IIT Kanpur uses 6 grade tiers on a 10-point scale. It dates from 1959 and is based in Kanpur.
There are 6 grade tiers. E is the last grade that scores, at 2 points.
Nothing we have found gives a usable IIT Kanpur conversion. If the examination office did not issue it, it does not count.
One gap is worth flagging. IIT Kanpur uses a credit-based 10-point letter grading system; thesis/special grades need separate treatment. We could fill this in convincingly. That is exactly why we have not.
The rules are not the same for every intake. The missing piece is the marks table, and its absence is the reason we will not print a percentage here. If your transcript disagrees with the 6-grade table above, your transcript wins, and we would rather re-read the source than argue with it.
| Grading mode | Institution-specific grading |
| Scale | 0–10 |

See the grade table on this page. It comes from the IIT Kanpur document cited at the top, not from a third-party summary. The linked source is where each grade point in that table came from.
No published IIT Kanpur rule supports it. The ×25 figure is a rough scaling of a 4-point scale onto 100, useful for a sanity check and nothing else.
