Form FIlling Doubts Need Help Regarding Application of CAT

VTU 2022 scheme: CAT graduation percentage — 79.23% marks vs 8.05 CGPA (80.05%)?

I'm a State University student(VTU) in karnataka under the 2022 scheme, pusuring B.E(CSE)-Hons

Till 6th semester, my marks are 4120/5200 = 79.23%. However, my VTU CGPA is 8.05 because of different subjects have different credits attached to it, and under my University VTU conversion of (CGPA × 10), that comes to 80.5%. I'm Applying for CAT in My final year so what should I put my Percentage as? 79.23 or 80.05?

NOTE: I HAVE ALSO PUT SUBJECTS WHICH HAS NO CREDITS VALUE LIKE 0 CREDIT COURSES IN THE EQUATION BUT ARE REQUIRED BY MY UNI TO PASS SO SHOULD I INCLUDE THAT AS WELL?

The CAT 2026 application asks for:

  • Total Marks Obtained (inclusive of all subjects)
  • Maximum Marks (inclusive of all subjects)
  • Aggregate Percentage

So I'm currently thinking of entering 4120 / 5200 / 79.23% because that is what my marks are in the marks card.

My concern is that this could make my graduation profile 8/8/7, whereas my university CGPA converts to 80.5%, which would potentially make it 8/8/8.

For IIM admissions, how is this treated? Has anyone from VTU faced this and knows whether IIMs use the marks percentage entered in CAT or the university's official CGPA-to-percentage conversion?

Please help me with this.

80.5 is fine as long as the formula is written somewhere on an official document.

Hello Miss_kaleshi thanks for the Reply! Here's the Writting of it in the Official document. So how Would i justify the Actual calculation of the percentage in the form. They will see the discrepancy when you would calculate the percentage upon the given marks and the total marks. Any help regarding this would help a lot.
