CGPA to percentage calculator (India)

One CGPA, read under every formula you load. India publishes no national conversion rule, so the answer depends entirely on which university is doing the converting.

Enter your CGPA and read it under both published formulas at once. The defaults are the two this page verified at source: VTU's and Pune's. Replace them with your own university's formula whenever it publishes one.

Used only to warn you when a CGPA sits above the scale.

Every formula, on your CGPA

The arithmetic each formula performs, the percentage it returns, and the class that percentage earns on the table Pune prints beside its own formula.

The class each reading earns

The same percentage read against two published band tables. Where the last column says they differ, the class on your transcript is decided by which table your institution applies, not by your marks.

The formulas (editable)

Each row is a name, a number to subtract from the CGPA, and a number to multiply by. A blank subtract counts as 0. Change any value, or type your own university's formula into an empty row, and everything above recomputes.

Where the formulas come from. Visvesvaraya Technological University publishes “Percentage = ( CGPA – 0.75) * 10” under the heading CGPA STANDARD FORMULA, with the stated limit that it is the standard formula “for 2015,2017 and 2018 scheme only”. Savitribai Phule Pune University publishes “Percentage of marks obtained by candidate= CGPA* 8.9” in a conversion note dated 22 August 2022, together with the class thresholds used on this page. Both were fetched on September 18, 2026. Neither is a national rule, and neither university publishes the other's. Your own university's ordinance wins — edit the rows to match it.

Where the arithmetic ends

This page multiplies. It does not know which formula your university applies, whether your transcript is on a 10-point or a 4-point scale, or whether the employer or graduate school reading your application will accept a converted percentage at all. VTU's own page limits its formula to three named schemes, which is a reminder that these rules are revised and that a formula found on a forum may belong to a scheme you were never on. Where a university states no formula, the honest answer is that the CGPA does not convert, and a number produced here would only look official.

Questions

Which formula should I use?

The one your own university prints. India has no national CGPA conversion formula, and the two loaded here are not variants of one rule: they are separate decisions by separate universities, each published for its own students. If your institution states a formula in its ordinance, regulations or a circular from its examination section, type that formula into the table and ignore both defaults. If it states none, no arithmetic on this page can supply one.

Why do the two formulas disagree?

Because they are different lines. VTU subtracts 0.75 before multiplying by 10; Pune multiplies by 8.9 and subtracts nothing. Two formulas of that shape meet at exactly one CGPA, and these two meet at 6.8182, where both read 60.68%. Below that point Pune returns the higher percentage and above it VTU does, so the gap is not a constant offset that can be corrected for.

Which formulas are loaded?

Two, both copied from the publishing university on September 18, 2026. Visvesvaraya Technological University prints (CGPA minus 0.75) multiplied by 10 and states that it applies to its 2015, 2017 and 2018 schemes only. Savitribai Phule Pune University prints CGPA multiplied by 8.9 in a conversion note dated 22 August 2022. Both are linked under the table, and every number in the table is editable.

What class does my percentage earn?

That depends on whose table reads it, which is why the page shows two. Pune prints its own class thresholds beside its formula at 66, 60, 55 and 50 percent. The degree classes quoted far more widely, and documented that way by the established calculator this page cross-checked against, start First Class with Distinction at 75 percent instead of 66. A percentage between those two lines earns a different class name depending only on which table is applied to it.

Does this work for a CGPA out of 4?

Only if you supply a formula built for a 4-point scale. Set the scale maximum so the page can tell you when a CGPA sits above it, but understand that the loaded formulas were written for 10-point scales and multiplying a 4-point CGPA by 8.9 produces a number with no meaning. The page does arithmetic on the formula it is given and cannot tell which scale that formula was written for.

Can I share a result?

Yes. The CGPA and the scale maximum are stored in the page URL, and the copy-link button copies it. Edits made to the formula table are not stored, so a shared link opens with the two published formulas.

Calculator, not counselor: this page does arithmetic on the formula you give it. Which formula governs your transcript, and what a converted percentage entitles you to, are decided by your university and by whoever is reading your application, so confirm anything that depends on it with your school.
