Source & verification

Cochin University of Science and Technology — Notification dated 06-09-2019 (Academic Council 11-04-2019; Syndicate 20-07-2019), Revised Regulations & Scheme of Examinations for B.Tech programmes (2019 admissions), clause I.10.6: 'Percentage marks = (CGPA − 0.5) × 10'

CUSAT's revised B.Tech regulations (2019 admissions) convert CGPA to percentage with a −0.5 offset: Percentage marks = (CGPA − 0.5) × 10, NOT a flat ×10 (clause I.10.6). So a CGPA of 8.0 is 75%, not 80% — assuming plain ×10 overstates the percentage by 5 points. This is consistent with CUSAT's CGPA-based classification (≥ 8 First Class with Distinction, 6.5–8 First Class, 6–6.5 Second Class). The formula is stated in the School of Engineering B.Tech regulation; CUSAT's other faculties/programmes may use different rules.
