Source & verification

Bangalore University — Regulations Governing the Choice Based Credit System 2021 (Semester System) for the Four-Year Undergraduate B.Tech Programme under NEP-2020 (administered at University Visvesvaraya College of Engineering), Table 13 'Award of Class' note: '% Marks Scored = [CGPA − 0.75] × 10'; the table maps GPA bands to percentage bands

Bangalore University's CBCS-2021 B.Tech regulation states the conversion as % Marks Scored = (CGPA − 0.75) × 10 (CGPA 8.5 → 77.5%). It is corroborated by the regulation's Award-of-Class table, which lists matching GPA and percentage thresholds: Second Class at CGPA 5.75 (= 50%), First Class at 6.75 (= 60%), and First Class with Distinction at 7.75 (= 70%). (The Pass Class GPA floor is 5.00 because that is the minimum passing SGPA, while its percentage floor is the conventional 40%.) This is the same −0.75 offset family as VTU and JNTU Kakinada; note it is NOT a plain ×10 — using ×10 overstates the percentage by 7.5 points.
