Conversion Formulas Explained
Standard for all CBSE-affiliated schools and many Indian universities. Example: 8.0 CGPA = 76%.
Works for any scale. Example: 3.5 on a 4-point scale = (3.5 ÷ 4) × 100 = 87.5%.
Use your institution's published factor. Some universities specify 9, 9.5, or 10 as their multiplier.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
Instead: Confirm which formula your institution uses. Many private universities in India use ×10, not ×9.5.
Instead: CBSE's ×9.5 formula is the mandated standard — use it for all CBSE results.
Instead: Always note the formula (e.g. 'CGPA × 9.5 as per CBSE') when submitting converted figures.
Instead: Converted percentages are approximations. Official transcripts remain the authoritative record.
Instead: The ×9.5 multiplier is specific to 10-point scales. Use (CGPA ÷ Max) × 100 for other scales.
Why CGPA and Percentage Are Not Interchangeable
CGPA compresses marks into grade bands (O, A1, A2, B1…). Two students who score 91% and 99% in a course both receive an O grade and contribute identically to the CGPA — no information about the raw difference is preserved.
