Does your CGPA define your engineering career? Learn when GPA matters for placements and how to stand out with projects.
Many college students worry that a low CGPA will prevent them from landing a tech internship. While some legacy companies use GPA as a basic filter, the modern startup ecosystem cares much more about what you can build.
Major corporate companies (such as TCS, Infosys, and legacy banks) often enforce a strict minimum CGPA (like 7.0 or 8.0) to filter their high volume of applications. If you are applying to these roles, a high GPA is helpful.
For off-campus tech startups, your portfolio and projects matter most. Showing a strong project built with clean architecture (like MVVM) on your GitHub profile carries more weight than a perfect GPA. Use **InternshipUncle** to identify what skills are required for your target role, then build a project that proves you have them.
