About the CGPA to Percentage Calculator
Enter your CGPA and choose the conversion rule: CBSE's × 9.5, × 10, or your university's own multiplier. The calculator gives the equivalent percentage.
The CBSE's indicative conversion is percentage = CGPA × 9.5, based on the average of past results. Many universities use their own rule (often × 10, sometimes with an offset), which is printed on the marksheet or in the regulations.
The formula
Percentage = CGPA × 9.5 (CBSE)
Worked example
A CGPA of 8.5
- CBSE rule: 8.5 × 9.5 = 80.75%
- × 10 rule: 85%
- Quote the rule your institution uses
Things to keep in mind
- Employers and foreign universities may ask for the formula your institution uses; check before quoting a percentage.
