CGPA to Percentage Calculator: How to Convert CGPA into Percentage?

A 9 CGPA is generally considered excellent. This is because a 9 CGPA typically translates to an "A" grade, indicating a strong understanding of the subject matter and consistent hard work. Many scholarships and university admissions processes consider a 9 CGPA as an excellent academic achievement and it may increase your chances of being selected.

A CGPA to Percentage conversion certificate is an official document issued by a university or college that converts a student's Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) into an equivalent percentage score. This is important for Indian students applying to study abroad as many universities and colleges require applicants to submit their academic records in percentage format.

The relationship between CGPA and percentage is determined by the conversion factor 9.5. To convert percentage to CGPA, divide the percentage by 9.5. Conversely, to convert CGPA into percentage, multiply the CGPA by 9.5.

If your university provide your semester results in the form of percentages, then, you need to convert the percentage of your semester results into grades to send them to your desired university abroad because universities abroad require the results of your college degree in the form of a GPA or CGPA. 

Below are the steps to convert your semester percentages to a CGPA. 

1. Calculate the Grade Points for Each Semester: Each semester's percentage can be converted into a grade point using the university's accepted grading scale. For example, many universities may translate 90% and above marks to a 4.0 grade point on a 4.0 grading scale (commonly accepted by the universities abroad).
2. Calculating Weighted Grade Points: Each course has its own importance, based on which its weightage is decided upon by the university. University does it by assigning some credit points to each course. For the calculation of weighted grades for a semester, the grade points obtained in that semester are multiplied with the credit points. 
3. Calculation of SGPA: For the calculation of SGPA for a given semester, all the weighted grade points of the subjects taught in that given semester are averaged out. This is done by adding all (grade point * credit value) of all courses in the semester and dividing the sum by the total credit points involved. 
4. Calculation of CGPA: Now the CGPA is the weighted average of all the SGPAs earned across all semesters of a degree program. Hence, CGPA is calculated by dividing the total SGPAs by the total credits across all semesters. 

Let us understand this by the following example:-

Let's say a student has the following outcome of his two semesters' results:

• Semester 1: 90% (equivalent to 4.0 GPA), 15 credits

• Semester 2: 85% (equivalent to 3.5 GPA), 18 credits

• Semester 1 Weighted Grade Points: 4.0 * 15 = 60

• Semester 2 Weighted Grade Points: 3.5 * 18 = 63

• Total Weighted Grade Points: 60 + 63 = 123

• Total Credits: 15 + 18 = 33

• CGPA: 123 / 33 = 3.73 (approximately)

To convert CGPA to percentage, multiply your CGPA by 9.5. For example, if your CGPA at the end of a semester is 8.9474, your percentage would be 85%. This formula helps you understand your performance in terms of the traditional percentage scale.

For example, to convert a 7.6 CGPA into percentage, you must multiply the same by 9.5 as given below. 

Percentage: CGPA * 9.5 = 7.6 * 9.5 = 72.2 %

However, it must be noted that some universities also recommend multiplying the CGPA with 10.0 to get the percentage. Check out which of the above two does your university accept (either 9.5 or 10) before converting your CGPA to percentage to get a better understanding.  

The conversion of CGPA to percentage differs significantly between 10-point and 4-point scales due to their different structures and ranges. Let's understand the difference between them:

10-point scale:

1. Range: 0 to 10
2. Common formula: Percentage = (CGPA * 9.5)
3. Example: 8.5 CGPA = 8.5 * 9.5 = 80.75%

4-point scale:

1. Range: 0 to 4
2. Common formula: Percentage = (CGPA ÷ 4) * 100
3. Example: 3.5 CGPA = (3.5 ÷ 4) * 100 = 87.5%

Key differences:

The formula to convert CGPA into Percentage for engineering is the same as the CBSE's formula for converting CGPA to percentage, i.e. Percentage = CGPA * 9.5. However, some institutions incorporate multiplying your CGPA by 10 in this formula. Check your university's results and score calculation guidelines to know which one is the accepted value for conversion of your CGPA into percentage.

A 9.5 CGPA in percentage would be:

Percentage = CGPA * 9.5 = 9.5 * 9.5 = 90.25%

So, a 9.5 CGPA in percentage is 90.25%.

Similarly, a 7.6 CGPA in percentage would be:

Percentage = CGPA * 9.5 = 7.6 * 9.5 = 72.2%

So, a 7.6 CGPA in percentage is 72.2%.

To convert SGPA to percentage, you generally need to multiply your SGPA by 10 and then subtract 7.5 from it. Hence, the SGPA to percentage conversion formula is:

Percentage = (SGPA * 10) - 7.5

However, this conversion method can vary depending on the specific university or institution's grading scale. It's always best to consult your university's guidelines or academic office for an accurate conversion formula.

To get the percentage from CGPA of your CBSE class 10th result, you must multiply your CGPA by 9.5. Hence, the overall percentage can be calculated by applying the following CGPA to percentage formula. 

Overall percentage =9.5 * CGPA

A 7.6 CGPA is equivalent to 72.2%.

To calculate the percentage, the following CGPA to percentage conversion formula is applied:

Percentage = CGPA * 9.5

So, for a 7.6 CGPA:

Percentage = 7.6 * 9.5 = 72.2%

To find the CGPA equivalent of 75% marks, we can use the common conversion formula:

CGPA = Percentage / 9.5

So, for 75% marks, CGPA = 75 / 9.5? 7.89 

Therefore, a CGPA of approximately 7.89 corresponds to 75% marks.
