CGPA conversion rules are used by Indian boards and universities. This calculator applies to India only.

Conversion rules are set by each institution and can change. Use the one your board or university publishes.

For planning, not for deciding. This tool gives estimates to help you plan and compare. It is not financial, tax, legal or medical advice, and it should not be the only thing you base a decision on. Check the numbers with your bank, lender, advisor or doctor before you act.

How it works

There is no single conversion. Each board or university sets its own rule, and an employer or admission office will usually accept the one printed by your institution.

CBSE’s formula is to multiply the CGPA by 9.5. Many universities simply multiply by 10. VTU uses (CGPA − 0.75) × 10.

Converting back divides by the same multiplier, or reverses the VTU formula.

The formula

CBSE: Percentage = CGPA × 9.5

Multiply by 10: Percentage = CGPA × 10. VTU: Percentage = (CGPA − 0.75) × 10.

A worked example

A CGPA of 8.4 is 79.8% under the CBSE formula, 84% under the ×10 rule and 76.5% under the VTU formula.

Frequently asked questions

Which formula should I use?

Use the one your university or board publishes. If you cannot find one, ask the institution for a certificate that states your percentage.

Why do the results differ?

Because the grading scales and the way marks map to grades differ between institutions, so the multipliers differ too.

Will companies and colleges accept this?

Often they ask for the official equivalence certificate. Check what the form asks for. This calculator gives an estimate only.
