Bachelor of Technology in Computer Science and Engineering: What cgpa is required to get the dream companies from iit BHU?
Here is some strong advice for those who are conscious about their CGPA to get placed in a top firm. The kind of job and package you are offered depends on your skills and talents and not your CGPA or the institute you belong to. Many intelligent students secure good packages from average institutes while average students get low packages even from top colleges.
Also, if you are investing your entire energy and efforts in job hunting, you won’t be able to enjoy the process of studying for your favorite branch. If you aren’t planning to become an entrepreneur or go for higher studies, then you will have to focus on your CGPA to get placed with a decent package. That being said, a CGPA >=8 is considered decent by many companies at least for shortlisting in the written round. Your CGPA is not much of value if you have excellent coding skills. So look at the bigger picture and stop focusing on CGPA only!

As per the IIT BHU placement trends, big companies like Microsoft and Facebook don’t care much about CGPA. These companies select students based on their coding skills. They have a crisp and straightforward procedure for interviews. If you can pass the coding tests and answer the questions, you will be hired.
Companies like DE Shaw, Adobe, Arista, etc. give weightage to CGPA. But if you are good at coding, you can get selected, even with a low CGPA.
So, if your coding skills are on point, you don’t need to worry about placements.
Rather than placements, CGPA matters more at the time of internships. Many companies don’t shortlist students with lower CGPA. So, try to keep your CGPA above 8.
