Pragati University, Surampalem — Regulations for Under-Graduate Engineering Programme (B.Tech) R-26, for students admitted into I year from 2026-27 (lateral entry from 2027-28), Award of Class: 'CGPA to Percentage Conversion Formula: (CGPA – 0.5) x 10' (First Class with Distinction ≥ 8.0 without backlog history; First Class ≥ 6.5 to < 8.0; Second ≥ 5.5 to < 6.5; Pass ≥ 5.0 to < 5.5).
The university's OWN formula (CGPA − 0.5) × 10 differs from the old college's (CGPA − 0.75) × 10 — do not merge the entries. The PDF filename and its course-structure annex say 'DRAFT' (dated 01-10-2026), although the regulation text itself says 'Effective for the students admitted into I year from the Academic Year 2026-27'; re-check later for a final version. The R26 document does not say anything about earlier Pragati Engineering College batches; the college's academic-regulations page still lists only R23/R20/R19/R16 college regulations, so earlier students presumably remain under the college entry (not stated officially). Grade points in R26: S10 A9 B8 C7 D6 E5, U=3(!), Ab=0. Classes: Distinction ≥8.0 (no backlog), First ≥6.5, Second ≥5.5, Pass ≥5.0. No worked example in the document (example computed). Address PIN: website gives 533437; the regulation cover gives 533003.
