There isn't a specific CGPA requirement for placements. It varies by company. Some companies look for candidates with a CGPA of 8+, while others have no restrictions. However, to be on the safe side, it's advisable to maintain a GPA of 8.5+ across all semesters. A higher CGPA can give you an edge during personal interviews.
But remember, other skills are equally important for securing good placements. Here are some key factors to consider:
So, don’t just focus on CGPA; there are many other aspects that matter too! Feel free to reach out with any doubts. I'm here to help! :) Thank you.
DTU follows the CPI system for grading in B.Tech, which is pretty cool because it allows us to focus on our overall performance instead of just one big aggregate number. Being in Chemical Engineering, I appreciate how the CPI reflects my consistent efforts over the semesters. It makes it easier to gauge where I stand and what areas I need to improve in, especially with all the internships and placements coming up.
In my experience at DTU, we are assessed using CPI for our B.Tech courses, not an aggregate score. This means that every semester's performance contributes to our overall score, and it’s quite beneficial for Chemical Engineering students like me. It encourages us to maintain a steady performance throughout our time in college, which is really important, especially since we have a lot of opportunities for internships and placements starting from the 7th semester.
At Delhi Technological University (DTU), we get our performance evaluated using CPI (Cumulative Performance Index) rather than an aggregate score. This system helps us keep track of our grades more effectively throughout our B.Tech program. As a Chemical Engineering student, I find that the CPI gives a clearer picture of my academic standing, especially since we have a mix of practical and theoretical subjects.
It really depends on the company you’re targeting. The placement process for each company begins with a preliminary test. To be eligible for this test, you must meet a specific CPI cutoff, which varies from company to company. Most companies (only Adobe had a 75% cutoff this year) set their cutoff at around 70%. However, there are a few companies like Directi and Amazon that don’t have any cutoffs at all. So, to be on the safe side, aim for a 75+ aggregate.
To get a complete picture of the companies and their cutoffs, you can ask seniors for their RM credentials, but only if you know them well! :p
This covers the cutoff part. Once you’re shortlisted, everything hinges on your preparation, the quality of your CV, and your communication skills.
All the best for your placements! :)
