False
A Hermitian matrix is a square matrix with complex entries that is equal to its own conjugate Transpose.We know that if we take an element aij from a square matrix. The corresponding element in its transpose will be aji. If we take both transpose and conjugate the corresponding element becomes ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯aji . So by definition we can need, ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯aji=aij for matrix to be Hermitian matrix.
