See how your GPA scale maps to the GKS percentage baseline.
CGPA → 100-point conversion from Appendix A of the GKS Application Guidelines — a fixed, non-linear lookup, so read your scale's row rather than estimating with (GPA ÷ max) × 100. The highlighted 80 row is the eligibility baseline; there are no rows below it because 80 is the GKS academic floor.

GKS treats your grades as meeting the academic requirement if you satisfy any one of these routes:
Because any one route is enough, a CGPA that sits just under the 80 row is not automatically a rejection — a top-20% class rank can still meet the requirement.
Appendix A covers the 4.0, 4.3, 4.5, and 5.0 scales. If your transcript uses a different scale or grading system, GKS asks for a university-certified converted transcript or a grade-conversion statement issued by your school. Third-party evaluations, for example WES or Scholaro, are accepted only when your university certifies the converted figure — a self-made conversion does not count. When in doubt, use the percentage or class-rank figure your registrar puts in writing.
