How It Works
VTU (Visvesvaraya Technological University, Karnataka) is the largest engineering university by enrolment with 200+ affiliated colleges. SGPA and CGPA both sit on a 10-point scale under VTU's Choice-Based Credit System (CBCS), and the percentage equivalent printed on the consolidated marks card is derived using a formula specific to VTU.
The VTU percentage formula
Percentage = (CGPA ร 10) โ 7.5
This is the formula officially notified by VTU and used on every CBCS transcript. A CGPA of 8.0 maps to 72.5%, a CGPA of 9.0 maps to 82.5%, and a CGPA of 10.0 maps to 92.5%. It differs from the CBSE ร 9.5 multiplier used at the school-leaving stage and from formulas used by Anna University, JNTU, and other engineering universities.
How CGPA is aggregated across semesters
VTU uses credit-weighted aggregation:
CGPA = ฮฃ (SGPAi ร Creditsi) / ฮฃ Creditsi
The sum runs across every semester completed so far. A B.E./B.Tech programme has 8 semesters spread over 4 years; M.Tech has 4 semesters over 2 years. Each semester typically carries 24-26 credits โ heavier semesters (more theory + lab + project credits) contribute more strongly to the running CGPA, lighter semesters contribute less.
Class designations
VTU prints a class designation on the final marks card based on the overall percentage:
- First Class with Distinction โ 75% and above (CGPA โฅ 8.25)
- First Class โ 60% to under 75% (CGPA 6.75 to 8.24)
- Second Class โ 50% to under 60% (CGPA 5.75 to 6.74)
- Pass โ 40% to under 50% (CGPA 4.75 to 5.74)
- Fail โ below 40% (CGPA < 4.75)
