Maharaja Sriram Chandra Bhanja Deo University — 'Model Regulation for Under Graduate Programme for +3 (B.A/B.Com/B.Sc) (As per CBCS System) From the Session 2019-20, Universities/Autonomous/Degree colleges of Odisha', cl. 9.5 'Formula for Equivalent Percentage of Marks: The following formula will be used to obtain the equivalent percentage of marks for the CGPA awarded to the students of the University. Case a. Equivalent Percentage of Mark = (CGPA – 0.50) × 10 ; for 4<CGPA≤10. Case b. Equivalent Percentage of Mark = CGPA × 10 for CGPA≤4'; cl. 9.4 'The details of grading system shall be printed on the backside of University Mark-sheet.'

EXPLICIT official rule (text-searchable PDF, p. 6). The rule is the State model regulation for Odisha +3 CBCS degrees, read on the University's own posted copy. SCOPE: UG B.A./B.Sc./B.Com. (Honours) under the CBCS regulation from 2019-20; the NEP-2020 UG programmes (2024-25 onwards) were not found with a conversion clause on the site. CAVEAT: the two cases do not meet at CGPA 4 (Case b gives 40% at CGPA 4, Case a gives 35% just above 4), so the reverse is ambiguous between 35% and 40%.
