What is CGPA?
CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) is a grading system used by educational institutions to evaluate a student’s overall academic performance. It represents the average of grade points obtained in all subjects over a specific period. CGPA is measured on a scale of 0 to 10, where 10 is the highest achievable grade point.
Conversion Formula
Formula:
Percentage = CGPA × 9.5
The formula above is the standard conversion method used by most educational boards and universities in India. The multiplier 9.5 is derived from the fact that the average percentage of students who score a CGPA of 10 is 95%.
Example Calculation
Example: If a student has a CGPA of 8.5
Percentage = 8.5 × 9.5 = 80.75%
So, a CGPA of 8.5 is equivalent to 80.75%
