PRESS RELEASE                                     FOR IMMEDIATE PUBLICATION

            CGI's Indian-based application development centers obtain
                    highest quality standards - CMM Level 5

Bangalore,  India, March 21, 2002 - CGI Group Inc. (NYSE: GIB; TSE: GIB.A) (CGI)
is pleased to announce that their Indian-based  application development centers,
located in Bangalore and Mumbai,  have both  obtained the highest  quality level
rating of the Software  Engineering  Institute's (SEI) Capability Maturity Model
(CMM Level 5) for their  software  process  capability.  The CMM  describes  the
principles  and  practices  underlying  software  process  maturity.  It  covers
practices for  planning,  engineering,  and managing  software  development  and
maintenance.  The CMM was created by SEI, based in Carnegie Mellon University in
Pittsburgh,  PA, in order to help  organizations gain control of their processes
for  developing  and  maintaining  software and  promoting a culture of software
engineering and management excellence in their operations.

The CMM  establishes a benchmark  against  which it is possible to assess,  in a
repeatable way, the maturity of an  organization's  software process and compare
it to the state of the  practice  of the  industry.  The CMM can also be used to
plan improvements in an organization's  software process.  When followed,  these
key  practices  improve  the  ability of  organizations  to meet goals for cost,
schedule, functionality, and product quality.

Quality  processes  have always been at the  forefront of CGI's  operations.  In
1994, CGI became the first  information  technology  company in North America to
become ISO 9001 certified for its Project Management  Framework.  In 2000, CGI's
India  operations  were assessed at CMM Level 4 and today,  CGI India achieved a
Level 5 rating for its ability to focus the entire  organization  on  continuous
process improvement.

Santosh Bhargava,  managing director, CGI's India operations said: "By achieving
a level 5 rating,  we are  confirming  our  commitment to provide  best-in-class
services to our  customers.  Adherence to the  processes  defined in our quality
management  system  has  become  second  nature to CGI's  professionals.  We are
pleased  that CGI's  capability  to provide  software  services  of the  highest
quality using software engineering  practices and advanced management techniques
has been recognized by the SEI."

Over 500 professionals work in CGI India's software  development centres. In the
technical  arena,  the experience of its offshore team ranges from mainframes to
e-business  and from  design  to  implementation  and  maintenance.  The  team's
business  expertise  spans several  industries,  including  insurance,  banking,
manufacturing,  retail and healthcare. The team has also leveraged its technical
and business expertise to establish centres of expertise in key areas, including
component-based  development,  insurance (life and P&C),  e-CRM,  e-business and
retail.


CGI's  delivery  centres  are linked by a global  communications  infrastructure
consisting of satellite  technology,  fibre optic  communication  networks using
multiple  telecommunication  service providers.  These networks permit real-time
links  between  onsite  and  offsite  project  teams  and also  ensure  business
continuity.

Satish Sanan,  president,  US and Asia Pacific,  for CGI added: "We are all very
proud of this  achievement  as only a handful  of  companies  in the world  have
earned  this top  quality  level  rating.  Our team  brings  with it  impressive
business and technical  qualifications.  Our offshore  services offer clients an
advantageous  way of  meeting  their IT  business  goals  with a  proven  global
delivery model."
