Note: For the qualifying/bachelor’s degree of the applicant, the percentage of marks awarded by University/
Institution/College, as applicable, will be treated as final. If the University/Institution/College does not award the
percentage of marks, it will be calculated on the basis of the marks obtained in all subjects listed in the marks-sheet
submitted by the applicant. Candidates having CGPA are not allowed to make conversion to percentages. Even use
of university/institute conversion formula is not permitted as IIT Kharagpur has its own formula for the same.

Cumulative grade point average (CGPA) performance will be converted into ‘marks percentage’ as shown
below:
Marks Percentage = 60 + (40/3.5) x [(CGPA obtained / Total CGPA) x 10 – 6.5]

If the University/Institution/College does not award the percentage of marks or cumulative grade point
average (CGPA), the percentage of marks will be calculated based on the marks obtained in all the subjects
listed in the marksheets submitted by the applicant.
