How Ashoka Women's Engineering College (Autonomous), Dupadu, Kurnool converts percentage to CGPA

VERIFIED 2026-08-15 from the college's own R23 regulations, read in full; formula stated at §19. || SEVENTH JNTUA-TERRITORY COLLEGE, SEVENTH −0.5. Aditya Madanapalle, AITS Rajampet, AITS Tirupati, AITS Kadapa, ALITS (across three programmes) and now Ashoka — every autonomous college verified in JNTUA territory uses (CGPA − 0.5) × 10, against a university whose own formula is CGPA × 9.5. This is now the most consistent regional pattern in the registry. It remains a prior rather than a rule — twelve colleges elsewhere in AP use −0.75 — but for JNTUA the evidence is unusually uniform. || THE DOCUMENT IS AN UNUSUALLY UNMODIFIED TEMPLATE ADOPTION, comparable to AITS Kadapa's. Every authority clause is left with the University: MOOCs 'approved by the University' (§11), credit transfer administered by 'the University' throughout §12, ABC 'implemented by the University' (§13), skill-course conversions 'approved by the University' with the principal forwarding proposals 'to the University' (§10 vi-vii), condonation fees 'payable to the University' (§17 iii), summer-internship re-examinations 'conducted by the University' and project vivas with an external examiner 'appointed by the University' (§14), results withheld for dues owed 'to the university' (§20), Gap Year proposals evaluated by 'a committee constituted by the University' (§22), and §31 twice making 'the decision of the VICE-CHANCELLOR final'. Even §8(xv) says Honors 'is introduced by the University'. The only localisation is the letterhead. || SECTION NUMBERING COLLAPSES BADLY IN THE FINAL PAGES. From §23 onward the document numbers ordinary paragraphs as sections: §23 'Transitory Regulations' is followed by §24 and §25, which are simply its two body paragraphs; §26 'Minimum Instruction Days' is followed by §27, its single sentence; §28 'Medium of Instruction' by §29, likewise. The regulation therefore ends at §31 where a correctly numbered copy would end near §27. Anyone citing a section number above 22 from this document should quote the heading text as well. || TWO CAMPUSES — AND THIS MATTERS FOR ADDRESS VERIFICATION. The college's own Mandatory Disclosure states that 'both main campus (Dupadu) and off campus (Chinnatekuru) are approved by AICTE'. The regulation is issued from the Dupadu campus, NH-44, Kurnool 518218. Directories give the address inconsistently: collegedunia and shiksha say 'Opp. Dupadu Railway Station, NH-44, Lakshmipuram'; yuvamind says 'G Pulla Reddy Nagar, Nandyal Road, Kurnool' — a different location entirely, likely the off campus or an error. dial4college says 'about 10 to 15 acres'; the college says 10.6 acres. Use the regulation's own address. || ⚠️ A DIRECTORY CROSS-CONTAMINATION TO WATCH: shiksha's course page for this college displays the address and contact block of DR. K.V. SUBBA REDDY COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING FOR WOMEN, a different Kurnool women's college also located opposite Dupadu Railway Station on the same highway. The two are neighbours and are being conflated. Check the college name on the certificate, not the address. || AUTONOMY IS WELL DOCUMENTED: the regulation letterhead reads '(Autonomous), Accredited by NAAC - A+, Recognized by UGC under section 2(f) of UGC Act 1956, Approved by AICTE & Affiliated to JNTUA', and the college's Mandatory Disclosure states it 'has been granted Autonomous Status under the University Grants Commission (UGC)'. R23 dates the grant to 2023-24. Careers360 and collegedunia both describe it as autonomous — no dispute here, unlike ALITS. || FOUNDED 2008 by the ASHOKA EDUCATIONAL SOCIETY. NAAC 'A+' — among the higher grades in this batch and notably better than neighbouring ALITS's 'B'. NBA accredited for several UG programmes. Ranked FIFTH among AP engineering colleges by IIRF in 2026. Director Dr. Haris Krishna. || SECURITY PROVISIONS ARE PROMINENT IN THE COLLEGE'S OWN MATERIAL and unusual enough to note for a women's college: ex-army security personnel, 24/7 CCTV, a high boundary wall with cat-wire fencing, women hostel wardens and a real-time student tracking mechanism. || PLACEMENTS ARE STRONG FOR THE REGION: 706 students placed in 2025 with an average of ₹5.12 LPA; 255 placed so far in the partially released 2026 cycle with a high of ₹16.43 LPA. Recruiters include HSBC, Siemens, Renault-Nissan, Capgemini, TCS, Wipro, Accenture, Deloitte, Infosys, KPMG. || BRANCHES: B.Tech in Civil, CSE, CSE-AI, EEE and ECE, plus M.Tech, MBA and MCA. Yuvamind also lists a Ph.D. programme; unconfirmed elsewhere. || FEE ₹42,000-43,000 first year, ₹1.72 lakh total for B.Tech.
