Different institutions and employers want grades in different formats. Your degree shows CGPA but a job application asks for percentage. Or your transcript shows percentage but the foreign university application needs a GPA. This calculator handles the conversion using the most common formulas.
CBSE formula: Percentage = CGPA x 9.5 (reverse: CGPA = Percentage / 9.5). Many autonomous universities use Percentage = CGPA x 10. For GPA on a 4.0 scale, the formula is less standardised - rough mapping is 10-point CGPA / 2.5 = 4.0 GPA. Always verify with your institution which formula they officially endorse.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is CGPA x 9.5 accurate for all universities?
The x 9.5 formula is official for CBSE schools. For university-level degrees (B.Tech, B.Sc, MBA), different universities use different conversion factors - some use x 10, some have their own tables. Use the formula your university specifies in its grading policy.
How do I convert Indian CGPA to US GPA for grad school applications?
Most US universities accept a 4.0 equivalent for 8.5+ CGPA on a 10-point scale, 3.5 for 7.5-8.5, and so on. Many graduate applications also accept the CGPA directly alongside the country and scale. Check the specific university requirements.
Can I use this for semester GPA as well as cumulative?
Yes. The conversion formula is the same whether you are converting a single semester GPA or cumulative GPA. Just enter the value you have and it converts accordingly.
