About this calculator
Convert your CGPA to a percentage using the formula of your university: CBSE ×9.5, a direct ×10, Anna University, VTU or Mumbai University, or the 4-point and 7-point scales.
The result also shows an approximate grade and class (Distinction, First Class, etc.).
How to use it
- Enter your CGPA.
- Choose the grading scale and formula.
- Press Convert.
Which formula to trust
No single national formula exists. Common conversions: CBSE, % = CGPA × 9.5. Several universities use CGPA × 10 (Anna University style) or a direct formula. VTU uses (CGPA − 0.75) × 10. Mumbai University uses 7.1 × CGPA + 11 for its 10-point scale. Always use the formula printed by your own university or the recruiter, because these can differ by several percentage points.
Worked example
CGPA 8.5
| CBSE (× 9.5) | 80.75% |
| Direct (× 10) | 85% |
| VTU ((8.5 − 0.75) × 10) | 77.5% |
