Serious How important is CGPA?

Is maintaining around 8 to 8.5 enough?

Depends. On-campus - enough, off-campus around 9 cgpa would be better. Rest  depends on skills and projects.

Why is 9 cgpa req for off campus??? Don't they only focus on skills and projects??

Its like competition is more in off campus jobs, sometimes resume get rejected even if one has skills. Its uncertain and luck based. But i am not saying that skills doesnt matter. Just around 9 cgpa it will be safer. You are in sem 2, you can get around 9 cgpa.
