What is the Formula to Convert Percentage to CGPA?
Each grading scale has its own conversion formula. All three are clearly explained below.
Percentage to CGPA on 10-Point Scale (CBSE/UGC)
This is the most commonly used formula in India, recommended by CBSE and UGC:
CGPA = Percentage ÷ 9.5
Example: If your percentage is 76% → 76 ÷ 9.5 = 8.0 CGPA
Percentage to CGPA on 4-Point Scale (HEC Pakistan / India)
This scale is the official standard for universities operating under HEC Pakistan and is also used by several Indian institutions:
CGPA = (Percentage ÷ 100) × 4
Example: If your percentage is 80% → (80 ÷ 100) × 4 = 3.2 CGPA
Percentage to CGPA on 5-Point Scale
CGPA = (Percentage ÷ 100) × 5
Example: If your percentage is 80% → (80 ÷ 100) × 5 = 4.0 CGPA
