2.     If the tran/grade sheet issued by the Institute/University reports:

Only marks, percentage will be considered.

Only grades, CGPA/CPI will be considered. If CGPA/CPI is reported on any scale other than 10 (eg. 4 point/ 8 point scale), an equivalent CGPA/CPI will be calculated as per the following formula:
CGPA/CPI in a 10 point scale = (CGPA/CPI Obtained×10)/PS

PS = Point scale used by the Institute/University.

Both marks and CGPA/CPI

Percentage equivalent of CGPA/CPI, as indicated on the tran/gradesheet, will be considered, if absolute grading was followed.

CGPA/CPI ONLY will be considered, if relative grading was followed.
