3 Quick Steps to Convert CGPA into Percentage
-
Step 1: Check Your Grade Card: Locate your cumulative grade point average (e.g.
8.25) on your grade sheet. Ensure this is your multi-semester CGPA and not a single semester SGPA. -
Step 2: Choose the Correct Formula:
- For CBSE Class 10/12: Multiply your CGPA by 9.5:
Percentage = CGPA × 9.5. - For VTU / MAKAUT / AICTE: Subtract 0.75 and multiply by 10:
Percentage = (CGPA - 0.75) × 10. - For Anna University / AKTU / VIT: Multiply directly by 10:
Percentage = CGPA × 10. - For Mumbai University (CBCS): Multiply by 7.1 and add 11:
Percentage = (CGPA × 7.1) + 11.
- For CBSE Class 10/12: Multiply your CGPA by 9.5:
- Step 3: Document the Certified Result: When filling out job applications (TCS, Infosys, UPSC, SSC, Banking) or competitive entrance forms, round your result to two decimal places and refer to your university's conversion notification if requested during document verification.
