SPPU notified the official formula in its FE 2019 Rulebook and Circular No. 322/2020, applicable to all CBCS programmes from the 2019-20 academic session onwards. The formula is equivalent to (CGPA × 10) − 7.5. Verify with your marksheet on the SPPU Exam Portal.

A breakdown of the Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) used across all Savitribai Phule Pune University programmes since the 2019-20 academic year.
SPPU uses the UGC-recommended Choice Based Credit System with a 10-point scale and letter grades O, A+, A, B+, B, C, P, F. Introduced in the FE 2019 pattern for engineering and rolled out across faculties.
SGPA = Σ(Credits × Grade Points) ÷ Σ(Credits) for the semester. CGPA is the same calculation extended across all semesters of the programme.
SPPU was established in 1949 as the University of Poona and renamed Savitribai Phule Pune University in 2014, honouring the social reformer and pioneer of women's education in India.
The percentage is calculated by subtracting 0.75 from CGPA and multiplying by 10. So CGPA 8.00 = 72.50%, not 80% — a common student mistake. Same approach as VTU and AKTU.
You need at least Grade 'P' (4 grade points, ~40% marks) in each subject to pass. F grade in any subject = fail. To graduate, you must clear all subjects.
SPPU has 800+ affiliated colleges across Pune, Ahmednagar and Nashik districts in Maharashtra. Major affiliated institutions include COEP, MIT WPU, VIT Pune, PICT, MIT-ADT, PCCOE and many others.

The official formula is Percentage = (CGPA − 0.75) × 10, notified by Savitribai Phule Pune University in its FE 2019 Rulebook and Circular No. 322/2020. So a CGPA of 8.20 = (8.20 − 0.75) × 10 = 74.50%. This applies to all CBCS programmes from the 2019-20 academic session including B.E., B.Tech, MBA, MCA, M.Tech, B.Sc, BA, and B.Com. For government job applications, SPPU has issued a separate directive using CGPA × 8.80.
The 0.75 offset adjusts for the fact that SPPU's grade-point intervals don't perfectly map to a 1:10 percentage scale. The lowest passing grade P (4 points) corresponds to 40% marks, not 50%. The 0.75 subtraction aligns the CGPA scale with actual percentage ranges. The same approach is used by VTU, AKTU, Osmania, and AKTU — all reflecting CBCS engineering norms.
Use CGPA × 8.80 only when applying for government jobs that specifically reference SPPU's government-vacancy directive. This is a separate SPPU notification stating "Percentage = CGPA × 8.80" for converting CGPA to percentage for government recruitment (MPSC, UPSC, banking exams that follow SPPU's guidance). For placements, foreign admissions, scholarships, and general purposes, always use the official (CGPA − 0.75) × 10.
Yes. The same (X − 0.75) × 10 formula applies to both SGPA (single semester) and CGPA (cumulative). So if your SGPA is 7.40, your semester percentage is 66.50%; if your overall CGPA is 8.10, your aggregate percentage is 73.50%.
Yes. Savitribai Phule Pune University (SPPU) was previously called University of Poona until it was renamed in 2014 in honour of Savitribai Phule, a 19th-century social reformer and pioneer of women's education in India. The grading system, formulas, and regulations remained unchanged after the rename. Old University of Poona degrees use the same conversion rules.
The minimum passing grade in any subject is 'P' (4 grade points), which corresponds to roughly 40% marks. F grade = fail in that course and requires re-examination. To be awarded the degree, you must clear all subjects with at least Grade P. There is no hard minimum CGPA floor, but you cannot have any unresolved F grades.
No — the official formula (CGPA − 0.75) × 10 applies uniformly to all SPPU CBCS programmes (B.E., B.Tech, M.E., M.Tech, MBA, MCA, B.Sc, BA, B.Com, BBA, M.Sc, M.A., M.Com). The grading scale (O to F) and credit system are also the same. Only the total programme credits differ by course.
Use the credit-weighted formula: CGPA = Σ(SGPA × Semester Credits) ÷ Σ(Total Credits). For example, if Sem 1 SGPA is 7.5 with 22 credits and Sem 2 SGPA is 8.0 with 22 credits, then CGPA = (7.5 × 22 + 8.0 × 22) ÷ 44 = 7.75. Simple averaging (without credit weighting) is the most common SPPU student mistake — avoid it.
General benchmarks: 8.5+ (77.5%+ via CBCS) opens product companies and core engineering roles at COEP, MIT WPU, PICT, VIT Pune; 7.5 – 8.5 (67.5% – 77.5%) is excellent for IT service companies like TCS, Infosys, Wipro, Accenture, Cognizant, Persistent; 6.5 – 7.5 meets most service-company cutoffs. SPPU's strong industry connections in Pune mean even 6.5 CGPA can land good placements.

Yes. For credential evaluation by WES, IQAS, or admissions to US/UK/Canada/Australia universities, request an official Conversion Certificate from your college's Examination Section or the SPPU Examination Department. This certificate states the (CGPA − 0.75) × 10 formula along with your converted percentage and is the document foreign evaluators rely on.
