About the VTU (Visvesvaraya Technological University) Grading System
VTU, Karnataka's technical university with 200+ affiliated engineering colleges, has used two different conversions. Students under the 2015, 2017 and 2018 CBCS schemes use (CGPA − 0.75) × 10. Students admitted under the 2021 and 2022 schemes use the simpler CGPA × 10. Check the regulation year printed on your marks card before converting.
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.
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, VTU can issue a conversion or equivalence certificate through its examinations office.
