How to Use the CGPA to Percentage Calculator
Converting your CGPA to percentage is straightforward using our tool. Follow these three simple steps:
Step 1 – Enter Your CGPA
Locate your Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) from your mark sheets or transcript. This is the average of your semester grade points. If you're unsure how your CGPA was calculated, consult your institution's grading policy. According to multiple sources, a common method is:
Percentage = CGPA × 9.5 for the 10‑point scale.
Step 2 – Select Your Grading Scale
Choose the correct grading scale used by your university—for example 10.0, 5.0, or 4.0.
- • For many Indian institutions using the 10‑point scale, the conversion factor is usually 9.5.
- • For a 5‑point scale, the formula often is: Percentage = (CGPA ÷ 5) × 100.
- • For a 4‑point scale, the formula often is: Percentage = (CGPA ÷ 4) × 100.
- • If your university uses a unique or custom formula (for example some use: Percentage = (7.1 × CGPA) + 11), verifying with your university is recommended.
Step 3 – Get Your Result Instantly
Click the Calculate button to view the instant result. The calculator will use the correct conversion factor based on your selected scale and your entered CGPA. The result can be copied, saved, or used for applications and academic purposes.
Note: While this tool aims for accuracy, for official records always check with your institution's conversion policy.
What is CGPA?
CGPA stands for Cumulative Grade Point Average. It's a standardised measure of a student's overall academic performance across multiple semesters or years. At CGPA Online Calculator, we provide tools to help students instantly convert CGPA into percentages, SGPA, or marks for any grading system.
Instead of just looking at your grade every term, CGPA gives a single number that reflects your entire academic journey. For example, whereas GPA (Grade Point Average) focuses on one semester, CGPA accumulates all your semesters to show long‑term consistency.
Because different institutions use various grading scales (4.0, 5.0, or 10.0), you may see CGPA calculated differently from one university to another. Our calculators support all these scales to give accurate conversions.
Converting your CGPA into a percentage is important for applications, transcripts, or internships. Using CGPA Online Calculator ensures you get reliable results instantly without storing your data.
How to Convert CGPA to Percentage
Converting your CGPA to a percentage is simple once you know the correct formula based on your university's grading scale. At CGPA Online Calculator, we support multiple grading systems, so you can get accurate results instantly.
1. 10-Point Scale (Common in India)
Most Indian universities, including CBSE, VTU, and Anna University, follow the 10-point grading system. The standard formula is:
Percentage = CGPA × 9.5
For example, if your CGPA is 8.2, the conversion would be: 8.2 × 9.5 = 77.9%. This method is widely used and trusted by students across India. However, some universities may apply a slightly different multiplier, such as 10. Always check your institution's official guidelines for precise conversion.
2. 5-Point Scale (Some International Colleges)
Some universities and international programs use a 5-point CGPA scale. The formula to convert CGPA to percentage is:
Percentage = (CGPA ÷ 5) × 100
For instance, a CGPA of 3.8 on a 5-point scale converts to (3.8 ÷ 5) × 100 = 76%. This approach ensures your percentage reflects your academic performance accurately according to the scale used by your institution.
3. 4-Point Scale (Common in the USA and Other Countries)
For universities using a 4-point grading scale, the formula is:
Percentage = (CGPA ÷ 4) × 100
For example, if your CGPA is 3.2 on a 4-point scale, the conversion is (3.2 ÷ 4) × 100 = 80%. This scale is common in many international colleges, and using the correct formula ensures that your percentage is accurate for applications or transcripts.

FAQ – CGPA to Percentage Converter
1. How accurate is the CGPA to Percentage conversion?
Our CGPA to Percentage calculator provides highly accurate conversions based on official university formulas and widely accepted academic standards. We've implemented specific conversion formulas for 20+ major Indian universities including VTU, Anna University, Mumbai University, DU, JNTU, and more. However, it's important to note that the final official percentage is always issued by your institution. Some universities may use slight variations in their conversion methodology or apply additional factors like internal assessments. We recommend verifying the converted percentage with your university's examination cell or academic office for official documentation purposes.
2. What is the standard formula for CGPA to Percentage conversion?
The conversion formula varies by institution and grading scale. The most commonly used formulas across Indian universities include: 10-Point Scale (Most Common) where Percentage = CGPA × 9.5 (used by CBSE and many central universities), VTU & MAKAUT use Percentage = (CGPA − 0.75) × 10, Mumbai University applies Percentage = (CGPA × 7.1) + 11, GTU & BPUT calculate as Percentage = (CGPA − 0.5) × 10, 5-Point Scale uses Percentage = CGPA × 20, and 4-Point Scale follows Percentage = (CGPA / 4) × 100. Our calculator automatically applies the correct formula based on your selected university and grading scale. Always refer to your university's official conversion chart for the most accurate results.
3. Which universities and boards are supported by this calculator?
Our calculator supports 20+ major Indian universities and boards with their specific conversion formulas. This includes State Universities like VTU (Visvesvaraya Technological University), Anna University, Mumbai University, Pune University (SPPU), GTU (Gujarat Technological University), AKTU (Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technical University), BPUT (Biju Patnaik University of Technology), and MAKAUT (Maulana Abul Kalam Azad University of Technology). We also support Central Universities including Delhi University (DU), Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), and Banaras Hindu University (BHU). Private Universities such as Amity University, Lovely Professional University (LPU), SRM University, and Manipal University are covered, along with Deemed Universities like BITS Pilani and Boards such as CBSE (Central Board of Secondary Education).
4. What is the difference between CGPA, GPA, and SGPA?
Understanding these terms is crucial for accurate grade conversion. CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) is the average of all your semester GPAs throughout your entire academic program and represents your overall academic performance across all semesters/years. This is what you typically use for job applications and higher education admissions. SGPA (Semester Grade Point Average) is the grade point average for a single semester only. Each semester has its own SGPA, and the average of all SGPAs gives you the CGPA. GPA (Grade Point Average) is a general term used internationally, especially in the US education system, and it can refer to semester-wise or cumulative performance depending on context. For example, if you scored SGPA 8.2, 8.5, 8.8, and 9.0 in four semesters, your CGPA would be (8.2+8.5+8.8+9.0)/4 = 8.625.
5. Can I use the converted percentage for job applications and higher education?
Yes, absolutely. The converted percentage is widely accepted for job applications where most employers in India request percentage equivalents, and you can confidently use the converted percentage in your CV/resume when applying for jobs, internships, or campus placements. It's also useful for higher education when applying for master's programs, competitive exams (GATE, CAT, etc.), or scholarships that require percentage marks. Government applications including civil services, PSU jobs, and other government positions that specify minimum percentage criteria also accept converted percentages. For official purposes, always mention "Percentage (Converted from CGPA)" and keep your original mark sheet handy. Some organizations may request official conversion certificates from your university.
6. How do I convert Percentage back to CGPA?
Yes, reverse conversion is possible using the inverse formula. The calculation depends on your grading scale. For 10-Point Scale, CGPA = Percentage ÷ 9.5 (Example: 85% = 85 ÷ 9.5 = 8.95 CGPA). For 4-Point Scale, CGPA = (Percentage × 4) ÷ 100 (Example: 85% = (85 × 4) ÷ 100 = 3.4 CGPA). For 5-Point Scale, CGPA = Percentage ÷ 20 (Example: 85% = 85 ÷ 20 = 4.25 CGPA). For university-specific formulas like VTU, Mumbai, and others, the reverse calculation is more complex. Use our Percentage to CGPA Calculator for accurate results.
7. How do I identify which grading scale my university uses?
Follow these steps to identify your grading scale. First, check your mark sheet or transcript and look for the maximum CGPA mentioned. It's usually written as "CGPA: X.XX out of 10.00" or "Grade Point: X.XX/10". The denominator (10, 5, or 4) is your grading scale. Second, visit your university website as most universities have a dedicated "Evaluation & Grading System" or "Examination Rules" page that clearly states their grading scale and conversion formula. Third, contact your examination cell because your university's examination department can provide official information about the grading system and conversion methodology. Finally, remember common patterns: Indian universities typically use 10-point scale, US universities use 4-point scale, and some European universities use 5-point scale.
8. Does this calculator work for all academic streams and degree programs?
Yes, absolutely. Our CGPA to Percentage calculator works universally for all academic streams and degree levels. This includes Engineering & Technology programs such as B.Tech, B.E., M.Tech, and Diploma in Engineering (all branches - CSE, ECE, Mechanical, Civil, Electrical, etc.), Management courses including BBA, MBA, PGDM, B.Com, and M.Com, Science degrees like BSc, MSc, B.Pharma, and M.Pharma (all specializations), Arts & Humanities programs such as BA, MA, BFA, and MFA, and Professional Courses including Law (LLB, LLM), Architecture (B.Arch, M.Arch), and Medical (BDS, etc.). The conversion formula is based on the grading scale used by your institution, not your field of study. Whether you're an engineering student or pursuing arts, if your university uses the same grading scale, the conversion formula remains identical.
9. Why do different universities have different CGPA conversion formulas?
Universities adopt different conversion formulas based on their academic evaluation philosophy and regional education standards. Universities like VTU use (CGPA - 0.75) × 10 to account for tougher evaluation patterns, ensuring students aren't disadvantaged when competing nationally through difficulty level adjustment. Universities like Mumbai follow formulas (CGPA × 7.1 + 11) established decades ago, maintaining consistency for alumni comparisons based on historical standards. State technical universities often follow formulas mandated by state education boards or affiliating bodies due to regulatory requirements. Universities with international collaborations may align their scales (4.0 or 5.0) with global standards for student exchange programs to maintain international compatibility. This is why it's crucial to select your specific university in our calculator to get the most accurate conversion. Generic formulas may not reflect your institution's official methodology.
