Yes, many universities in Germany and the USA may accept applications with a CGPA between 7.0 and 7.8, but acceptance depends on the university and program.

- Germany: Top universities usually prefer higher CGPAs (around 8.0+), but many public universities and Universities of Applied Sciences consider applicants with CGPAs in the 7.0 - 7.5 range if other parts of your application are strong.
- USA: A CGPA of 7.0 - 7.8 typically converts to a 2.8 - 3.1 GPA on the US 4.0 scale. While top schools expect higher GPAs, many mid-tier and regional universities accept applicants in this range, especially if you have strong supporting documents.

Admission is competitive, so a strong Statement of Purpose, Letters of Recommendation, and English proficiency scores can improve your chances.
