BPUT has a very simple and clear formula for converting CGPA to percentage. It is-
percentage= (cgpa-0.5) * 10
For example, you attained 7.57 CGPA.
In this case, your percentage will be (7.57-0.5)*10= 70.7%
This is the method of conversion followed by BPUT. You can also find it on their official website.
There is no way at BPUT to convert subject grades into marks obtained. The grades are awarded not for a single score, but for a range of corresponding marks.
For example, the grade O is awarded for 90-100 marks, and the corresponding point for it is 10. The total marks for theory and practical are the same in semester exams, i.e. 100. Practicals follow the same grading system as theory papers.
The main difference is that for a theory paper, the passing grade is D. On the other hand, for a practical paper, it is C. You can check the official website of BPUT for the method of calculating SGPA and CGPA.
KIIT is the best technical college in Orissa, in terms of placements too. Its students get placement offers before the 8th semester itself. But on average, the offers aren’t very attractive. Plus, the fee of KIIT is much higher compared to ITER and BPUT.
My cousin was a bright student at KIIT. He received a good on campus placement. On the other hand, I was a BPUT graduate. Though I was also good at studies, I had to look for off campus placements due to lack of on campus offers.
But my knowledge and hard work eventually paid, and I got a good job with a good package. At present, my cousin and I get an equal salary, and we are both working in different companies in the US.
KIIT is the best for on campus placements. ITER is not as good, but much better than BPUT. But my point is, even if you end up in ITER/BPUT because of financial constraints or some other reason, do not give up hopes. At the end of the day, your hardwork and determination is all that matters.
Here are the steps to apply for transcripts from BPUT -
You’ll get the transcripts in a week, or one and a half week’s time. The demand draft is no longer accepted, and has been replaced by SBI collect.
As per the new rules declared in 2018-19, you must clear a total of 179 credits (regular) and 129 credits (LE) to get your degree. If your total credits are greater than the above-said criterion, you can definitely skip the extra credit subject if you want to. For example, if you have a total credit score of 182, then you can willingly skip 182-179=3 credit subjects.
Now, suppose you have skipped one of your exams. The SGPA calculation on skipping the exam would be as follows:
Grade |
Score |
O |
10 |
E |
9 |
A |
8 |
B |
7 |
C |
6 |
D |
5 |
F |
2 |
M |
0 |
S |
0 |
The credit points per subject (CP) = Score* Credits of that subject
Credit Index (Sem)(CI)= Sum of all subjects*CP
Total credits (TC)= Total credit of each semester (Exclude the credits of the skipped subject)
SGPA=CI/TC.
This would be the new way to calculate your SGPA, once you skip an exam.
