How Gayatri Vidya Parishad College of Engineering for Women (Autonomous), Visakhapatnam converts percentage to CGPA

VERIFIED 2026-08-15 from the college's own regulations. Formula stated verbatim in R-24 §17. || FORMULA DIVERGES FROM SISTER COLLEGE — headline finding. GVPCEW = CGPA × 10; GVPCE = (CGPA − 0.5) × 10. Same parent society (Gayatri Vidya Parishad), same locality (Madhurawada, Visakhapatnam 530048), near-identical regulation drafting throughout — yet different constants. Corroborated structurally, not just by the one clause: GVPCEW uses an O/A+/A/B+/B/C/P scale with P = 4 and a 55/60 boundary, GVPCE uses A+/A/B/C/D/E with E = 5 and clean 10-mark bands; GVPCEW's class thresholds are 7.0/6.0/5.0 against GVPCE's 7.5/6.5/5.5. Two separate regimes, not a drafting slip. Live mis-assignment hazard of the mce2/mec2 kind — both entries carry cross-reference warnings. || INTERNAL CONSISTENCY IS WEAKER HERE THAN AT GVPCE: ×10 does not map grade points onto band midpoints (GP 10 → 100 against a >90–100 midpoint of 95; GP 4 → 40 against 44.5). Unlike GVPCE's 10·GP − 5, this is a declared administrative convention, not a derivation from its own grade table. The stated clause governs regardless, but the number cannot be sanity-checked against the scale. || AUTONOMY TIMELINE INDEPENDENTLY CONFIRMED by the college's own NAAC SSR of April 2022, which describes the institute as an affiliated (non-autonomous) college seeking autonomy. UGC granted it from 2024-25. First autonomous cohort graduates 2028. || AFFILIATION: R-24 title block states Andhra University, and its Transitory Regulations cl. vii covers students moving from 'earlier Regulations (under JNTU-K affiliation)' into 'R-24 Regulations (under AU affiliation)' — so the AU move appears concurrent with autonomy. Older college pages (NAAC, site header) still say JNTUK. R-24 taken as primary, being the newest document. Note this is the second AP college in this batch where the JNTUK/AU question is live (SRKR is the other, and there it is unresolved). || UGC lists GVPCEW under the Andhra University block, sl. 51, consistent with R-24. || CONTACT FIELDS sourced from the college's own NAAC page header, not an aggregator.

Source & verification

own — GVPCEW(A) Academic Rules and Regulations (R-24) for B.Tech. Programmes including Honors and Minors, §17 Award of Degree: 'CGPA to Percentage of Marks: Equivalent percentage of marks = CGPA*10'

Applies to: B.Tech (Regular and Lateral Entry) admitted from AY 2024-25 onward, under GVPCEW(A) R-24 regulations. DO NOT CONFUSE WITH GVPCE (slug gvpce), the co-educational Gayatri Vidya Parishad College of Engineering in the same locality under the same parent society. They are separate institutions with DIFFERENT formulas: GVPCEW uses CGPA × 10, GVPCE uses (CGPA − 0.5) × 10. At CGPA 8.0 that is 80% versus 75%. Check which college is named on your marksheet. AUTONOMY IS NEW: UGC granted autonomy from AY 2024-25, so R-24 is the first autonomous regulation and only the 2024-25 intake onward falls under it. No autonomous-pattern graduate exists until 2028. Students admitted before AY 2024-25 were NON-AUTONOMOUS and followed JNTU Kakinada's curriculum and rules in full — the college's NAAC Self-Study Report (submitted 21 April 2022) states the institute 'follows in totality the curriculum prescribed by the University', lists 'Academic flexibility in introduction of new courses is limited (Affiliated College)' as a weakness, and lists 'To attain academic flexibility by obtaining autonomous status' as an opportunity. For those earlier cohorts the operative conversion is therefore likely JNTUK's (CGPA − 0.75) × 10, NOT this formula — confirm before use. Grade scale (10-point, 8 letters): O = 10 (>90–100), A+ = 9 (>80–90), A = 8 (>70–80), B+ = 7 (>60–70), B = 6 (>55–60), C = 5 (≥50–55), P = 4 (≥40–<50, THEORY courses only), F = 0, Ab = 0. Note the unusual 55/60 split between B and B+, and that grade P is unavailable for practicals, drawing, Design Thinking, Skill Oriented Courses, internships and project — those pass at 50. A minimum SGPA of 5.0 is required to pass each semester. Class is awarded on CGPA, not percentage: First Class with Distinction ≥ 7.0 (within four years for regular / three for lateral entry, without any supplementary appearance in any semester), First Class ≥ 6.0 and < 7.0, Second Class / Pass ≥ 5.0 and < 6.0.
