Frequently Asked Questions
Why does VTU subtract 0.75 from the CGPA?
It's the calibration constant VTU's academic council settled on to align with the historical percentage-based scale. Other universities use different constants (some use 0.5, some don't subtract anything). Always use your university's exact formula - don't assume a generic 'CGPA x 9.5' rule applies.
Is this the same for VTU B.E., M.Tech, and MBA?
Yes - VTU uses the same (CGPA-0.75)x10 formula across all programs (B.E., M.Tech., MCA, MBA, M.Sc.). Old (pre-2010) graduates may have a different conversion - check your transcript's footnote.
