Conversion of CGPA into percentage Marks by IIT KGP for B Tech Program: In case of a specific query by students/ employers regarding conversion of CGPA into percentage marks, the following formula will be adopted for notional conversion of CGPA into percentage marks. Formula: % Marks = CGPA*10


Change of Branch (At the end of First Year)

One admitted to B.Tech.(Hons.) / Dual Degree / Integrated M.Sc. Programs through JEE (Advanced) are eligible to be considered for a change of branch after the Second (Spring) Semester as per the following rules:

To be eligible for consideration for a change of branch the following conditions must be satisfied:

One must have completed all the credits prescribed in the first two semesters of the course, in first attempt, without having had to pass any course requirement in the re-exam, supplementary exam and/or summer quarter.

One must have obtained a Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) not lower than 8.5 at the end of 2nd (Spring) Semester.

One will not be eligible for Branch Change, if EAA has not successfully completed.

Only for serious medical cases, for all EAA activities (NCC, NSS and NSO), a certificate is to be obtained from B.C. Roy Technology Hospital for waiver of EAA completion for branch change.

One must not have been punished for any offence by the Standing Institute Disciplinary Committee or the Committee on Prevention of Exam Malpractices at any time prior to the notification for the change of branch.

Application for a change of branch must be made by intending eligible students when the notification is made during the Spring Semester of the academic year. One have to accordingly (i) apply online and (ii) submit signed hardcopy to Academic Section by the specified deadline.

One admitted to 4-Year B.Tech.(Hons.) and 5-Year Integrated M.Sc. programs is eligible for consideration for a change of branch to any Engineering or a Science discipline.

One admitted to a 5-Year Dual Degree Program are eligible for a change to another 5-Year Dual Degree Program only.

One may enlist up to 10 choices of branch, in order of preference, to which one wish to change over. It will not be permissible to alter the choices after the application has been submitted.

Change of branch is strictly on the basis of inter se merit of the applicants. For this purpose the CGPA obtained at the end of 2nd (Spring) Semester shall be considered. Ties will be broken by the JEE Advanced rank of the applicants.

(a) In making the change of branch, one will be first considered who have secured a rank within top 1%, rounded to the nearest integer, amongst all 1st year students in terms of the CGPA scored at the end of 2nd (Spring) Semester. Change of branch requested for by such applicants shall be made without any constraint on the number of seats.
(b) The remaining applicants are allowed a change of branch, strictly in order of inter se merit, subject to the limitation that the actual number of students in 3rd (Autumn) Semester, in the branch to which the transfer is to be made, does not exceed 110% of the sanctioned yearly intake for that branch.

The sanctioned yearly intake of a particular branch is the number sanctioned by the Senate as the intake for that branch for the particular year of entry of the applicants. To compute the total number of students in 1st year, sum of the sanctioned yearly intake of all the branches will be taken. For the purpose of calculating the actual number of students in a particular branch, the number of students joining the branch is to be considered.

The academic section will notify one and display on the notice boards about the changes of the branch at least 7 days before the assigned dates of the registration of 3rd (Autumn) semester. However, all changes of branch made in accordance with the above rules will be effective from 3rd (Autumn) Semester of the applicants concerned. No changes of branch shall be permitted thereafter.

All changes of branch will be final and binding on the applicants. No one will be permitted, under any circumstances, to refuse the change of branch offered.

Notwithstanding the provisions of foregoing paragraphs, the Senate may under very special circumstances, permit the transfer of a student from one branch to another in deviation of the above mentioned rules. In each such case the special reasons for which the transfer is permitted must be recorded in the Senate resolution. Such transfers, if any, will be over and above the regular transfers, and their number will not be counted in the computation of ‘Actual Number of Students’ in a given branch.
