RGUKT takes zero responsibility for omitted reservation details.

05 00 PM IST - 11 Jun'26

Standardized Grade Conversion Policy Applied by Governing Council

For students coming from educational boards that declare results in the form of letter grades or GPAs rather than numerical marks, a special system is used. An equivalency factor recommended and structured by the Governing Council of RGUKT is heavily utilized to accurately convert those grades into proportional marks before preparing the final merit rankings.

04 45 PM IST - 11 Jun'26
