Source & verification

own — GVPCE(A) Academic Regulations (R-22) for B.Tech. Programmes including Honors and Minors, §17 Award of Degree: 'CGPA to Percentage of Marks: Equivalent percentage of marks = (CGPA-0.5)*10'. Revised per 21st Academic Council meeting, 28.10.2023.

Applies to: B.Tech (Regular and Lateral Entry) admitted from AY 2022-23 onward, under GVPCE(A) R-22 regulations. GVPCE has held UGC autonomy since 2009, so it sets its own conversion — do NOT inherit the affiliating university's formula in either direction. AFFILIATION CHANGED AT THE SAME BOUNDARY: the college is affiliated to Andhra University from AY 2022-23, and was affiliated to JNTU Kakinada up to AY 2021-22 (stated on the college's own site header, and corroborated by R-22 Transitory Regulations cl. 7, which covers students 'detained in earlier Regulations (under JNTU-K affiliation)' being readmitted 'into R-22 Regulations (under AU affiliation)'). Because the college was already autonomous throughout, pre-2022-23 cohorts followed GVPCE's OWN earlier regulations, not JNTUK's — so JNTUK's (CGPA − 0.75) × 10 must NOT be applied to them. Those earlier GVPCE regulations are unread and their conversion clause is unverified; the 2011-12 edition ran on 224 credits against R-22's 160, a structurally different regime. If your marksheet predates 2022-23, confirm with the Controller of Examinations (coe@gvpce.ac.in) before relying on this figure. Grade scale: A+ = 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 — note grade E is available for THEORY courses only; practicals, drawing, Design Thinking, Skill Oriented Courses, internships and project all pass at 50. Class is awarded on CGPA, not percentage: First Class with Distinction ≥ 7.5 (within four years for regular / three for lateral entry, without any supplementary appearance), First Class ≥ 6.5, Second Class ≥ 5.5 and < 6.5, Pass Class ≥ 5.0 and < 5.5. Students who re-register for courses after VIII semester are capped at Pass / Second Class / First Class and cannot receive Distinction.
