About the KTU (APJ Abdul Kalam Technological University, Kerala) Grading System
Kerala's KTU publishes its conversion as Percentage = 10 × G − 3.75, where G is your SGPA or CGPA. At typical CGPAs this lands close to the CBSE × 9.5 result (an 8.0 CGPA gives 76.25% under KTU vs 76% under CBSE), but the official KTU formula is the one to quote on applications.
Worked example: a CGPA of 8.0 converts to 76.25%. 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.
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, KTU can issue a conversion or equivalence certificate through its examinations office.
