How do you convert CGPA to percentage?
There is no single universal formula — it depends on who issued your CGPA:
- CBSE (India): Percentage = CGPA × 9.5 → 8.2 CGPA = 77.90%
- Most 10-point universities (VTU, SPPU, Mumbai, AKTU): Percentage = (CGPA − 0.75) × 10 → 8.2 CGPA = 74.50%
- Simple 10-point: Percentage = CGPA × 10 → 8.2 CGPA = 82.00%
- Pakistan HEC 4.0 scale: Percentage = CGPA × 25 → 3.5 CGPA = 87.50%
- Bangladesh 5-point: Percentage = GPA × 20 → 4.5 GPA = 90.00%
Always check your university's official conversion notification — some issue their own equivalence certificates.
