Noida and Lucknow campus drives usually publish percentage cutoffs, not CPI cutoffs. Under AKTU's formula, 6.90 CGPA = 59.99% and sits just below a strict 60% screen, while 7.0 CGPA = 60.7% and safely clears it.

Many VTU and AKTU students compare their CGPA directly with students from universities using CGPA x 9.5. These universities use stricter conversion logic, which can reduce final percentage during placements and higher studies applications.
AKTU students often see three different conversion rules in WhatsApp groups before a Noida or Lucknow placement registration opens. The safest approach is to use the AKTU-specific rule stored here, because the 60% line sits around 6.90 CGPA and not at a simple 6.0. The confusion usually peaks when a form asks for percentage but the marksheet language uses CPI or CGPA.
Common CGPA values and their percentage equivalents under the AKTU formula (7.1 x CGPA + 11):

| CGPA | Percentage | Grade | Class |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10.0 | 82.00% | O | Distinction |
| 9.0 | 74.90% | O | First Class |
| 8.5 | 71.35% | A+ | First Class |
| 8.0 | 67.80% | A+ | First Class |
| 7.5 | 64.25% | A | First Class |
AKTU uses a 10-point credit-point system. CGPA and CPI refer to the same cumulative performance measure on official marksheets.
Your degree certificate class at AKTU is determined by the following percentage thresholds:

| Classification | Min Percentage | Min CGPA (7.1 x CGPA + 11) |
|---|---|---|
| First Division with Distinction | 75% | 9.01 |
| First Division | 60% | 6.90 |
| Second Division | 50% | 5.49 |
| Third Division | 45% | 4.79 |
AKTU students often confuse college-level GPA or semester SGPA with the university-level CGPA shown on the consolidated marksheet. The CGPA on the AKTU consolidated marksheet should be used in the official 7.1 x CGPA + 11 formula, not a semester result or an internal college grade sheet.
AKTU calls uncleared subjects 'Back Papers'. Active back papers remain visible on semester results, and many recruiters require no active back paper at joining.
UPPSC, UPPCS, and PSU forms for AKTU graduates should use the official formula 7.1 x CGPA + 11 unless the notification provides a separate equivalence rule.
Yes. 7.1 x 7.0 + 11 = 60.7%, so 7.0 CGPA clears a standard 60% screen under AKTU's formula. By contrast, 6.90 CGPA gives 59.99% and may fail a strict non-rounded cutoff.
In AKTU, CPI and CGPA refer to the same cumulative credit-weighted score. Both are converted to percentage using the same formula: 7.1 x CGPA + 11.
A CGPA of about 6.91 reaches 60.06% using 7.1 x CGPA + 11. A 6.90 CGPA gives 59.99%, so 7.0 CGPA is the safer target for automated 60% filters.
