CGPA to percentage

How D.N.R. College of Engineering & Technology (Autonomous), Bhimavaram converts CGPA to percentage

VERIFIED 2026-08-15 from the college's own DR24 regulations; formula stated verbatim in §20 immediately below the Award of Class table. || INTERNAL CONSISTENCY PASSES: (CGPA − 0.5) × 10 reduces to 10·GP − 5, mapping grade points onto mark-band midpoints (GP 10 → 95 against a ≥90 band; GP 9 → 85 against 84.5; GP 5 → 45 against 44.5). || FOURTH COLLEGE IN THIS BATCH WITH IDENTICAL CLAUSE WORDING — SRKR R23 §22, AEC AR23 §16, AMR-24 §19, BVCITS BR23 §19 and now DNRCET DR24 §20 all carry the sentence 'CGPA to Percentage conversion Formula – (CGPA – 0.5) x 10' with an identical S/A/B/C/D/E grade table and identical 7.5/6.5/5.5/5.0 class bands. The shared drafting template among JNTUK-affiliated autonomous colleges is now very well evidenced. || SUPPORTS THE GENERATION HYPOTHESIS: DR24 is a 2024-generation regulation and uses the −0.5 template, consistent with the theory that AP autonomous colleges moved from a −0.75 clause ('As per AICTE regulations...', seen in ANU R20 and BVCEC BR20) to the −0.5 clause at around the R22/R23 revision. Every regulation read in this batch dated 2022 or later uses −0.5; both −0.75 instances are R20-era. Still a hypothesis, not a rule — RVRJC R20 uses −0.5 with different wording again. || REGULATION PREFIX 'DR' is distinctive and useful for disambiguation: DR24 identifies this college specifically, against BR (BVC group), AR (Aditya Engineering / ALIET), ACETR (ACET), AMR (A.M. Reddy), VR (BVCR). || INSTITUTIONAL HISTORY: the parent D.N.R. College was founded in 1945 as West Godavari Bhimavaram (W.G.B.) College by Sri Dantuluri Narayana Raju, a freedom fighter, and renamed in 1964; the engineering college was established under that association in 2010. || NAAC GRADE CONFLICT: the DR24 letterhead states 'Accredited with A++ Grade by NAAC'; careers360 says B++. The college's own regulation document is preferred. || PINCODE: 534202. The UGC row for this college gives no PIN; the regulations title page gives 534 202 consistently.

Worked example

Take a CGPA of 8.0 on the 10-point scale. Applying the official D.N.R. College of Engineering & Technology (Autonomous), Bhimavaram formula % = (CGPA − 0.5) × 10 gives a percentage of about 75%. Change the CGPA in the calculator above and the percentage updates instantly using this same formula.

Why the formula matters

Using the official conversion keeps your percentage defensible if an admissions office or employer asks how you calculated it.

Source & verification

own — D.N.R. College of Engineering & Technology (Autonomous), Academic Regulations (DR24) for B.Tech (Regular-Full time), §20 Grading / Award of Class: 'CGPA to Percentage conversion Formula – (CGPA – 0.5) x 10'

Applies to: B.Tech (Regular, 160 credits) admitted from AY 2024-25 onward and B.Tech (Lateral Entry, 120 credits) admitted from AY 2025-26 onward, under DR24. Grade scale (10-point absolute): S (Superior) = 10 (≥90), A (Excellent) = 9 (80-89), B (Very Good) = 8 (70-79), C (Good) = 7 (60-69), D (Average) = 6 (50-59), E (Pass) = 5 (40-49), F (Fail) = 0, Ab (Absent) = 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/percentage; no class or division is awarded for the Honors programme. COHORT LIMIT: verified for DR24 only. Students admitted before AY 2024-25 fall under earlier regulations — either the college's own pre-DR24 series or JNTU Kakinada's R16/R19/R20 — which have NOT been read. Check the regulation code on your hall ticket. NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH other Bhimavaram engineering colleges in this registry: SRKR Engineering College (China Amiram, formula also (CGPA − 0.5) × 10 but a different institution) and Bhimavaram Institute of Engineering & Technology (Pennada, no formula published). Also distinct from D.N.R. College (the arts and science college founded 1945 under the same parent association) — this entry covers the engineering college founded 2010.
