Percentage and CGPA calculator

The short answer

Converts marks to a percentage, and CGPA to a percentage using the multiplier your own university publishes rather than the 9.5 that gets copied around as though it were a national constant. It is not.

Marks to percentage is simple arithmetic. CGPA to percentage is not, and that is where most of the wrong answers on the internet come from.

Whatever figure your own university publishes. There is no single national value.

Why there is no single CGPA multiplier

You will see 9.5 quoted everywhere as though it were a national constant. It is not.

Each university sets its own conversion, and many issue an official equivalence certificate rather than publishing a formula at all. Some recruitment bodies will only accept that certificate, not your own arithmetic.

So the multiplier here is a field you fill in, not a number this page picks for you. Use the figure your own university publishes.

Where the percentage actually matters

Two places, and they are different.

Eligibility. A notice that asks for “graduation with 50%” is applying a minimum. Whether your CGPA converts above or below that line can decide whether you can apply at all.

Document verification. What you claimed on the form is checked against your marksheet. A percentage you calculated with a multiplier your university does not recognise is a discrepancy waiting to be found.

If your marksheet states a percentage, use that number. Convert only when it does not.

Final-year candidates

Notices differ, and this is worth reading rather than assuming.

Some allow final-year candidates to apply provisionally against a date by which they must produce proof of passing. Others require the qualification to be complete on the crucial date. The paragraph on essential qualifications in your own notice settles it.

Questions people actually ask

Is 9.5 the correct CGPA multiplier?

Not universally. Each university sets its own conversion and many issue an official equivalence certificate rather than publishing a formula. Use the figure your own university publishes.

Should I use my marksheet percentage or convert my CGPA?

If your marksheet states a percentage, use that. Convert only when it does not — a percentage calculated with a multiplier your university does not recognise is a discrepancy that surfaces at document verification.
