CGPA to Percentage Conversion in India

In India, the conversion of CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) to Percentage varies across different educational boards and universities. Understanding the specific formula for your institution is key to calculating your accurate percentage.

Common Formulas Used in India

Board/University	Formula	Example (8.0 CGPA)

VTU (Karnataka)	Percentage = (CGPA - 0.75) × 10	(8.0 - 0.75) × 10 = 72.5%

The CBSE factor of 9.5 was derived by analyzing the scores of students. It represents the average equivalent percentage for a given grade point band. Since a 10 CGPA includes scores from 91-100, the average is roughly 95%, so 10 × 9.5 = 95%.
