The general formula used by CBSE and most Indian universities is Percentage = CGPA × 9.5. University-specific formulas: VTU = (CGPA − 0.75) × 10, Anna University = (CGPA − 0.5) × 10, Mumbai (Engineering) = 7.1 × CGPA + 12, KTU = piecewise (10×CGPA minus 7.5 / 6 / 5 depending on CGPA band).

Frequently asked

How do I convert CGPA to percentage?

Multiply your CGPA by 9.5. For example, a CGPA of 8.0 = 8.0 × 9.5 = 76%. This is the formula recommended by CBSE for class X and class XII results.

Why does my university use a different formula?

Engineering and technical universities calibrate the formula against their own grading distribution. VTU subtracts 0.75 because the lowest passing CGPA there maps to a different percentage than the CBSE scale. Use the dropdown above to pick your university.
