percentage to CGPA

How Pragati Engineering College (Autonomous), Surampalem converts percentage to CGPA

VERIFIED 2026-08-15 from the college's own R20 regulations, read in full; formula stated verbatim in §20 clause (vii). Corroborated independently by the R19 regulations, which carry the identical sentence. || DOUBLE-GENERATION CONFIRMATION IS VALUABLE HERE. Most rows in this batch rest on a single document. PEC's R19 and R20 agreeing on −0.75 means the constant is stable at this college across at least the 2019-2021 admission window, and the R16 class-band table (7.75/6.75/5.75/4.75, identical) suggests it reaches back further still. || USES THE −0.75 'AS PER AICTE REGULATIONS' TEMPLATE — the fourth instance in this batch after ANU R20 §12(vii), BVCEC BR20 §17(vii) and NEC R20. All four are R19/R20-era, and the clause number is (vii) in three of them. A tight, well-evidenced family. || CLASS BANDS MATCH NEC EXACTLY (7.75/6.75/5.75/4.75, Pass floor 4.75), and both are JNTUK-affiliated autonomous colleges on R20. Combined with PACE's 7.75/6.75/5.75/5.0 alongside its −0.75, the association between raised class bands and the −0.75 constant now holds in five of five cases in this batch. A heuristic, not a rule — but it has not yet failed. || THE REGULATION DEFERS TO JNTUK ON TWO POINTS: malpractice rules are 'as laid down in JNTUK R20 regulations... followed in toto', and student transfers follow 'the practice of JNTUK/State Government guidelines'. PEC exercises autonomy over grading while inheriting disciplinary procedure. || FILE-PATH TRAP: the R20 regulations sit under /uploads/2019/10/ despite governing 2020-21 admissions, and the 2017 regulations sit under /uploads/2023/05/. WordPress upload dates are not document dates — do not infer regulation vintage from the URL path on this site. || DOOR NUMBER CHANGED: the regulation title page and the UGC row both give 1-378 ADB Road; the college's current homepage and Career Development pages give 3-180 ADB Road. Both are recorded. || DISTRICT: the college's own contact page now says Kakinada District, confirming the East Godavari reorganisation. || AUTONOMY IS LONG-ESTABLISHED — R16 regulations exist, so autonomy dates to at least AY 2016-17, making PEC one of the more mature autonomous colleges in the batch. || NAAC GRADE UPGRADED: the R20 title page (2020) says 'A Grade'; the current homepage says A+. || SAME VILLAGE AS ACET: Surampalem hosts both Pragati Engineering College and Aditya College of Engineering and Technology. ACET remains robots-blocked in this registry. Do not conflate. || PLACEMENTS 1680 as at 25 June 2026, with a top package of 40 LPA.

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 — Pragati Engineering College (Autonomous), R20 Academic Regulations for B.Tech Four Year Degree Course, §20 Grading clause (vii): 'As per AICTE regulations, conversion of CGPA into equivalent percentage as follows: Equivalent Percentage = (CGPA – 0.75) x 10'. The identical clause appears in the college's R19 Academic Regulations.

Applies to: B.Tech (Regular, 160 credits) admitted from AY 2020-21 under R20, and B.Tech (Lateral Entry, 120 credits) from AY 2021-22. VERIFIED ACROSS TWO GENERATIONS — the same formula appears in PEC's R19 regulations, so R19 and R20 cohorts both use (CGPA − 0.75) × 10. Grade scale (10-point): A+ (Outstanding) = 10 (≥90), A (Excellent) = 9 (80-89), B (Very Good) = 8 (70-79), C (Good) = 7 (60-69), D (Fair) = 6 (50-59), E (Satisfactory) = 5 (40-49), F (Fail) = 0, Ab (Absent) = 0. Class is awarded on CGPA, not percentage, and PEC's Pass Class floor is unusually low: First Class with Distinction ≥ 7.75, First Class ≥ 6.75 < 7.75, Second Class ≥ 5.75 < 6.75, Pass Class ≥ 4.75 < 5.75. A student at CGPA 4.8 passes here but would fail at most AP autonomous colleges, which set the floor at 5.0. Zero grade points are included when computing SGPA and CGPA. NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH Aditya College of Engineering and Technology (ACET), which is also at Surampalem and is separately listed in this registry.
