Source & verification
Anna University, Chennai — 30th Academic Council amendment to Regulations 2021, dated 16.10.2023: Percentage of Marks = CGPA × 10 (applies to all affiliated non-autonomous institutions)
Non-autonomous and affiliated to Anna University, Chennai, so it does not issue its own conversion formula. Anna University's 30th Academic Council amendment to Regulations 2021 (dated 16.10.2023) sets Percentage of Marks = CGPA × 10 for affiliated institutions, and that is the formula that applies here. Percentage on the consolidated grade sheet is therefore ten times the CGPA, with no subtraction or scaling. SCOPE LIMIT: the Anna University conversion applies to CIPET's B.E./B.Tech programmes only. CIPET's M.Sc. programmes are affiliated to the University of Madras and its diploma/post-diploma programmes run under CIPET's own admission system — neither is covered by this formula.
