About this tool
Different Indian universities and boards use different formulas to convert CGPA to a percentage — engineering colleges following AICTE norms typically multiply CGPA by 9.5, while some universities like VTU or Anna University use their own specific formula or scale. This calculator lets you pick the right formula for your institution and get an accurate percentage instantly, useful for job applications, higher-education admissions, or scholarship forms that ask for a percentage rather than CGPA.
How to use it

Frequently asked questions
What is the AICTE formula to convert CGPA to percentage?
The standard AICTE-recommended formula is Percentage = (CGPA − 0.75) × 10, though many colleges also use the simpler Percentage = CGPA × 9.5. Check which one your institution officially follows, since the two can give slightly different results.
Why do different universities have different CGPA-to-percentage formulas?
Each university sets its own grading scale (10-point, and how each grade point maps to marks), so the conversion formula depends on the specific scale your institution uses. Using the wrong formula can under- or over-state your percentage.
Is the CGPA to percentage conversion accepted for job applications?
Most recruiters and application forms accept a percentage converted using your university's official formula, often alongside your original CGPA and grade card as proof.
Does this calculator work for CBSE and state board results too?
Yes — for CBSE Class 10/12 CGPA, the commonly used formula is Percentage = CGPA × 9.5, and this tool supports that alongside engineering-college formulas.
