As per the new guidelines released by the college, below are the details:

The reason I am asking this is because I was confused with one of the terms i.e

The CGPA will not be converted into percentage marks, even if the degree awarding Institute provides marks in CGPA system. Their admission will be based on the CGPA awarded in the transcript. If the CGPA is on a different scale other than 10, the eligibility of a candidate will be based on the equivalence of the CGPA on a 10-point scale.

Is this means that I am not eligible to apply for pgdba?
