Source & verification
INHERITED from Assam Science and Technology University (registry key astu): Notification No. ASTU/Academic/2018/404 dated 22 March 2022 (copied to all Principals of affiliated colleges): 'the formula for CGPA to percentage conversion for all approved programs under the University is as follows: Percentage (%) = CGPAx10'. Same rule in ASTU's B.Tech Regulation w.e.f. 2017-18, cl. 8.3(iv).
JIST confirms on its own site: 'The Institute is affiliated under Assam Science and Technology University (ASTU), Guwahati, Assam' (UGC/AICTE page) and the principal page says it is 'presently affiliated to the Assam Science and Technology University'. Before ASTU (until the 2017-18/2018-19 session) its B.Sc and B.E. programmes were under Dibrugarh University - so old DU-era graduates must use the Dibrugarh rule, not ASTU's. Not autonomous: the principal page only calls JIST 'a strong candidate for autonomy under NEP 2020'. JIST publishes no rule of its own; its notifications page reposts ASTU's 'Formula for Conversion of CGPA into Equivalent Percentage under ASTU' (dated 22-01-2023 on JIST's list).
