How Swarnandhra College of Engineering & Technology (Autonomous), Seetharampuram, Narsapur converts percentage to CGPA

VERIFIED 2026-08-15 from the college's own R20 regulations, read in full; formula stated at §16.1(iv). The regulation text is bundled into each department's syllabus PDF at swarnandhra.ac.in/syllabus/ — the IT copy was read. || THIS CLEARS A THIRD WRONG 'LAPSED' FLAG. Swarnandhra was one of four entries marked LAPSED in the working CSV, alongside QIS, SVECW and KSRM. It is emphatically not lapsed: UGC autonomous status from AY 2014-15 — over a decade — NAAC 'A' at 3.32 CGPA, NBA-accredited, and live examinations across four regulation generations as recently as May 2026. THREE OF FOUR LAPSED FLAGS ARE NOW CONFIRMED WRONG; only KSRM remains unchecked. || AUTONOMY DATE ESTABLISHED PRECISELY: the college's own examination portal states it 'got Autonomous status by UGC from the academic year 2014-15' and describes itself as 'one of the few private engineering colleges in the state of Andhra Pradesh' to hold it — the same vintage as SVECW. || ANOTHER INDEPENDENTLY-DRAFTED −0.75 DOCUMENT, consistent with the model established at Sri Vasavi Engineering College: this is NOT the JNTUK common autonomous template. It has its own §-numbering, its own 30/70 split with an unusual internal breakdown (two mid exams for 20 marks plus FIVE class tests for 10 marks, best three averaged), its own 8-character course-code scheme, and authority resting with the Principal ratified by the Chairman of the Governing Body rather than a Vice-Chancellor. Colleges that draft their own regulations choose their own constant, and Swarnandhra chose −0.75. || THE CLASS-BAND HEURISTIC HOLDS FOR THE NINTH TIME: 7.75/6.75/5.75/5.00 alongside −0.75. Every −0.5 college verified in this batch pairs it with 7.5/6.5/5.5/5.0. Nine of nine. || THE SISTER-COLLEGE LINK IS NOW CLOSED. Rajamahendri Institute of Engineering and Technology (slug riet) is sponsored by the SWARNANDHRA EDUCATIONAL SOCIETY, NARSAPUR — a name that appears to point at this college. But SCET's sponsor is the VASISTA EDUCATIONAL SOCIETY, Narsapur. Separately named bodies in the same town; do not merge the rows or assume a shared academic framework. || A THIRD COLLEGE COMPOUNDS THE CONFUSION: SWARNANDHRA INSTITUTE OF ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY (SIET), established 2007, also at Narsapur, also under the Vasista Educational Society, 10.20-acre campus about 5 km towards Mogalturu, with its own domain swarnandhra.edu.in. Check whether your certificate says COLLEGE or INSTITUTE. || A DIRECTORY ERROR WORTH IGNORING: reviewadda files this college under 'Narsapur, RANGAREDDI, TELANGANA'. It is in West Godavari, Andhra Pradesh. LinkedIn also gives PIN 534275; the college says 534280. || EIGHT B.TECH BRANCHES including Robotics (ROBO) as a full department — the only standalone Robotics B.Tech encountered in this batch — plus CSE-Business Systems and BBA(H). || CAMPUS: 38,243 sq m built-up area on NH-214A, 5 km from Narsapur town; 60 classrooms, 33 laboratories, 15 computer labs. || ESTABLISHMENT YEAR CONFLICT: 2001 per the college and most sources; collegedekho says 2007, which is SIET's founding year and appears to be a conflation. Use 2001. || RESOLUTION FOR COMPLETENESS: read the R23 regulation from the same /syllabus/ path, since R23 students graduate from 2027.

Worked example

Take a percentage of 72.5%. Reversing the official Swarnandhra College of Engineering & Technology (Autonomous), Seetharampuram, Narsapur 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 — Swarnandhra College of Engineering and Technology (Autonomous), R20 Academic Regulations (CBCS) for B.Tech Four Year Degree Course, §16.1 Award of Grade, clause (iv): 'Equivalent Percentage = (CGPA – 0.75) x 10'

IMPORTANT — SWARNANDHRA USES −0.75, NOT −0.5. At CGPA 8.0 that is 72.5% here versus 75% at the many AP autonomous colleges that use −0.5. Applies to: B.Tech (Regular, 160 credits) admitted from AY 2020-21 and B.Tech (Lateral Entry, 121 credits), under R20. 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. Division 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 5.00–<5.75. A MINIMUM CGPA OF 5.0 IS REQUIRED FOR THE DEGREE ITSELF (4.5 for lateral entry) — earning all 160 credits is not sufficient on its own. Mandatory zero-credit courses must all be completed satisfactorily. SCET ALSO RUNS A POLYTECHNIC DIPLOMA under SBTET Andhra Pradesh, admitted through AP POLYCET, which is not covered here.
