Due to the increased demand for specialization, many students can be found transferring their branches to Artificial Intelligence departments since those provide better placement opportunities and high salary packages. 

There is no specific CGPA requirement needed for a branch change. However, in accordance with the branch change policy, no department can take more than 10 % of its current number of students through the provision of Branch Change. So a branch that has 50 students can only admit 5 top students from other branches. 

Hence it can be concluded that there is no specific CGPA required for branch change. It all depends on the competition between the students. However, based on one of my friends' experiences, the approximate CGPA required for branch change to AI or CS is around 9.6-9.8 in the first semester. Please note that this is just an approximate figure as there are no fixed criteria.

It is essential to ensure that you secure a percentile of at least 95 in the CAT and have an excellent academic background. To increase your chances of getting selected, it is recommended to aim for a score above the 98 percentile as they have limited seats for non-Maharashtra students.

SPJIMR tends to prefer candidates with a profile of 90+ in academics, CAT/XAT/GMAT, and extracurriculars, with keywords such as national level, work experience at renowned companies like Google or Microsoft, and alumni from top institutes like IIT, NIT, BIT, SRCC, Stephens, and so on. They look for a "spike" in one of the areas, which means that if you have good academic scores, extracurricular achievements, and work experience, you can still stand out if you have a particular talent or accomplishment in one of the areas. For example, being a state-level Ranji player can spike your extracurriculars and increase your chances of getting a call from SPJIMR.

Although most candidates get selected based on their extraordinary academic scores, some exceptional candidates with unique talents and accomplishments in extracurriculars, work experience, or other areas can also secure a place in the program. Therefore, it is essential to ensure that you have a well-rounded profile with decent academic scores, extracurricular achievements, work experience, and a spike in one of the areas to increase your chances of getting selected by SPJIMR.
