Frequently Asked AKTU Academic Questions
What is the official AKTU formula to convert CGPA into percentage?
Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technical University (AKTU / formerly UPTU) prescribes the standard conversion formula: Percentage (%) = (CGPA − 0.75) × 10. For example, an AKTU CGPA of 7.80 gives (7.80 − 0.75) × 10 = 70.50%.
How does AKTU calculate semester SGPA?
AKTU calculates SGPA using credit-weighted summation: SGPA = ∑(Course Credits × Grade Points) ÷ ∑(Course Credits) across all registered theory, practical, and seminar subjects in that semester.
What is the minimum CGPA required for First Division with Honours in AKTU?
To graduate with First Division with Honours, a student must secure a cumulative CGPA of 7.50 or higher, clear every course in the first attempt without carryover (grace marks or backlogs), and complete the degree within 4 academic years.
What are the letter grades and numerical values in AKTU grading system?
AKTU awards: O (Outstanding, 10), A+ (Excellent, 9), A (Very Good, 8), B+ (Good, 7), B (Above Average, 6), C (Average, 5), P (Pass, 4), and F (Fail, 0).
How do carryover papers (backlogs) affect AKTU CGPA?
When an F grade is obtained, zero grade points are credited, but subject credits remain in the denominator. Once the carryover paper is cleared in a subsequent semester, the new passing grade point updates your cumulative CGPA.
