Biju Patnaik University of Technology - [BPUT], Rourkela - Affiliated Colleges

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.
