AKTU (UPTU) Academic Evaluation System
Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technical University (AKTU), Lucknow, affiliates colleges across Uttar Pradesh. This page provides a credit-weighted calculation model and general AKTU-related guidance; it does not reproduce every programme's ordinance or establish that one grading rule applies to all B.Tech, B.Pharm, and MCA students.
AKTU grade sheets record Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) and Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) on a 10-point scale. Some recruiters and examinations require a percentage, but the accepted conversion method depends on their instructions and the applicable AKTU ordinance. Confirm the required rule before submitting a formal application.
AKTU Grade-Point Calculation and Conversion Guidance
Where Ci is the number of credits allotted to course i, and Gi is the grade point earned in that course.
Do not use an offset formula merely because another technical university uses it. Confirm the exact equation in your current AKTU ordinance or official transcript before formal use.
AKTU CBCS Letter Grade & Grade Point Mapping
| Letter Grade | Qualitative Description | Grade Point (Gi) | Marks Range (%) |
|---|---|---|---|
| O | Outstanding | 10 | 90% – 100% |
| A+ | Excellent | 9 | 80% – 89% |
| A | Very Good | 8 | 70% – 79% |
| B+ | Good | 7 | 60% – 69% |
| B | Above Average | 6 | 50% – 59% |
| C | Average | 5 | 45% – 49% |
| P | Pass | 4 | 40% – 44% |
| F | Fail | 0 | Below 40% |
Step-by-Step Worked Example: AKTU B.Tech Semester
Consider a 2nd year B.Tech Computer Science student at an AKTU-affiliated college taking 6 courses in a semester:
- 1Data Structures: 4 Credits × Grade A (8) = 32 Quality Points
- 2Computer Organization: 3 Credits × Grade A+ (9) = 27 Quality Points
- 3Discrete Mathematics: 4 Credits × Grade B+ (7) = 28 Quality Points
- 4Technical Communication: 2 Credits × Grade A+ (9) = 18 Quality Points
- 5Data Structures Lab: 1 Credit × Grade O (10) = 10 Quality Points
- 6Mini Project or Internship: 2 Credits × Grade A (8) = 16 Quality Points
Total Quality Points: 32 + 27 + 28 + 18 + 10 + 16 = 131 Points
Total Semester Credits: 4 + 3 + 4 + 2 + 1 + 2 = 16 Credits
AKTU Degree Division Award Criteria
| Division Award | CGPA Threshold | Special Conditions |
|---|---|---|
| First Division with Honours | CGPA ≥ 7.50 | Cleared all registered courses in the first attempt without grace or backlogs within 4 years. |
| First Division | 6.50 ≤ CGPA < 7.50 | Awarded upon clearing all required credits within standard degree duration. |
| Second Division | 5.00 ≤ CGPA < 6.50 | Awarded upon earning all program credits. |
Frequently Asked AKTU Academic Questions
Which AKTU CGPA-to-percentage formula should I use?
AKTU conversion requirements depend on the applicable ordinance, programme, and academic session. No single conversion formula has been verified here for every AKTU student. Confirm the current rule in your ordinance or official transcript before using a percentage for formal applications.
How does AKTU calculate semester SGPA?
AKTU calculates SGPA using credit-weighted summation: SGPA = ∑(Course Credits × Grade Points) ÷ ∑(Course Credits) across all registered theory, practical, and seminar subjects in that semester.
What is the minimum CGPA required for First Division with Honours in AKTU?
To graduate with First Division with Honours, a student must secure a cumulative CGPA of 7.50 or higher, clear every course in the first attempt without carryover (grace marks or backlogs), and complete the degree within 4 academic years.
What are the letter grades and numerical values in AKTU grading system?
AKTU awards: O (Outstanding, 10), A+ (Excellent, 9), A (Very Good, 8), B+ (Good, 7), B (Above Average, 6), C (Average, 5), P (Pass, 4), and F (Fail, 0).
How do carryover papers (backlogs) affect AKTU CGPA?
When an F grade is obtained, zero grade points are credited, but subject credits remain in the denominator. Once the carryover paper is cleared in a subsequent semester, the new passing grade point updates your cumulative CGPA.
