What is CGPA to Percentage Converter?
This converter turns a CGPA into a percentage and a percentage back into a CGPA. It supports the CBSE method of multiplying by 9.5, the plain multiply-by-10 method many universities use, the VTU formula that subtracts 0.75 before multiplying, and any custom multiplier your institution specifies. Along with the converted figure it shows the formula applied and the division that percentage falls into.
How to Use
Choose whether you are converting CGPA to percentage or percentage to CGPA.
Enter your CGPA or percentage.
Pick the formula your university uses, or enter a custom multiplier, to see the converted result instantly.
Why Use This Tool?
There is no single national formula, which is why two calculators can give you different answers for the same CGPA. Rather than hiding that, this tool lets you pick the method your university actually prescribes and tells you which one it used, so the figure you quote on an application matches your marksheet. It runs entirely in your browser with nothing to sign up for.
FAQ
The most widely used method, prescribed by CBSE, is to multiply your CGPA by 9.5. A CGPA of 8.4 becomes 79.8%. Many universities instead multiply by 10, and some apply their own formula, so always confirm what your institution uses.
CBSE derived the multiplier by averaging the marks of high-scoring students across several years and dividing by the corresponding grade point. It applies to Classes 10 and 12 results, not to university degrees.
Visvesvaraya Technological University converts using (CGPA − 0.75) × 10. A CGPA of 8.4 therefore becomes 76.5% rather than the 79.8% the CBSE formula would give.
Divide the percentage by the same multiplier your university uses. With the 9.5 multiplier, 79.8% comes back to a CGPA of 8.4. Switch this tool to the percentage-to-CGPA tab and it does the reverse arithmetic for whichever formula you select.
In most Indian universities 60% and above is first class, 50 to 59.99% is second class, and 40 to 49.99% is a pass. Scores of 75% and above are usually marked as distinction. Your university's rules take precedence.
Many ask for the CGPA exactly as printed on your transcript along with the official conversion scale, rather than a self-converted percentage. Send your university's conversion certificate where one is available.
