How Srinivasa Institute of Engineering and Technology (UGC-Autonomous), Cheyyeru, Amalapuram converts percentage to CGPA

VERIFIED 2026-08-15 from the college's own SR21 regulations, read in full. || THE FORMULA IS NEARLY INVISIBLE IN THE DOCUMENT AND IS WORTH FLAGGING AS A RETRIEVAL LESSON. §15 Grading Procedure carries the sub-heading 'Conversion of Grade Point Average to Percentage of Marks' followed immediately by unrelated text about SGPA rounding — the heading appears to have no content. The formula is actually in a displaced callout box that extracts between pages 29 and 30, in the middle of §17 Attendance Requirements. A keyword search for 'CGPA to Percentage conversion Formula' — the phrasing used by the thirteen JNTUK-template colleges — would MISS this document entirely, because SIET words it 'Percentage of Marks = [CGPA – 0.75] x 10' with square brackets. Any automated extraction across this registry must search for the numeric pattern, not the template sentence. || THE REGULATION IS INDEPENDENTLY DRAFTED, not a JNTUK template adoption, and it shows: it opens with a 30-item glossary of defined terms (Academic Council, Academic Autonomy, Backlog Course, CoE, Pre-requisite…), a feature no other regulation in this batch has; authority sits with the Controller of Examinations, Principal, BoS and Academic Council throughout with essentially no residual 'Vice-Chancellor' language; and it uses A+ rather than S or O for the top grade. This is a genuinely institutional document and its −0.75 is a genuine institutional choice. || THE −0.75 PLUS RAISED-BANDS PAIRING NOW HOLDS EIGHT OF EIGHT: SIET, PACE, NEC, LBRCE, Pragati, PVP20 and SVECW all pair (CGPA − 0.75) × 10 with 7.75/6.75/5.75/5.0 class bands, while every −0.5 college in this batch pairs it with 7.5/6.5/5.5/5.0. The heuristic has not yet failed across 31 resolved colleges and is now worth using as a cross-check when a grading table is visible but the conversion clause is not. || DISTINCTIVE PROVISIONS: a minimum CGPA of 4.0 is required for the degree (most peers require only the credits); ten months of mandatory internship in total, comprising two short internships plus a full six-month final-semester internship with project work; a 4-credit Community Service Project requiring 180 hours; a strict rule that no student may study any semester more than three times; and Minor/Honors entry gated at SGPA 7.5, higher than the CGPA 7.0 used by most peers. || AUTONOMY DATES TO AY 2021-22 from the SR21 code, and the regulation explicitly describes the transition: JNTUK-curriculum students detained for attendance join the autonomous batch and are thereafter governed by autonomous regulations 'with the approval of JNTUK University'. || SIX BRANCHES: Civil, EEE, Mechanical, ECE, CSE and AI&ML. || TWO DOMAINS PLUS A THIRD FOR AUTONOMOUS MATTERS: sriniet.edu.in is the main site; srinautonomous.in is a separate autonomous-section site; edubilla also lists an older sriniet.com. Check all three when hunting for documents. || PIN CONFLICT: 533216 on the college's own contact page and the regulation title page; edubilla says 533222; ZoomInfo gives a different address entirely (College Rd, Gunnepalli). Use 533216. || SOCIETY: Sri Saraswathi Education Society. Chairman SVSS Ramachandra Raju; Principal K.S.N. Rao (per edubilla; the site does not name one). Established 2009. Campus 10 acres at Cheyyeru, 10 km from Amalapuram and 50 km from Kakinada. NAAC 'A'; UGC 2(f) and 12(B). || DISTRICT: the college says East Godavari. Note that Amalapuram became the headquarters of the new KONASEEMA district in the 2022 reorganisation, so this may now be stale — the college's own site elsewhere refers to Konaseema. Unresolved.

Worked example

Take a percentage of 72.5%. Reversing the official Srinivasa Institute of Engineering and Technology (UGC-Autonomous), Cheyyeru, Amalapuram formula % = (CGPA − 0.75) × 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 — Srinivasa Institute of Engineering and Technology (UGC-Autonomous), SR-21 Academic Regulations for B.Tech Four Year Degree Course, §15 Grading Procedure, sub-heading 'Conversion of Grade Point Average to Percentage of Marks': 'Percentage of Marks = [CGPA – 0.75] x 10'

IMPORTANT — SIET USES −0.75, NOT −0.5. Most AP autonomous colleges on recent regulations use (CGPA − 0.5) × 10. SIET does not. At CGPA 8.0 that is 72.5% here versus 75% elsewhere. In particular, do NOT carry a figure across from BVC Institute of Technology and Science, Amalapuram (slug bvcits), which is in the SAME TOWN and is verified at (CGPA − 0.5) × 10. Applies to: B.Tech (Regular, 160 credits) admitted from AY 2021-22 and B.Tech (Lateral Entry, 121 credits) from AY 2022-23, under SR21. Grade scale (10-point absolute): 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 (Pass) = 5 (40-49), F (Fail) = 0, AB (Absent) = 0. Class is awarded on CGPA, not percentage: First Class with Distinction ≥ 7.75 WITHOUT ANY SUPPLEMENTARY APPEARANCE, First Class ≥ 6.75 < 7.75, Second Class ≥ 5.75 < 6.75, Pass Class ≥ 5.0 < 5.75. Mandatory courses are marked Completed/Not Completed and excluded from SGPA/CGPA. Zero grade points are included when computing SGPA. A MINIMUM CGPA OF 4.0 IS REQUIRED FOR THE DEGREE ITSELF — a student who earns all 160 credits but finishes below CGPA 4.0 is not eligible for the award.
