Reversing the CBSE rule
If percentage = CGPA × 9.5, then CGPA = percentage ÷ 9.5. 79.8% gives a CGPA of 8.4.
Different rules give different answers
Universities that use × 10, or subtract 0.5 or 0.75 before multiplying, reverse differently. The table shows the CGPA under each rule.
Use the official rule
When an application asks for a CGPA, use the conversion printed on your marksheet or published by your university. The CBSE rule is a widely recognised default in India.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert a percentage to CGPA?
For CBSE, divide by 9.5, 85.5% ÷ 9.5 = 9.0.
What CGPA is 75%?
About 7.89 by the CBSE rule (75 ÷ 9.5), or 7.5 with a simple ÷ 10.
Can I convert CGPA to percentage instead?
Yes, with the CGPA to Percentage Calculator.
What CGPA is 60%?
By the CBSE rule (÷ 9.5) 60% is a CGPA of 6.32. A simple ÷ 10 gives 6.00, the VTU-style rule gives 6.75 and the −0.5 rule gives 6.50. Use whichever rule your board or university follows.
What CGPA is 85%?
Under the CBSE rule 85% is a CGPA of 8.95. The simple ÷ 10 rule gives 8.50, the VTU-style rule gives 9.25 and the −0.5 rule gives 9.00. The table on the page shows all four together.
Why does a percentage above 95% show a CGPA of 10?
Under the CBSE rule, 95% ÷ 9.5 is already 10, the top of the scale. Anything higher would go above 10, so the result is capped at 10. Other rules reach 10 at different points, for example 100% with the simple ÷ 10 rule.
How do I work out my percentage before converting?
Add the marks you scored, divide by the total maximum marks and multiply by 100. For example, 412 out of 500 is 82.4%, which is a CGPA of 8.67 by the CBSE rule. Then enter that percentage here.
What CGPA counts as first class or distinction?
Many Indian universities treat 60% as first class and 70% or 75% as distinction, but thresholds vary. By the CBSE rule, 60% is about 6.32 CGPA and 75% is about 7.89. Check your own university's rules.
If I convert CGPA to percentage and back, do I get the same number?
Yes, as long as you use the same formula both ways. 8.4 CGPA is 79.8% by the CBSE rule, and 79.8% converts back to 8.4. Mixing formulas changes the result: 79.8% with the simple ÷ 10 rule gives 7.98.
Can an application form accept a CGPA I calculated myself?
It depends on the form. Many employers and universities accept your own conversion if you state the formula, but some ask for an official conversion certificate from your university. Use this tool as a guide and the official rule where it is required.
Can I enter a percentage with decimals?
Yes. Drag the slider, which moves in steps of 0.1, or type an exact value such as 72.6 in the number box. The CGPA updates straight away and is shown to two decimal places for every formula.
