What is 8 CGPA in 4.0 GPA?

(8 ÷ 10) × 4 = 3.2 GPA on the 4.0 scale.

Will US universities use this number directly?

Some do; others recalculate course by course based on the grading scale on your transcript. WES — the most-used evaluator — uses a sub-scale that maps grade ranges to GPA points, but the linear formula is the closest single-number estimate.

My university uses a 7-point scale. How do I convert?

Use the proportional formula: GPA = (your CGPA ÷ your max) × 4. So 6.0 on a 7-point scale = (6 ÷ 7) × 4 ≈ 3.43.

Linear conversion: GPA = (CGPA ÷ 10) × 4. This is the formula most US application portals expect for self-reported GPA.

CGPA → GPA table

CGPA (10-point)	GPA (4.0)
6.0	2.40
7.0	2.80
7.5	3.00
8.0	3.20
8.5	3.40
9.0	3.60
9.5	3.80
10.0	4.00

How it works

Linear conversion: GPA = (CGPA ÷ 10) × 4. So an 8.5 CGPA = 3.4 GPA. Many US universities use their own course-by-course recalculation, but the linear formula is what WES and most application portals expect for the self-reported field.
