If you have been contemplating leaving your Master’s in Public Policy program at NLSIU Bangalore to pursue an MA in Development and Labour Studies at JNU, it is not worth it. Here's why:
- Pursuing a Master’s in Public Policy from a reputed institute like NLSIU Bangalore opens doors to promising and lucrative career opportunities. In comparison, job prospects in Development and Labour Studies are relatively meager.

Pursuing Public Policy at a reputed institute like NLSIU Bangalore will open doors to lucrative career opportunities and help you develop a wholesome understanding and a holistic idea of Policy Making.
How do I convert the SGPA to percentage under JNTUH University?
To calculate your percentage from SGPA, you must first know your CGPA. There is a simple formula for that. It is-
CGPA= Credits*SGPA/Total number of credits
Suppose you got 7 and 8.5 SGPA in your first two semesters respectively, and there are 25 credits in each semester. Then, your CGPA will be-
(25*7+ 25*8.5)/50= 7.75
Thus, your CGPA for the first year will be 7.75.
Next, to calculate CGPA from percentage, you need to follow this formula-
Percentage= (CGPA- 0.75)*10
In this hypothetical scenario, your percentage will turn out to be-
(7.75-0.75)*10=70
So, your percentage in the first year will be 70%.
This is how you can figure out your CGPA and percentage from your SGPA. Moreover, you can figure out your semester-wise percentage by replacing CGPA with SGPA in the percentage formula.
