Tips & Explanation
- CGPA to Percentage: In the Indian education system, CGPA is converted to percentage using the formula:
Percentage = CGPA × 9.5. This formula is generally applicable for most Indian universities. - Percentage to CGPA: To convert your percentage back to CGPA, use the formula:
CGPA = Percentage ÷ 9.5. This conversion can be useful for students applying to institutions that follow CGPA. - Why 9.5? The factor of 9.5 is used because it is determined by many Indian universities to map the CGPA scale (0 to 10) to a percentage scale (0 to 100). It has been found that this factor provides an accurate conversion.
- Limitations: This conversion formula works for the general educational systems following the CGPA model. However, individual universities may use slightly different methods, so always verify with your institution’s guidelines.
