How R.G.M. College of Engineering & Technology (Autonomous), Nandyal converts percentage to CGPA

VERIFIED 2026-08-15 from the college's own RGM-R-2020 regulations, read in full; formula at §14.0. || ⚠️ THE 150-CREDIT CGPA BASE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FACT ON THIS PAGE AND HAS NO PARALLEL IN THIS REGISTRY. Every other college computes CGPA across the full degree load. RGMCET excludes Skill Development and Value Added courses from the CGPA base while still counting them for the degree. Any calculator recomputing CGPA from a full transcript will disagree with the official figure. || AUTONOMOUS SINCE 2010 — among the longest-running in this batch alongside GPREC (2006). Founded 1995, inaugurated 9 March 1996 by former Prime Minister P.V. Narasimha Rao and then Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu. Chairman 'Vidyarathna' DR. M. SANTHIRAMUDU; motto 'EDUCATION FOR PEACE'. 32.04-acre campus on NH-40 (old NH-18). || ACCREDITATION IS THE STRONGEST IN THIS BATCH: NAAC 'A+' at CGPA 3.54/4 third cycle; NBA TIER-I SIX TIMES for all eligible UG courses; UGC 'College with Potential for Excellence' (2016); TCS-accredited for placements; DSIR recognition for excise-duty exemption on research equipment. NIRF band 201-300 (2024, 2025). ⚠️ Careers360 says NAAC 'A' where the college and other sources say 'A+' — prefer A+. || INDEPENDENTLY DRAFTED, NOT THE APSCHE TEMPLATE, and the ELEVENTH JNTUA-territory college in this sweep. Together with NBKRIST and NECG it confirms that independent drafting does NOT predict absence of a conversion clause. || DISTINCTIVE PROVISIONS: THREE MANDATORY INTERNSHIPS — two months after second year, two months after third year, and A FULL SIX-MONTH INTERNSHIP IN SEMESTER VIII carrying 5-6 credits, the longest internship requirement in this registry; internal marks 20 test + 10 assignment weighted 0.75/0.25 to the better test, where most use 0.8/0.2; ONE OF THE TWO INTERNAL TESTS CONDUCTED ONLINE; Comprehensive Viva-Voce for 50 marks in semester VII; promotion gates at 50% of credits (41/82 and 62.5/125) rather than the usual 40%; 95 CLEAR INSTRUCTION DAYS per semester against the 90-day norm; and REVALUATION AWARDING THE MAXIMUM of revalued and original grade, once per subject. || MOOCs capped at 5% of degree credits; a professional elective in 4-1 and an open elective in 3-1 must be taken through MOOCs. Honors and Minor each require 20 additional credits, gated at SGPA 8.0 to end of second semester. || RGMCET RUNS A COMMUNITY RADIO STATION, RGM FM 88.4, inaugurated 23 April 2026, and has an MoU with the Microsoft AI Innovators Hub, Hyderabad. || SEVEN B.TECH BRANCHES: Civil, CSE, CSE-Data Science, CSE & Business Systems, EEE, ECE, Mechanical. Plus M.Tech, MBA, MCA and Ph.D. || SCHOLARSHIPS: full four-year tuition waiver for EAMCET ranks 1-10,000; ₹25,000 reimbursement for 90%+ CGPA in an academic year. || ⚠️ DISTRICT: the UGC row and the regulation both say 'Nandyal-518501, Kurnool Dist.' NANDYAL BECAME A SEPARATE DISTRICT IN THE 2022 REORGANISATION. Record Nandyal, note Kurnool. || ⚠️ ESTABLISHMENT YEAR VARIES — 1995 (college site, most sources), 1996 (careers360, dial4college, referring to the inauguration date 9 March 1996). Use 1995 founded / 1996 inaugurated.

Worked example

Take a percentage of 75%. Reversing the official R.G.M. College of Engineering & Technology (Autonomous), Nandyal 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 — R.G.M. College of Engineering & Technology (Autonomous), Academic Regulations RGM-R-2020, §14.0: 'For any academic/employment purpose the following formulae shall be used for conversion of CGPA to % of marks. % of marks = (CGPA – 0.5) x 10.'

Applies to B.Tech (Regular) admitted from AY 2020-21 and B.Tech (Lateral Entry) from AY 2021-22, under RGM-R-2020. || ⚠️⚠️ THE CGPA THIS FORMULA CONVERTS IS NOT COMPUTED FROM ALL 160 CREDITS — UNIQUE IN THIS REGISTRY AND EASY TO GET WRONG. §7.4: 'The student shall register and put up minimum attendance in all 160 credits and earn 160 credits. GRADES OBTAINED IN 150 CREDITS (EXCLUDING THE CREDITS OBTAINED IN SKILL DEVELOPMENT COURSES/VALUE ADDED COURSES) SHALL BE CONSIDERED FOR THE CALCULATION OF CGPA.' The §11.0 class table likewise reads 'CGPA secured from 150 Credits'. FOR LATERAL ENTRY IT IS 111 CREDITS OF 121. A student recomputing CGPA across all credits will get a different figure from their grade card. || GRADE SCALE IS FINE-GRAINED WITH DECIMAL BOUNDARIES: O = 10 (90-100, Outstanding), A+ = 9 (80-89.9, Excellent), A = 8 (70-79.9, Very Good), B+ = 7 (60-69.9, Good), B = 6 (50-59.9, Above Average), C = 5 (45-49.9, Average), P = 4 (40-44.9, Pass), F = 0 (<40), Ab = 0. ⚠️ NOTE THE 5-MARK BANDS AT THE BOTTOM AND THAT P (PASS) CARRIES ONLY 4 POINTS — most colleges award 5 at the pass threshold. Minimum CGPA for the degree is 4.0 (§12.4), internally consistent with a 4-point pass grade. || CLASS IS AWARDED ON PERCENTAGE, NOT CGPA (§11.0): First Class with Distinction ≥ 70%; First Class 60–<70%; Second Class 50–<60%; Pass Class 40–<50%. The table carries a parallel CGPA column, but percentage is operative — which is why the conversion is stated 'for any academic/employment purpose'. || Skill Development and Value Added marks are excluded from the award of division (§12.3) though their credits count toward the degree.
