the same as others. Some companies might even offer more than 7 LPA with a very low CGPA bar. So the thing is CGPA is like a Key for the GATE to a huge treasure. Many have the keys to open the GATE but only a few solve the puzzle to take the treasure. A good CGPA of 7.5 above (as of now companies increased their bar) without any reappears would easily allow you to give you an opportunity. And it's OPPORTUNITY ONLY not the result. Only your hard work and dedication would fetch you the result. So learn things don't study them. Be confident and trust yourself. ALL THE BEST.

I feel it completely depends upon the skills and the efforts you give to your studies. If you have skills and works experience then definitely any company would prefer yours. But as some companies do have a demand for good CGPA hence for those you need to at least score more than 7 CGPA overall. And as far as I know, 8 CGPA is considered as average for many companies, But still, LPU has good placements records for many years and they have been placing their students even in this pandemic. And placements are still live in LPU. They prepare their students for placement have them in cracking interviews hence you don't need to worry much just prepare well and work on your skills. And even in this pandemic During the 2021-22 placement season, the number of offers peaked at a herculean 7200+ and counting, surpassing all the other premier institutions in the country. Lovely Professional University has set the notion of super dream placements a reality for aspiring Vertos. The placements at LPU keep getting better despite the ever-growing reigns of the pandemic, while the other institutions are still shaken by the soaring effects of the coronavirus outbreak. Hence I would say study hard and work more on your skills and brag the best placements.

Well, there are couple of companies that demand high CGPA but most of the 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. The classes are aimed at improving the student's soft skills, communication skills, cognitive skills, verbal ability and analytical ability. Every student is given couple of chances. LPU is conferred with National Employability Award 2020 by Aspiring Minds for the 7th time in a row for having Most Employable Students and being one among the top colleges and universities in India with one of the highest Employability rates. - 10th Best Training and Placements Institutions in India for 2019 by The Knowledge Review. - Business Today ranked LPU among Top 100 Private State Universities in 2019 in Placement Performance Category. - Proud recipient of Golden Star Award 2018 for being University with Best Placements in India - Digital Learning has recognised LPU as having the highest Placement Record in North India, 2018 - Zee News Survey rated us as 11th Best in India in Placements and MANY MORE.

It entirely depends upon on your efforts. Although some individuals believe that a 7 CGPA must be maintained, 8 CGPA placements have been proven to be typical. At LPU, placements are already excellent. In recent 2020 placements, LPU had over 650 firms participate in the placement drive, with the biggest package reaching 42 LPA, a significant increase. For the final appointments in 2020, the highest stipend reached INR 80,000. Over 550 national and international corporations, including Hewlett Packard, Amazon, Abbott, IBM, Cognizant Technology Solutions, Google, and Microsoft, visited the campus this year, upholding the university's excellent standards.

I am pass out student of LPU, I would say 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 than 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 doesn't 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 was 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/GD's/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. Build your coding skills if you want to get into software company. Build your public speaking skills and Team working skills if you want to work in a consultancy firm. Build your core technical knowledge other than that of course books if you want to get into core company of your respective branch. 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. Good Luck!

CGPA remains one of the important criteria for placements but that's not the only requirement. Although, In LPU to get a decent placement you need to maintain a minimum of 6.5- 7 CGPA. Shortlisting criteria for placement always differ from company to company. It purely depends upon the requisite Job profile or domain of that particular company. As per my knowledge, companies always keep shortlisting criteria nominal instead bare minimum. As per my understanding before talking about final placement one should consider about steps of getting shortlisted in campus placement drive where CGPA plays an important role. As per my experience, CGPA kept as nominal by most of the companies as shortlisting criteria. Final Placement depends upon many other parameters set by the prospective employer as per the requirement of that particular job profile. LPU always considers student's career interest / pathway in following 4 ways, 1)Corporate Job 2)Government Job 3)Higher Studies 4)Entrepreneurship Students just need to select their pathway elective subjects to continue with their placement related trainings. 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 possess dedicated 3 Nos. Of Centre of Professional Enhancement Cells consists of highly qualified & Industry Trained professional / career trainer.

Lovely Professional University is really good University. Right from the teachers to placements, everything's amazing and taken care of.

Although Percentage and CGPA play a very important role in campus selection they cannot be said to be the sole criteria. It all depends on your hard work, efforts, and dedication you are putting in to avail the best suitable career option. Being an alumnus of LPU, I very well know the efforts LPU puts in to get their students placed with top MNC's. LPU even has a Centre for Professional Enhancement which specifically focuses on Verbal ability, Analytical Skills, Presentation, and soft skills of students by including various Mock tests, GDs, Mock Interviews, etc. LPU has always focused on exposing their students through grand panels of industry leaders through various Industrial visits, Competitions, Live Projects, Conclaves etc. And all just for bright careers of their young minds. LPU students have been even placed with a maximum package of 42 LPA to an average of 3-4 LPA as well. No doubt, all the students can't avail the maximum package but why to just focus on the average. The slogan speaks itself- 'THINKBIG'. LPU is undoubtedly giving their 100% and it becomes our responsibility to give 110% in return and be the next Tania Arora of LPU and pay off our hard work.

As per my understanding. There is no such benchmark rather worth mentioning student should maintain a viable CGPA. In this context, It's worth mentioning that, I got the opportunity to work closely as Student Placement Coordinator in LPU during my study. As per my understanding before talking about final placement one should consider about steps of getting shortlisted in campus placement drive where CGPA plays an important role. As per my experience, CGPA kept as nominal by most of the companies as shortlisting criteria. Final Placement depends upon many other parameters set by the prospective employer as per the requirement of that particular job profile. Also the shortlisting criteria for placement always differ from company to company. It's purely depends upon the requisite Job profile or domain of that particular company. As per my knowledge, companies always keep shortlisting criteria nominal instead bare minimum. LPU always considers student's career interest / pathway in following 4 ways, 1) Corporate Job 2) Government Job 3) Higher Studies 4) Entrepreneurship Students just need to select their pathway elective subjects to continue with their placement related trainings. 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 possess dedicated 3 Nos. Of Centre of Professional Enhancement Cells consists of highly qualified & Industry Trained professional / career trainer. It's having dedicated Division of Career Services which do work round the clock for the placement of the students. LPU is having tie ups with multiple foreign Universities which provides excellent International exposure under students exchange programme during their studies which in turn definitely helps the students in grabbing multiple job opportunities at the end of their studies. LPU is having unbeatable Placement Record with nearly 100 % success rate in most of the courses. In terms of placement in 2020, it was really tough for all to proceed further. But thanks to the availability of advanced technologies, upgraded stuffs in LPU & since the students were well prepared by LPU to overcome any of the situations to achieve their final goal, LPU managed to achieve more than 7000 job offers, internships, training for its students. Hope this helps !
