The method to convert CGPA to percentage varies depending on the scale used.

  1. For a 10-point CGPA scale:

    • The common formula to convert CGPA into percentage of marks is:
      • Percentage = CGPA * 9.5
    • For example, if your CGPA is 8.5, then the percentage of marks would be 8.5 * 9.5 = 80.75%.
  2. For a 4-point CGPA scale:

    • The common formula to convert CGPA into percentage of marks is:
      • Percentage = (CGPA / 4) * 100
    • For example, if your CGPA is 3.2, then the percentage would be (3.2 / 4) * 100 = 80%.

The conversion factor might differ depending on the specific grading system used by your institution. Additionally, if you want to calculate exact marks, you will

Indian universities typically use a 10-point CGPA scale. To convert your CGPA to a percentage, multiply your CGPA by 9.5. For example, a CGPA of 9.0 would be equivalent to 85.5%.

This conversion is important because many universities abroad use a different grading system, such as a 4.0 GPA scale. By converting your CGPA to a percentage, you can compare your academic performance to the standards of international universities.
