How Annamacharya Institute of Technology and Sciences (Autonomous), Tirupati converts CGPA to percentage

VERIFIED 2026-08-15 from the college's own AK23 regulations, read in full; formula stated at §19. || ⚠️ THIS IS A DIFFERENT COLLEGE FROM AITS RAJAMPET AND THE TWO ARE GOVERNED SEPARATELY, DESPITE SHARING A NAME AND A TRUST. The prefixes differ — TIRUPATI USES 'AK' (AK20, AK23), RAJAMPET USES A BARE 'R' (R19, R20, R23) — and the documents are structurally unrelated: Tirupati's AK23 is the JNTUK-lineage APSCHE template with 27 sections, 90-day semesters and a 60+140 project split, while Rajampet's R20 is independently drafted with 21 sections, 16-week semesters, a 50+150 project split, 20-credit Honors at 8.0 SGPA and a challenge-valuation scheme. THEY HAPPEN TO SHARE THE −0.5 CONSTANT, but that is convergence, not inheritance — and it must not be assumed for the group's other campuses at Kadapa and Hyderabad. || THIRD JNTUA COLLEGE IN THREE ROWS, ALL AT −0.5, ARRIVED AT BY THREE DIFFERENT ROUTES: Aditya Madanapalle adopted the template with heavy localisation; AITS Rajampet drafted independently from the APSCHE model; AITS Tirupati adopted the template with light localisation. JNTUA's own formula is CGPA × 9.5. The pattern established at Aditya Madanapalle now has three independent confirmations: in Andhra Pradesh, an autonomous college's constant is not predicted by its affiliating university. || THE 'MP (MALPRACTICE)' GRADE IS UNIQUE IN THIS SWEEP. AK23's grading table lists MP alongside F and Ab, all at zero grade points — the only regulation encountered that formalises malpractice as a grade on the transcript scale rather than handling it solely through disciplinary appendices. || THE DOCUMENT IS BADLY ASSEMBLED, WITH TEXT DISPLACED ACROSS PAGE BREAKS. Clause 8(xv) is empty — its content, 'Undergraduate degree with Honors is introduced by the institution for the students having good academic record', appears stranded at the foot of §9 on the previous page. Section 12 (Credit Transfer Policy) is printed in the MIDDLE OF §10, between clauses (vi) and (vii), so the numbering runs 10(i-vi), 12, 10(vii), 11, then 12's actual content again under §11's tail. Two credit-transfer clauses are annotated '(from AK20)' — editing marks left in the published document. The MOOC cap is stated twice with DIFFERENT FIGURES: §12 says 20% and a maximum of 32 credits, while §11 says 'up to 40% of the total courses'. If a student's credit transfer is disputed, this contradiction is live. || LOCALISATION IS INCOMPLETE AND INCONSISTENT. Most clauses read 'the institution' or 'the College', but §10(vi) still requires the principal to 'forward such proposals to the University for approval', §18(i) refers to 'university norms', §12 says 'the University shall allow', and §22 has Gap Year proposals evaluated by 'a committee constituted by the University'. Final authority is split between 'the Principal' (§27 iv) and 'the HOI' (§27 vi) in adjacent clauses. || ONE GENUINE INSTITUTIONAL EDIT: for a two-part practical (e.g. Basic Electrical & Electronics Engineering Lab), AK23 specifies that questions may be drawn from both parts but a candidate is examined in either the Electrical or the Electronics part according to the experiment allotted — a clarification absent from every other copy of this template. || FOUNDED 2007 by the Annamacharya Educational Trust, on a campus of more than 45 acres at Venkatapuram, Karakambadi Post, Renigunta Mandal — LARGER THAN THE RAJAMPET PARENT CAMPUS (30 acres). NAAC 'A'; ALL FIVE ELIGIBLE UG ENGINEERING PROGRAMMES NBA-ACCREDITED, with ME and EEE at NBA Tier-I to June 2027; accredited by the Institution of Engineers (India); UGC 2(f) and 12(B). Ranked 178 by The Week and 230 by India Today in 2024; NIRF 2024 median salary ₹3.90 lakh. || BRANCH COUNT IS DISPUTED: the college and collegechalo say 5 B.Tech programmes; zollege says 11 specialisations with a sanctioned intake of 1,500. The five NBA-accredited programmes are the core; newer CSE splits likely account for the rest. Also 8 M.Tech programmes, MBA and MCA. || ⚠️ ZOLLEGE REFERS TO THE FEE STRUCTURE AS 'ANNAMACHARYA UNIVERSITY TIRUPATI' MID-ARTICLE while titling the page AITS Tirupati. Combined with the annamacharyauniversity.edu.in finding at the Rajampet row, this strengthens the case that the trust is converting one or more campuses to university status. The college's own site still presents as an autonomous JNTUA-affiliated institution. RESOLVE BEFORE PUBLISHING — if AITS Tirupati becomes a university constituent, new intakes will move off AK23. || PIN CONFLICT: the Mandatory Disclosure gives Venkatapuram Village, Karakambadi Post, Renigunta Mandal, TIRUPATI-517520. The UGC row gives no PIN. Use 517520.
