Formula

Assumptions
- The 9.5 multiplier is a widely-cited convention for a 10-point CGPA scale in India, but it is not universal — some universities use a different formula (e.g. (CGPA − 0.75) × 10).
- Assumes your CGPA is already on a 10-point scale — convert first if yours uses a different scale.
Frequently asked questions
Is the 9.5 multiplier used by every university?
No — it's a common convention (originally popularized by AICTE-affiliated institutions and widely adopted since), but some universities use their own formula. Check your official transcript or university guidelines for the exact conversion.
What if my university uses a different formula, like (CGPA − 0.75) × 10?
This calculator only supports the multiplier-based formula. For a subtract-then-multiply formula, compute it manually: (CGPA − 0.75) × 10.
Why do employers sometimes ask for a percentage instead of CGPA?
Many recruitment eligibility criteria and some foreign university applications are historically expressed in percentage terms, so institutions provide (or students compute) an equivalent conversion for those contexts.
