CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) is the average of grade points obtained across all subjects. Different educational boards and universities use different conversion formulas to translate CGPA into percentage. CBSE uses the formula: Percentage = CGPA × 9.5. Most Indian universities on a 10-point scale use: Percentage = (CGPA − 0.5) × 10 or simply CGPA × 10.
For example, a CGPA of 8.5 on the CBSE scale equals 80.75%, while on a 10-point university scale it could be 80.5% or 85% depending on the formula used. Always check with your specific institution, as conversion formulas vary across universities in India.
