Notes:
(1) Candidates with foreign diplomas should see the EdCIL website for equivalence
(http://www.edcil.co.in), and if required should obtain an equivalence certificate well
in advance from the evaluation division of the AIU (website http://www.aiuweb.org).
(2) In case any Board / University awards grades instead of marks, the calculation
of equivalent marks would be based on the procedure prescribed by the Board /
University. In case a University does not have any scheme for converting CGPA
into equivalent marks, the equivalence would be established by dividing obtained
CGPA with the maximum possible CGPA and multiplying the resultant with 100.
