About the Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University (JNTUH / JNTUK / JNTUA) Grading System
The JNTU universities (Hyderabad, Kakinada and Anantapur) run B.Tech and B.Pharm programmes on a 10-point CGPA scale under their R-series regulations (R16, R18, R22 and so on). The most widely cited conversion in the JNTUH and JNTUK B.Tech regulations is Percentage = (CGPA − 0.75) × 10 (Clause 11.2), while JNTUA commonly uses (CGPA − 0.5) × 10.
Worked example: a CGPA of 8.0 gives 72.50% at JNTUH/JNTUK and 75.00% at JNTUA. Because the deduction differs, always confirm the exact clause printed in your own regulation booklet before quoting a figure on official forms.
Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University (JNTUH / JNTUK / JNTUA) Percentage Classification — Distinction, First Class & Pass

Your official Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University (JNTUH / JNTUK / JNTUA) grade card is the final authority on how your result is classified.

What CGPA Do You Actually Need? Placement & Eligibility Cutoffs
Campus placement drives and most PSU and government eligibility notices state their cutoffs as a percentage, which is exactly why this conversion matters. A common baseline is 60% (roughly a 6.0–6.5 CGPA on a ×10 scale) with no active backlogs. Competitive IT and core-engineering recruiters often set the bar at 70%+ (about 7.0+ CGPA), and the most selective firms and higher-study programs look for 75%+. Always read the exact cutoff in the official notification, because some recruiters specify CGPA directly while others specify percentage.
When You Need the Percentage (and When You Don't)
You typically need the percentage figure for Indian job applications and eligibility cutoffs (most state cutoffs in %), government exam forms, and some scholarship applications. You usually don't need it for US or Canada graduate applications — report the CGPA on its original 10-point scale and let the university recalculate.
