What is CGPA?
CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) is a numeric measure that represents a student's overall academic performance across all subjects or semesters. Instead of showing marks or percentages, CGPA shows performance in the form of grade points (for example: 8.2 / 10, 3.5 / 4, etc.).
It is calculated by taking the average of all Grade Points achieved in each subject or semester.
CGPA helps universities and institutions compare academic performance more easily, especially when students apply for higher studies or jobs in different countries or universities where grading systems are different.
How to Convert Percentage to CGPA
Converting your percentage to CGPA 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:
CGPA = Percentage ÷ 9.5
For example, if your percentage is 77.9%, the conversion would be: 77.9 ÷ 9.5 = 8.2 CGPA. This method is widely used and trusted by students across India. However, some universities may apply a slightly different divisor, 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 percentage to CGPA is:
CGPA = Percentage ÷ 20
For instance, a percentage of 76% on a 5-point scale converts to 76 ÷ 20 = 3.8 CGPA. This approach ensures your CGPA 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:
CGPA = (Percentage × 4) ÷ 100
For example, if your percentage is 80% on a 4-point scale, the conversion is (80 × 4) ÷ 100 = 3.2 CGPA. This scale is common in many international colleges, and using the correct formula ensures that your CGPA is accurate for applications or transcripts.

FAQ – Percentage to CGPA Converter
1. How accurate is the Percentage to CGPA conversion?
Our Percentage to CGPA 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 CGPA is always issued by your institution. Some universities may use slight variations in their conversion methodology or apply additional factors. We recommend verifying the converted CGPA with your university's examination cell or academic office for official documentation purposes.
2. What is the standard formula for Percentage to CGPA 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 CGPA = Percentage ÷ 9.5 (used by CBSE and many central universities), VTU & MAKAUT use CGPA = (Percentage ÷ 10) + 0.75, Mumbai University applies CGPA = (Percentage − 11) ÷ 7.1, GTU & BPUT calculate as CGPA = (Percentage ÷ 10) + 0.5, 5-Point Scale uses CGPA = Percentage ÷ 20, and 4-Point Scale follows CGPA = (Percentage × 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. Can I use the converted CGPA for university applications?
Yes, absolutely. The converted CGPA is widely accepted for university applications, especially when applying to institutions that use grade point systems. Many universities abroad require CGPA instead of percentage, making this conversion essential for international applications. It's also useful for master's program applications, exchange programs, and scholarship applications that specify CGPA requirements. For official purposes, always mention "CGPA (Converted from Percentage)" and keep your original mark sheet handy. Some universities may request official conversion certificates from your previous institution or may have their own conversion standards.
4. Which grading scale should I select for conversion?
The grading scale you should select depends on where you plan to use the converted CGPA. If you're applying to Indian universities, most use the 10-point scale, so select that option. For US universities and many international institutions, use the 4-point scale as it's the standard in North America. Some European and Asian universities use the 5-point scale. If you're unsure, check the requirements of the institution you're applying to or consult their admissions office. Many university websites clearly state their grading system in the admissions section. The choice of scale significantly affects the final CGPA value, so selecting the correct one is crucial for accurate conversion.
5. Is percentage the same across all education systems?
While percentage is universally understood as marks out of 100, the way it's calculated and interpreted can vary across education systems. In the Indian system, percentage is calculated by dividing obtained marks by total marks and multiplying by 100. However, some countries may use different calculation methods or have different grading thresholds. For example, getting 85% in India might be considered excellent, while the same percentage in some countries might have different interpretations. When converting percentage to CGPA, these cultural and systemic differences are taken into account through university-specific formulas. That's why it's important to select the correct university and grading scale in our calculator for accurate conversion.
6. Can I convert CGPA back to percentage?
Yes, reverse conversion from CGPA to percentage is possible using the forward formula. For 10-Point Scale, Percentage = CGPA × 9.5 (Example: 8.5 CGPA = 8.5 × 9.5 = 80.75%). For 4-Point Scale, Percentage = (CGPA ÷ 4) × 100 (Example: 3.4 CGPA = (3.4 ÷ 4) × 100 = 85%). For 5-Point Scale, Percentage = CGPA × 20 (Example: 4.25 CGPA = 4.25 × 20 = 85%). For university-specific formulas like VTU, Mumbai, and others, the reverse calculation follows the same pattern. Use our CGPA to Percentage Calculator for quick and accurate reverse conversion.
7. Does this calculator work for all academic levels?
Yes, absolutely. Our Percentage to CGPA calculator works universally for all academic levels and streams. This includes school level education (10th and 12th standard/class), undergraduate programs (B.Tech, B.E., BBA, B.Com, BSc, BA, etc.), postgraduate programs (M.Tech, MBA, M.Com, MSc, MA, etc.), diploma courses, and professional degrees. The conversion formula is based on the grading scale used by your institution, not your academic level or field of study. Whether you're a high school student applying to universities or a graduate student applying for higher studies, the conversion methodology remains consistent based on the selected grading scale and university formula.
8. Why do different universities have different conversion formulas?
Universities adopt different conversion formulas based on their academic evaluation philosophy and regional education standards. Universities like VTU use (Percentage ÷ 10) + 0.75 to account for tougher evaluation patterns, ensuring students aren't disadvantaged when competing nationally through difficulty level adjustment. Universities like Mumbai follow formulas (Percentage − 11) ÷ 7.1 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.
9. What if my percentage is very low or very high?
Our calculator handles the full range of percentage values from 0 to 100. However, it's important to understand that the converted CGPA will never exceed the maximum value of your selected grading scale (4.0, 5.0, or 10.0). For very high percentages, the calculator ensures the CGPA doesn't exceed the scale limit. For example, on a 4.0 scale, even if your conversion formula suggests a CGPA higher than 4.0, it will be capped at 4.0. Similarly, for low percentages, the calculator will provide the accurate CGPA according to the formula, which might result in values below passing grades. Most universities have minimum CGPA requirements for passing, typically ranging from 4.0 to 5.0 on a 10-point scale.
