Google Eligibility Criteria for Freshers 2026

Google eligibility criteria for freshers (candidate-reported): when campus JDs list academics, expect a soft floor around 6.0 CGPA / 60% across 10th, 12th, and graduation; no active backlogs; full-time CS-related degrees for most SWE posts. Shortlists often sit higher (7.5–8.5). Coding depth beats a marginal CGPA edge.
