Frequently Asked Questions

What is the official CBSE formula to convert Percentage to CGPA?

The official formula published by CBSE is: CGPA = Percentage ÷ 9.5. For example, if you scored 85.5%, your CGPA is 85.5 ÷ 9.5 = 9.0 CGPA.

How do I convert percentage to a US 4.0 GPA for Study Abroad?

For US university applications: 90–100% = 4.0 GPA (A), 80–89% = 3.5 to 3.9 GPA (A- / B+), 70–79% = 3.0 to 3.4 GPA (B), 60–69% = 2.5 to 2.9 GPA (C+ / C).

Why do different universities have different conversion formulas?

Each university board (e.g. VTU, Mumbai University, Anna University, CBSE) sets its own evaluation and relative grading criteria. Mumbai University subtracts a baseline constant (11 or 12), while CBSE uses an empirical 9.5 scaling factor.
