EXCECUTIVE SUMMARY
A major focus of this Assignment involves finding a relationship between CGPA of students and their placements. The research study concentrate around the process carried out at our own college ISB&M with the junior batch. The main objective of our research was: To study & analyze the causal link between CGPA and Placements. To determine the factors responsible for Interns. To analyze weather Academics is given more weightage or the extra curricle activities. The process started with getting a questionnaire filled by the junior batch. A sample of 33 students was taken. The questionnaire contains 15 questions and we used mainly Nominal & Likert scale. The research got even more interesting when we got the expected results. While analyzing and concluding the research we found out that factors like Extrovertness of a student, his taking part in other activities, being confident & smart with an average academic score was what got them plaud first thus we concluded that there is no direct relation between CGPA and intern. It is important to maintain a decent CGPA but not the most important other factors play a crucial role.

OBJECTIVE
The objective of our research is to find a causal relation between the CGPA of a student and their internship placement. We want to find out the factors that help the student in getting placed for which we have taken consideration like CGPA, Intelligence, Extrovertness, Participativeness in Co- Curricular activities , Number of Assignments done, Academics Experience and some other factors. Therefore our motive is to find whether CGPA results into placements or other said factors. FRAMING HYPOTHESIS: Hypothesis 1: CGPA does not play an important role in getting the students placed. Hypothesis 2: it has been proved that students between 4 to5 CGPA got place early. Hypothesis 3: Extrovertness has been the most important characteristic for getting placed. Hypothesis 4: Academics have a positive relation with placement. Hypothesis 5: Written assignments have not helped the students in getting placed. Hypothesis 6: Participation in co- curricular activities has been given a lot of weightage. Hypothesis 7: past experience at certain place has been given weightage. Thus we can conclude by saying that other factors have been given more importance than CGPA in getting a student placed for interns.
