Microsoft CGPA Criteria for Freshers 2026
Microsoft CGPA criteria (candidate-reported): a common floor is 6.5 CGPA / 65% across 10th, 12th, and graduation. Off-campus applicants usually face a tougher effective bar - shortlisted profiles more often sit at 7.0-8.5 CGPA. There is no single official published cutoff for every India drive.

On-campus vs off-campus CGPA
Off-campus does not mean easier coding. It usually means more applicants and no college pre-filter, so academics look stricter in practice even when the printed floor is unchanged.

Microsoft CGPA criteria off campus?
Same ~6.5 printed floor in many reports; effective shortlist often 7.0-8.5 without a campus filter.
Is 7.0 CGPA enough for Microsoft?
Usually clears eligibility. OA performance still decides.
