Frequently Asked Questions

What is the standard formula to convert CGPA to percentage?

The most common formula is: Percentage = CGPA × 9.5. This is used by many universities and accepted by most employers. However, some institutions use CGPA × 10 or other multipliers. Always check your specific university's conversion policy. For example, 8.5 CGPA = 80.75% using the 9.5 formula, which is widely recognized across India.

Why do different universities use different CGPA conversion methods?

Universities have autonomy in setting their grading systems. Some use 10-point scales, others use 4-point or different ranges. The difficulty level and grade distribution vary between institutions, making direct conversion challenging. UGC suggests the 9.5 multiplier, but universities may adjust based on their specific grading patterns and standards.

Do employers and graduate schools accept CGPA or require percentage conversion?

Most Indian employers and graduate schools accept both CGPA and percentage. However, some traditional sectors and government jobs still prefer percentages. For international applications, CGPA is often better understood. Always provide both when possible, and mention your university's conversion formula to avoid confusion during applications.

How do I convert semester-wise SGPA to overall CGPA?

CGPA is the weighted average of all semester SGPAs, typically weighted by credit hours. Calculate total grade points (SGPA × credits for each semester), sum them up, and divide by total credits. Most universities calculate this automatically. If you need manual calculation, ensure you use the correct credit weights for each semester.

Is a higher CGPA always better than percentage for competitive exams?

It depends on the specific exam and institution requirements. Some competitive exams and universities prefer percentage as it shows more granular performance differences. Others accept CGPA directly. For graduate school applications abroad, CGPA is often preferred as it's more internationally understood. Check specific requirements for your target programs or exams.
