How D.N.R. College of Engineering & Technology (Autonomous), Bhimavaram converts percentage to CGPA

VERIFIED 2026-08-15 from the college's own DR24 regulations; formula stated verbatim in §20 immediately below the Award of Class table. || INTERNAL CONSISTENCY PASSES: (CGPA − 0.5) × 10 reduces to 10·GP − 5, mapping grade points onto mark-band midpoints (GP 10 → 95 against a ≥90 band; GP 9 → 85 against 84.5; GP 5 → 45 against 44.5). || FOURTH COLLEGE IN THIS BATCH WITH IDENTICAL CLAUSE WORDING — SRKR R23 §22, AEC AR23 §16, AMR-24 §19, BVCITS BR23 §19 and now DNRCET DR24 §20 all carry the sentence 'CGPA to Percentage conversion Formula – (CGPA – 0.5) x 10' with an identical S/A/B/C/D/E grade table and identical 7.5/6.5/5.5/5.0 class bands. The shared drafting template among JNTUK-affiliated autonomous colleges is now very well evidenced. || SUPPORTS THE GENERATION HYPOTHESIS: DR24 is a 2024-generation regulation and uses the −0.5 template, consistent with the theory that AP autonomous colleges moved from a −0.75 clause ('As per AICTE regulations...', seen in ANU R20 and BVCEC BR20) to the −0.5 clause at around the R22/R23 revision. Every regulation read in this batch dated 2022 or later uses −0.5; both −0.75 instances are R20-era. Still a hypothesis, not a rule — RVRJC R20 uses −0.5 with different wording again. || REGULATION PREFIX 'DR' is distinctive and useful for disambiguation: DR24 identifies this college specifically, against BR (BVC group), AR (Aditya Engineering / ALIET), ACETR (ACET), AMR (A.M. Reddy), VR (BVCR). || INSTITUTIONAL HISTORY: the parent D.N.R. College was founded in 1945 as West Godavari Bhimavaram (W.G.B.) College by Sri Dantuluri Narayana Raju, a freedom fighter, and renamed in 1964; the engineering college was established under that association in 2010. || NAAC GRADE CONFLICT: the DR24 letterhead states 'Accredited with A++ Grade by NAAC'; careers360 says B++. The college's own regulation document is preferred. || PINCODE: 534202. The UGC row for this college gives no PIN; the regulations title page gives 534 202 consistently.

Worked example

Take a percentage of 75%. Reversing the official D.N.R. College of Engineering & Technology (Autonomous), Bhimavaram formula % = (CGPA − 0.5) × 10 gives a CGPA of about 8.0. Change the percentage above and the CGPA updates instantly.

Which figure is authoritative?

A percentage printed on your transcript is the official figure. This reverses the college's own conversion, so the CGPA shown is an estimate — useful for checking a number, not for quoting as an official grade.

Source & verification

own — D.N.R. College of Engineering & Technology (Autonomous), Academic Regulations (DR24) for B.Tech (Regular-Full time), §20 Grading / Award of Class: 'CGPA to Percentage conversion Formula – (CGPA – 0.5) x 10'

Applies to: B.Tech (Regular, 160 credits) admitted from AY 2024-25 onward and B.Tech (Lateral Entry, 120 credits) admitted from AY 2025-26 onward, under DR24. Grade scale (10-point absolute): S (Superior) = 10 (≥90), A (Excellent) = 9 (80-89), B (Very Good) = 8 (70-79), C (Good) = 7 (60-69), D (Average) = 6 (50-59), E (Pass) = 5 (40-49), F (Fail) = 0, Ab (Absent) = 0. Class is awarded on CGPA, not percentage: First Class with Distinction ≥ 7.5, First Class ≥ 6.5 < 7.5, Second Class ≥ 5.5 < 6.5, Pass Class ≥ 5.0 < 5.5. Non-credit audit courses are marked Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory and excluded from SGPA/CGPA/percentage; no class or division is awarded for the Honors programme. COHORT LIMIT: verified for DR24 only. Students admitted before AY 2024-25 fall under earlier regulations — either the college's own pre-DR24 series or JNTU Kakinada's R16/R19/R20 — which have NOT been read. Check the regulation code on your hall ticket. NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH other Bhimavaram engineering colleges in this registry: SRKR Engineering College (China Amiram, formula also (CGPA − 0.5) × 10 but a different institution) and Bhimavaram Institute of Engineering & Technology (Pennada, no formula published). Also distinct from D.N.R. College (the arts and science college founded 1945 under the same parent association) — this entry covers the engineering college founded 2010.
