Official Conversion Formula
Many students ask why we don’t use the standard 9.5 multiplier seen in other boards. AKTU’s academic council utilizes the −7.5 constant to normalize the grading scale. This ensures that a 10.0 SGPA equates to a logical 92.5% rather than a flat 100%, accurately accounting for internal and external evaluation variances across different engineering and pharmacy branches.

SGPA vs. CGPA: Which one to convert?
A common point of confusion among students is whether to calculate their percentage semester-wise or for the entire year.
- SGPA (Semester Grade Point Average): Reflects your performance in a single semester. Use this for semester-specific scholarship applications.
- YGPA (Yearly Grade Point Average): The average of your two semesters in a year.
- CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average): Reflects your entire degree performance up to the current date.
Frequently Asked Questions
What if my SGPA is below 5.0?
An SGPA below 5.0 usually indicates a “Fail” or “PCP” status in one or more subjects. While you can still calculate the percentage, you must clear your backlogs to obtain a valid degree percentage.
Does the formula change for Carry Over Papers (COP)?
The formula remains identical. Once your COP result is declared and your SGPA is updated on AKTU One View, you simply apply the same calculation to your new, improved SGPA.
