Is there a CPI threshold by companies coming for placements in DA-IICT?

I will answer this question keeping in mind final year placements and not pre-final year internships.

To graduate from DA-IICT, you need to have above 5 CPI in ICT and above 6.5 CPI in ICT with CS.

Few companies like Amazon and Directi do not require minimum CPI to appear for the test.

Some better opportunities like those at Microsoft and Morgan Stanley require a CPI of above 7. Microsoft might even be interested in your SPI to be above 7 for each semester.

Most of the companies coming to DA-IICT require a minimum CPI of 6. This also includes mass recruitment companies like Infosys and L&T.

Hence, from perspective of opportunities, higher the CPI more the opportunities. Although, beyond a point, it does not serve you additional benefits. At DA-IICT this point is at 6 CPI, which will move up in a few years again.

For all I observed, students with exceptionally high CPI will have it a tad more difficult as the recruiters consider them more academically oriented with more chances of going for higher studies immediately after graduation!
