well abhinav after having some work experience in this function i can assure you that CGPA wont make/break your career in marketing.ofcourse its always good to have a high CGPA , but its not a pre-requisite.

Howevr its a competetive world so one does need to ensure a safe level of cgpa atleast !

HEY ABHINAV.....I DONT THINK CGPA IS A CRITERIA...YES A GOOD CGPA WUD HELP U CLIMB A STEP UP THE LADDER BUT THEN ITS NOT THE BE ALL AND END ALL.....

IF U HAVE IT IN U THEN U CAN MAKE IT....... I BELIEVE HOW U CONVERSE IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT AND ALSO HAVIN AN ALL ROUND PERSONALITY MAKES A DIFFERENCE

yeah i think a good cgpa would matter during the placement at our campus, as they have abt 600 student to deal with and approx 350 ppl taking up marketing as their major. yes your communication skills would matter in your gds nd interview bt you still need to qualify/ be eligible for that round, by having a decent cgpa. a cgpa of above 7 would anytime suffice.....

i completely agree with abhinav that sadly for the marketing people the word sales and marketing seem to be inter changeable which i think is untrue and unfair.....as far as CGPA affecting the placements i really dont see that as a problem area cause those decent CGPA's are just an entry ticket for the further rounds of your dream company.......

Hi everybody,

Arguments like CGPA doesn't play a role in career is true in all aspect. The pitfall of this arguments is that at the B School entry level, students get too much carried away by this and doesn't care about their syllabus right from the first day(Like me). That is a serious point of concern Rolling Eyes

After missing the boat, i feel that not doing well in some subjects resulted in a comparatively less CGPA Shocked

. However, industry demands multiskilled, multidextrous people. Translates to basic knowledge in all streams. This shall be achieved by having a serious approach to all first year papers.

As a piece of evidence, i can state my SIP(with IT service Co)wherein we work on building Finance sense to Codejockeys Idea

. As the industry moves to aviation, these jockeys has to become sensible pilots too. Wink

If CGPA translates to wide knwoledge, then it is MUST Exclamation
