How to Use
- Choose CGPA to % to convert your CGPA, or % to CGPA to see the CGPA you need for a cut-off such as 60%.
- Type your CGPA (on the 10-point scale, for example 7.8) or the percentage.
- Pick your university's formula. The note under the box says where each one is commonly used, but check your own university's rule: it's often printed on the back of the mark sheet.
- The result updates as you type, with the usual class (First Class and so on). The table below shows the same figure under every formula.
- Use Copy result to paste it into a form, or Reset (or Esc) to start again.
Why there's more than one CGPA formula
India has no single national rule for converting CGPA to percentage. The common ×9.5 rule comes from CBSE's old Class 10 CGPA system, and many universities on the UGC's CBCS (Choice Based Credit System) use it too. UGC doesn't fix one conversion, though, so universities apply their own, and some worked out formulas from past results. This CGPA to percentage converter covers the common ones. For applications and certificates, always use the formula your own university publishes.
The common conversion formulas
| Formula | Commonly used by | Example (CGPA 8.0) |
|---|---|---|
| CGPA × 9.5 | CBSE's rule, and many universities on CBCS | 76% |
| CGPA × 10 | Direct conversion, e.g. Anna University and newer VTU schemes | 80% |
| (CGPA − 0.5) × 10 | e.g. GTU (Gujarat) | 75% |
| (CGPA − 0.75) × 10 | e.g. VTU (2015 to 2018 schemes), AKTU, Mumbai University | 72.5% |
| 7.25 × CGPA + 11 | Mumbai University engineering (older circular) | 69% |
The same 8.0 CGPA comes out anywhere between 69% and 80% depending on the formula, which is why it matters which one you quote. Universities change their rules between schemes and batches, so the list above is a guide, not an official record. The formula that counts is the one on your own mark sheet or in your university's ordinance.
Going the other way: the CGPA you need
Job notices often ask for 60% in graduation. Switch the converter to % to CGPA to see what that means for you: 60% needs a CGPA of 6.32 with the ×9.5 rule, 6.5 with (CGPA − 0.5) × 10 and 6.75 with (CGPA − 0.75) × 10.
Class by percentage (general)
| Percentage | Classification |
|---|---|
| 75% and above | First Class with Distinction |
| 60% to 74.99% | First Class |
| 50% to 59.99% | Second Class |
| 40% to 49.99% | Pass Class |
| Below 40% | Fail |
For job applications
Many companies ask for a percentage. If your mark sheet only shows CGPA, convert it with your university's official formula. Some companies take CGPA as it is. When you're not sure, give both and attach the conversion certificate from your university.
