CGPA to Percentage Calculator

There are several online platforms that offer CGPA to percentage conversion tools, catering to different grading scales and university-specific formulas commonly used in India. Most of students used the CGPA Convertor

Multiply your CGPA by 9.5 (CBSE standard). Example: 8.5 CGPA × 9.5 = 80.75%

Yes! 9.5 CGPA equals 90.25%, which is Outstanding grade.

We multiply CGPA by 9.5 because CBSE once studied past results and found that, on average, 1 CGPA point (on a 10-point scale) matched about 9.5 percentage marks. So Percentage ≈ CGPA × 9.5 became a simple conversion formula. It’s not a perfect math rule—just an approximation based on statistical comparison between CGPA and marks. Also, CBSE used 9.5 instead of 10 because a 10-point CGPA scale doesn’t exactly equal 100% marks in real exam scoring. Always check your board/college rule.

CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) is basically the average of your grade points across multiple subjects/semesters.

The exact method depends on your board/university, but the most common calculations are:

1. Simple average of grade points (subject-wise)

2. Credit-weighted average (most universities/colleges use this)

A “good” CGPA depends on your grading scale (out of 10 or 4) and your goal (job, higher studies, scholarships).

Here’s a practical guide for the 10-point CGPA system (very common in India).

CGPA out of 10: What’s considered good?

9.0 – 10.0 → Excellent / Top-tier:Strong for IIT/NIT-level competition, top MS/MBA admits, and premium placements.

8.0 – 8.9 → Very good: Generally strong for most internships, placements, and many master’s programs.

7.0 – 7.9 → Good: Acceptable for most colleges/companies; you may need stronger skills/projects to stand out.

6.0 – 6.9 → Average: Still okay, but you’ll want to build a solid resume (projects, certifications, internship).

Below 6.0 → Needs improvement

Some companies and universities may have eligibility cutoffs (often 6.0 or 6.5+).
