However, the CGPA criteria may vary from company to company.

Some companies may consider candidates with a CGPA of 6 and above, while others may require a higher CGPA. It's best to check with the companies you're interested in applying to, or with your college placement cell, to know their eligibility criteria.You can also prepare for placements by focusing on your skills, project work, and interview preparation. This will help you stand out, even with a slightly lower CGPA.
