makes a noticeable impact here in India, we had CGPA (out of 10).. many companies coming for placements have a cut-off to even be allowed to sit for tests.. some allow to bypass the test if you've got higher CGPA.. I topped my class and got the job I wanted.. however looking back, I could see issues with this - I was good at memorizing stuff and motivated enough to get good grades even for subjects I didn't like.. there's just too many subjects and students that the college life was mostly about mugging up and not oriented towards practical aspects of engineering.. even implementing open-book tests would help to improve our way of thinking.. and during my time, most students got placed in IT despite studying ECE/EEE/Mech/etc
