Is there a requirement for a minimum CGPA in various courses while applying for a PhD program?

Well, the answer is yes and no. 

• Most PhD programs that I know of don’t have a CGPA requirement. They look at your application as a whole and decide whether you’re admissible or not.  
• So if you have a low CGPA but have done some exceptional research work, you might still be able to get in. 
• There’s no hard CGPA requirement because it doesn’t make sense for universities to set one – someone with a very low GPA may be more productive than someone with an excellent GPA. 
• However, most PhD programs do have minimum CGPA requirements for specific courses. 
• For example, if you want to apply for a physics program, they might require you to have a minimum CGPA of 3.0 in your undergraduate physics courses. 
• Most universities require a minimum CGPA of 3.0 (out of 4.0). But if you have an outstanding score in GRE and TOEFL, you can make up for your low CGPA.
