CGPA to percentage

How Geethanjali Institute of Science & Technology (Autonomous), Gangavaram, Kovur, Nellore converts CGPA to percentage

VERIFIED 2026-08-15 from the college's own RG23 regulations, read in full; formula stated at §19. || EIGHTH JNTUA-TERRITORY COLLEGE VERIFIED AT −0.5, and it confirms the drafting-route rule across this region. GIST's RG23 is a STRAIGHTFORWARD APSCHE-TEMPLATE ADOPTION — 27 sections in the standard order, the standard 13/20/23.5/54.5/33/16 credit breakup, 30+70 evaluation, 10+15+5 internal split, five skill courses in semesters III-VII, and the template's §19 conversion clause intact. THE PATTERN NOW HOLDS ACROSS ELEVEN JNTUA COLLEGES: every template adopter states −0.5 (Aditya Madanapalle, AITS Rajampet, AITS Tirupati, AITS Kadapa, ALITS, Ashoka, GIST), while every independent drafter omits the clause entirely (ASCET across three documents, GPREC, and JNTUA's own R19). The dividing line is the drafting route, not the university. || THE 'RG' PREFIX IS DISTINCTIVE — RG22, RG23. No other college in this sweep uses it. A grade card marked RG23 is GIST Nellore. || LOCALISATION IS MINIMAL: 'the University' governs MOOCs approval (§11), credit transfer (§12), ABC (§13), skill-course conversions (§10 vi-vii), condonation fees (§17 iii), internship re-examinations and project vivas (§14), and §27 twice makes 'the decision of the Vice-Chancellor final'. Only the letterhead and the RG prefix are institutional. || SECTION NUMBERING COLLAPSES AT THE END, as in several other template copies: §23 'Transitory Regulations' is followed by bare numbers 24, 25 and 26 whose headings have become detached, so Transitory, Instruction Days and Medium of Instruction appear out of order after §27's opening clauses. || ⚠️ NAME COLLISION WITH A TELANGANA INSTITUTION. GEETHANJALI COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY (GCET), Cheeryal, Keesara, Medchal District, TELANGANA — affiliated to JNTUH, NAAC 'A+', regulations coded AR22 — is a separate and unrelated college whose documents surface prominently in searches for 'Geethanjali regulations'. THIS ENTRY IS GIST NELLORE: Andhra Pradesh, JNTUA, RG-prefixed. Check the state and the prefix. Note also that the college is sometimes rendered 'Gitanjali' in directory queries. || FOUNDED 2008 by the USHODAYA EDUCATIONAL SOCIETY. Principal Dr. K. Sundeep Kumar. 13-acre campus at Gangavaram on the Nellore–Bombay highway, 6.3 km from Nellore railway station, 7.2 km from the bus station, 132.5 km from Tirupati International Airport. || NAAC 'A' with CGPA 3.05/4, awarded February 2021, VALID ONLY TO 14 FEBRUARY 2026 — expired at the time of this research; a renewal cycle is presumably in progress. NBA accredited for B.Tech ECE, EEE and Mechanical (2021-24). ISO 9001:2015 (careers360 says 9001:2008 — the regulation letterhead says 2015, use that). UGC 2(f) and 12(B). || ENROLMENT FIGURES HAVE GROWN AND SOURCES DIFFER BY VINTAGE: careers360's NIRF 2025 data gives 2,656 students and 112 faculty; a 2020 careers360 answer gives 2,063 students and 123 faculty. Use the NIRF figures. Gender split 49% male / 51% female; only 1% of students from outside the state. Total sanctioned seats 1,080 for B.Tech plus 120 for diploma per targetadmission. || NINE B.TECH DISCIPLINES including CSE, CSE-AI&ML, CSE-Cyber Security, CSE-Data Science, ECE, EEE, Mechanical and Civil; plus M.Tech and five diploma streams (diploma from 2014). || PLACEMENTS 2023-24: highest approximately ₹7-8 LPA, median ₹4.5 LPA, average ₹4 LPA. Recruiters include Accenture, TCS Digital, TCS Ninja, Hyundai Motors and MCore. Careers360 notes EEE achieved the highest package at ₹6 lakh while Civil had the lowest average at ₹1.68 lakh — an unusually wide branch spread.
