Quick answer

There is no single CGPA formula: CBSE uses CGPA × 9.5 (8.2 → 77.9%), VTU’s 2015 to 2018 schemes use (CGPA − 0.75) × 10 (8.2 → 74.5%), JNTUH uses (CGPA − 0.5) × 10, and KTU switched to CGPA × 10 in June 2023. The rule printed on your own grade card is the one that counts.

On a 10-point scale.

77.90%
Formula used
CGPA × 9.5

CBSE (Class 10 CGPA): CGPA × 9.5. Applies to CBSE Class 10 results under CCE, which reported grades and CGPA rather than marks.

Confirmed in the body’s own document: CBSE CCE certificate: "Overall indicative percentage of marks = 9.5 × CGPA".

Every formula, with its source

"Official" means we read the rule in the board's or university's own document (or a copy of it on an affiliated college's site); "reported" means it is consistently reported but we could not read it in an official document. Rules change between regulation years, so check which scheme you were admitted under.

SPPU's band formula

Savitribai Phule Pune University converts by grade band (Circular 332/2020): O (9.50 and above) 20 × CGPA − 100; A+ (8.25 to 9.49) 12 × CGPA − 25; A (6.75 to 8.24) 10 × CGPA − 7.5; B+ (5.75 to 6.74) 5 × CGPA + 26.25; B and C (4.75 to 5.74) 10 × CGPA − 2.5; D (4.00 to 4.74) 6.6 × CGPA + 13.6. A 9.0 is 83%, a 7.5 is 67.5%.

Same CGPA, different percentages

An 8.0 CGPA is 76% under CBSE's rule, 80% under CGPA × 10 and 72.5% under (CGPA − 0.75) × 10: a 7.5-point spread that can decide an "at least 75%" eligibility cut-off. That is why the converter shows the rule and its source with every result, and offers a custom formula for anything not listed.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert CGPA to percentage?

Use the formula your own board or university publishes, usually printed on the back of the grade card. CBSE’s is CGPA × 9.5; VTU’s 2015 to 2018 schemes use (CGPA − 0.75) × 10; JNTUH and GTU use (CGPA − 0.5) × 10; Anna University, KTU (since June 2023) and AKTU’s revised ordinance use CGPA × 10. There is no national formula, and the same CGPA gives different percentages under different rules.

Why is CBSE’s factor 9.5?

CBSE derived it from the average marks of students in each grade band when it reported Class 10 results as grades. It is an indicative conversion, which CBSE’s own certificates state: “Overall indicative percentage of marks = 9.5 × CGPA”.

How do I calculate CGPA from SGPA?

CGPA = Σ(SGPA × credits of that semester) ÷ Σ credits. If every semester has the same credits, that is just the average of the SGPAs; if not, heavier semesters count for more, which is why a simple average can be off by a tenth or more.

How do I convert a percentage back to CGPA?

Reverse the same formula: for CBSE, CGPA = percentage ÷ 9.5; for (CGPA − 0.75) × 10, CGPA = percentage ÷ 10 + 0.75. Choose “Percentage → CGPA” above. A result above 10 means the percentage is not reachable under that formula.

Which formula should I use on a job or visa application?

The one your university certifies. Many employers and foreign universities ask for the conversion formula or a certificate from the examination section; quoting your university’s own rule, with its source, avoids an awkward mismatch later.
