Math
Convert your CGPA or SGPA to a percentage, with an adjustable multiplier for your institution.
Default 9.5 is the standard CBSE conversion factor — change it if your institution uses a different one.

A CGPA of 8.6 on the standard CBSE 9.5 multiplier converts to 8.6 × 9.5 = 81.7%. Change the multiplier to 10 (used by some universities) and the same 8.6 CGPA becomes 86% instead — a meaningful difference for anything with a percentage cutoff, which is exactly why the multiplier field is adjustable rather than fixed.
Unlike a single fixed formula, CGPA-to-percentage conversion varies by institution and grading scale — CBSE's 9.5 factor is common but far from the only one in use across Indian and international institutions. Using the wrong multiplier for your specific board or university can misrepresent your percentage by several points, which matters for job applications and further education forms with hard percentage cutoffs.
The most common formula, used by CBSE, is Percentage = CGPA × 9.5. Other institutions use different multipliers, which is why this calculator lets you adjust it.
No — engineering colleges, universities on a 4.0 or 10.0 scale, and different boards often use their own conversion factor. Check your institution's official grading policy and enter the correct multiplier above.
Yes — SGPA (semester-wise) and CGPA (cumulative) use the same conversion approach; just enter your SGPA value in place of CGPA.
