CGPA to GPA converter: 10-point to 4.0, percentage and marks

The simplest conversion keeps your score in the same proportion of the maximum:

$$\text{GPA out of 4} = \frac{\text{CGPA}}{10} \times 4$$

Example: a CGPA of 7.5 out of 10 is $7.5 \div 10 \times 4 = 3.0$ out of 4.

CGPA (out of 10)	GPA (out of 4)	Percentage
10.0	4.00	100%
9.5	3.80	95%
9.0	3.60	90%
8.5	3.40	85%
8.0	3.20	80%
7.5	3.00	75%
7.0	2.80	70%
6.5	2.60	65%
6.0	2.40	60%

The table uses straight proportion throughout. The same formula works for any pair of scales: change 10 to your scale and 4 to the one you need. A CGPA out of 5 converts with $\text{CGPA} \div 5 \times 4$.

Grading scales aren't just stretched copies of each other. On many 10-point scales a top grade is rarer than an A is on a US 4.0 scale, so a straight proportion can understate a strong CGPA, and a fixed table can overstate a weak one. That's why universities and credential evaluation services often use their own tables, and some convert each course grade rather than your overall CGPA.

So use the converter to understand where you stand, and when an application asks for a converted GPA, follow its instructions: some ask for the CGPA exactly as printed with its scale, some ask for an official evaluation, and some give their own conversion table. What a CGPA means as a class or division (first class, distinction and so on) is also set by each university, so check your own regulations for that.

• Straight proportion: $\text{CGPA} \div \text{scale} \times 100$. A 7.5 out of 10 is 75%.
• CBSE (× 9.5): CBSE gave students a formula for an indicative percentage from the grade points on their CGPA marksheets: multiply by 9.5. A 9.6 CGPA is $9.6 \times 9.5 = 91.2\%$. It's an approximation, not an exact mark.
• Your university's formula: many universities print one in their regulations or on the transcript, often a multiplier after subtracting a constant, such as $(\text{CGPA} - 0.75) \times 10$. Choose My university's formula and enter both numbers: 8.0 with that formula gives 72.5%.

If a form asks for a percentage and your institution has an official formula, use that one: it's the figure that matches your transcript.

To turn a CGPA into marks, first find the percentage, then take that percentage of the total:

$$\text{marks} = \frac{\text{percentage}}{100} \times \text{total marks}$$

Example (CBSE, out of 500): 9.6 × 9.5 = 91.2%, and 91.2% of 500 is $0.912 \times 500 = 456$.

Example (CBSE, out of 600): 9.2 × 9.5 = 87.4%, and 87.4% of 600 is $0.874 \times 600 = 524.4$, about 524 marks.

By straight proportion instead, 9.6 out of 10 is 96%, which is 480 out of 500. The two answers differ by 24 marks, which is why it matters which formula a form expects. Enter the total in Total marks and the converter does both steps.

The same proportion works in reverse. Set Out of to 4 and Convert to a scale out of to 10: a GPA of 3.2 out of 4 becomes $3.2 \div 4 \times 10 = 8.0$ out of 10. Again, this is an estimate. If you need an official equivalent, ask the institution that will receive it.

If you haven't worked out your CGPA yet, use the CGPA calculator first: it averages your semester GPAs weighted by credit hours. For a US high school GPA with honors and AP weighting, use the GPA calculator.

• GPA: a grade point average, for any set of courses.
• SGPA: the grade point average for one semester.
• CGPA: the cumulative grade point average across all semesters so far, weighted by credit hours.

A "CGPA to GPA" conversion usually means changing the scale (10 to 4), not the kind of average: your cumulative average stays cumulative. To see a percentage from any score, the percentage calculator works too.
