Percentage to CGPA formulas
These are the three methods available in the calculator. Which one applies depends on your board, university or the application form you are filling.
10-point scale, divide by 9.5
CGPA = Percentage ÷ 9.5
Used by CBSE and many Indian boards and universities, where percentage is derived as CGPA multiplied by 9.5.
10-point scale, divide by 10
CGPA = Percentage ÷ 10
A simpler linear method used by some institutions and application forms.
4-point scale, approximate
GPA = (Percentage ÷ 100) × 4
A rough equivalent for 4-point systems. Universities abroad and credential evaluators often use their own grade bands instead.
