Hi Aspirant,

This is not just about Gitam University(Bengaluru) but this is about what kind of students a corporate world want. Basically keeping CGPA above 7 makes a student eligible for almost all the companies coming for placements to college. Also in engineering it is not difficult to get marks above 8 CGPA too. So a CGPA above 7 and if possible above 8 makes a student to have greater opportunities during placements.

Hope this helps.

Good luck!!
