Placement Eligibility — What CGPA Do You Need?

Campus placement eligibility is stated in percentage, but your marksheet shows CGPA. Use this table to check where you stand against common company cutoffs:

Cutoff %	CGPA Needed (AKTU)	Who Uses This Cutoff
60%	6.75 CGPA	TCS, Wipro, Tech Mahindra, Cognizant, most IT mass recruiters
65%	7.25 CGPA	Infosys, Capgemini, Accenture, HCL — standard IT tier
70%	7.75 CGPA	Core engineering companies, many PSU state-level recruiters
75%	8.25 CGPA	BHEL, ONGC, NTPC, GATE-based PSUs, most government jobs
80%	8.75 CGPA	DRDO, premium R&D roles, select MS/MBA programme cutoffs

If your CGPA puts you right at the boundary (e.g. 7.24 for a 65% cutoff), some companies allow a grace of 0.5% — always verify directly on the company's job posting, as policies vary by year and branch.

About the AKTU (Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technical University) Grading System

AKTU (formerly UPTU) in Uttar Pradesh uses the (CGPA − 0.75) × 10 conversion, the same pattern as several other state technical universities. The subtraction reflects AKTU's grade-boundary calibration — multiplying by 10 alone would overstate the percentage relative to actual marks.

Worked example: a CGPA of 8.0 converts to 72.50%. On the US 4.0 scale that's approximately 3.20 — though American universities will recalculate from your transcript rather than accept a converted figure.

Sourced from: multiple publicly available references on AKTU's CGPA conversion, cross-checked for internal consistency but not verified against a single primary circular for every regulation year. Always confirm the exact formula on your official AKTU grade card, transcript, or with the examination branch.

When You Need the Percentage (and When You Don't)

You typically need the percentage figure for: Indian job applications and eligibility cutoffs (most companies state cutoffs in %), government exam forms, and some scholarship applications. You usually don't need it for US/Canada graduate applications — report the CGPA on its original scale and let the university convert. If an employer asks for an official conversion, AKTU can issue a conversion or equivalence certificate through its examinations office.

No — × 9.5 is the CBSE school-board formula. AKTU's conversion can vary by regulation and programme, and employers or universities verifying your marks against AKTU records will expect the correct conversion for your batch. Using the wrong multiplier can overstate or understate your percentage and create discrepancies during document verification.

UK, Australian and European universities usually understand the Indian 10-point scale too, but having the official percentage conversion ready avoids processing delays.
