VSSUT, Burla Comparison

Here are some tips to score an 8+ CGPA during your B.Tech at VSSUT-

1. Do not rely on teachers. Self study is the only thing that’ll save you.
2. For last minute studies or to understand a topic, follow books by local publishers (like B.K. or Alok publication). This is especially helpful for the subjects that you find difficult. 
3. Follow NPTEL videos for learning important concepts. These videos aren’t made for last minute studies, so watch them during regular days. 
4. Solve all assignment questions yourself. During exams, especially midsems, most questions are based on these very assignments.
5. Try to score very high in midsems as they are much easier than the endsems. Midsems can increase your final marks by a lot.
6. To get 9+ CGPA, make sure to score at least 15+ in all subjects, in your mid sems. Also, start studying at least two weeks before the end sems. 
7. In your final results, if you get an O grade in two subjects, and a C in none, you’ll surely get a 9 CGPA.

Maintain a good CGPA because it is very important for placements and higher studies (MBA, M.Tech, etc). Only the top 20 students from each branch are deemed eligible for the written test of L&T. To be one of those students, you’ll have to get 8.8+ CGPA in your B.Tech.

Every university follows a different conversion formula. The formulae for calculating percentage from CGPA at VSSUT is 

(CGPA - 0.5)* 10.

Let’s understand Tbus through an example. If your CGPA is 7.5 CGPA, the percentage will be

(CGPA-0.5)* 10

(7.5-0.5)* 10

7*10=70%

To convert SGPA into a percentage, multiply the SGPA by 10. For instance, if the SGPA is 8.4, then the percent will be 8.4*10=84%.
