Conversions of Grades into Percentage and Class Equivalence

Conversions of Grades into Percentage: Conversion formula for the conversion of CGPA into percentage is given below: Percentage of marks secured, P=[CGPA Earned]×10 Illustration for a CGPA Of 8.20: P=[CGPA Earned 8.2]×10=82.0 % Class Equivalence: After the conversion of final CGPA into percentage of marks (P), a graduating student is reckoned to have passed in

(i) First Class with Distinction [FCD] if P≥70%

(ii) First Class (FC) if P≥60% but <60%

(iii) Second Class (SC) if P≥50% but <50%
