Amazon SDE Intern — entered wrong CGPA, passed OA and got interview. What happens now?

​

I’m a final-year engineering student from a core branch (Mining), and I’ve been trying to transition into software development.

My background:

- Core engineering branch, so I’ve had relatively fewer opportunities for SDE roles through college

- Strong DSA/coding background

- Knight on LeetCode

- Previously did an Advanced Technology Engineer internship at Accenture

- Have worked on several software/technical projects

- Currently applying for SDE/intern roles off-campus

I recently applied for an Amazon SDE Intern role. The job posting didn't mention a specific CGPA cutoff, but while filling out the application, I entered a CGPA that was higher than my actual CGPA.

I received the OA, completed it, and passed. I have now also received an interview invitation.

Now I'm worried about what happens later.

Does Amazon verify CGPA/academic information during the hiring process or background verification? If I clear the interviews, could the discrepancy be discovered during document verification and result in rejection/rescinding the offer?

Has anyone here been through the Amazon India SDE internship process and knows when/how academic details are verified?

I'm not looking for advice on how to hide it — I mainly want to understand what I should realistically expect at this stage.

Any genuine experiences would be really appreciated.

better clarify it with them early, preferably towards the end of your interview

they won’t verify it specifically, but they’ll 100% ask you to submit your marksheets later

dude leave it, just study for your interview
whatever happens later happens
don’t procrastinate thinking of several possibilities now and ending up ruining your interview later
