The percentage of marks obtained by the candidate in the bachelor s degree would be calculated based on the practice followed by the university/institution from where the candidate has obtained the degree. In case the candidates are awarded grades/cgpa instead of marks, the conversion of grades/cgpa to percentage of marks would be based on the procedure certified by the university/ institution from where they have obtained the bachelor's degree. In case the university/ institution does not have any scheme for converting CGPA into equivalent marks, the equivalence would be established by dividing the candidate s CGPA by the maximum possible CGPA and multiplying the result with 100.
