CGPA to percentage

How Bonam Venkata Chalamayya Institute of Technology & Science (Autonomous), Amalapuram converts CGPA to percentage

VERIFIED 2026-08-15; formula stated verbatim in BR23 §19 directly beneath the Award of Class table. Read from the ECE departmental course-structure document, which reproduces the full BR23 regulations text; the standalone regulations PDF is listed at the same regulations page and is the canonical citation. || DIVERGES FROM SISTER COLLEGE — headline finding. BVCITS (Amalapuram) = −0.5; BVCEC (Odalarevu) = −0.75. Same parent (BVC Group, founder Sri Bonam Kanakayya), same 'BR' regulation prefix, same affiliating university, same web developer — yet different constants. This is the third such intra-group divergence in the batch after GVPCE/GVPCEW and the Aditya cluster. Never inherit within a group. || IMPORTANT ALTERNATIVE EXPLANATION — REGULATION GENERATION, NOT INSTITUTION: the two verified documents are from different generations (BVCEC BR20 versus BVCITS BR23), and their clause WORDING differs along the same line as the constant. BVCEC BR20 reads 'As per AICTE regulations, conversion of CGPA into equivalent percentage is as follows: Equivalent Percentage = (CGPA - 0.75) x 10' — matching ANU R20. BVCITS BR23 reads 'CGPA to Percentage conversion Formula – (CGPA – 0.5) x 10' — matching SRKR R23, AEC AR23 and AMR-24 exactly. So the group may simply have moved from a −0.75 template to a −0.5 template at the BR23 revision, rather than the two colleges genuinely differing today. BVCEC's BR23 is published only as a scanned image and could not be read, so this cannot be resolved yet. RESOLVING IT MATTERS: if the R20→R23 template shift is real, it predicts constants for many of the remaining colleges. || PINCODE CONFLICT: the UGC list gives 533221; the college's own BR23 title page gives 'Batlapalem, Amalapuram, Indupalli Post, E. G. Dist, A.P, India – 533 201'. Aggregators use 533221. The college's own document is preferred here but the conflict is unresolved — 533221 is the Amalapuram town PIN and 533201 may be the Batlapalem/Indupalli sub-office. || ESTABLISHMENT: the college states 'since 2002'; the BVC Group dates from 1997 (BVCEC). Aggregators conflate the two.

Source & verification

own — BVCITS Academic Regulations (BR23) for B.Tech (Regular-Full time), effective for students admitted into I year from AY 2023-24, §19 Grading / Award of Class: 'CGPA to Percentage conversion Formula – (CGPA – 0.5) x 10'

DIFFERENT FROM ITS SISTER COLLEGE: BVCITS Amalapuram uses (CGPA − 0.5) × 10, while BVC Engineering College (BVCEC) Odalarevu uses (CGPA − 0.75) × 10 under its BR20 regulations. Both are in the BVC Group, both use 'BR' regulation codes, and both are JNTUK-affiliated autonomous colleges — but the constants differ. At CGPA 8.0 that is 75% here versus 72.5% at BVCEC. Confirm which college is named on your marksheet. Applies to: B.Tech (Regular, 160 credits) admitted from AY 2023-24 and B.Tech (Lateral Entry, 120 credits) admitted from AY 2024-25, under BR23. Grade scale: S = 10 (≥90), A = 9 (80-89), B = 8 (70-79), C = 7 (60-69), D = 6 (50-59), E = 5 (40-49), F = 0, Ab = 0. Class is awarded on CGPA, not percentage: First Class with Distinction ≥ 7.5, First Class ≥ 6.5 < 7.5, Second Class ≥ 5.5 < 6.5, Pass Class ≥ 5.0 < 5.5. Non-credit audit courses are marked Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory and excluded from SGPA/CGPA; no class or division is awarded for the Honors programme. COHORT LIMIT: this is verified for BR23 only. Students admitted before AY 2023-24 fall under earlier regulations (the college's own R20-era rules, or JNTUK regulations) which have NOT been read — check the regulation code on your hall ticket. The college runs parallel Autonomous and JNTUK examination sections with separate regulation pages for each.
