VTU uses a 10-point CGPA system for B.E. and M.Tech programs. The official conversion subtracts 0.75 from CGPA before multiplying by 10.
VTU's conversion formula was officially adopted as (CGPA − 0.75) × 10 to align with university grading. VTU CGPA appears on transcripts directly; the conversion to percentage is required mainly for higher studies abroad and competitive exams.
If you're applying for higher studies abroad (USA, UK, Australia, Canada), most universities accept the percentage form derived from this formula. WES (World Education Services) and other credential evaluators may use a slightly different conversion — check with the specific evaluator before submitting documents.

Government job applications: Most government and PSU job applications (Indian Railways, ONGC, NTPC, IOCL, BHEL, SAIL) require percentage-form scores even though your transcript may show CGPA. Use the Percentage = (CGPA − 0.75) × 10 formula to compute the equivalent percentage.
Competitive exams: GATE, CAT, MAT, XAT, and CMAT applications ask for either CGPA or equivalent percentage. The same formula applies — be consistent across all your application forms to avoid mismatch flags during verification.
Higher studies abroad: US, UK, Canadian, and Australian universities typically accept transcripts with CGPA along with the official conversion formula stamped by the registrar's office. Some require WES or ECE evaluation which may use slightly different scaling.
