Ever looked at your report card and wondered, “How do I convert my percentage to CGPA?” You’re not alone!
As more universities and companies switch to grading systems like CGPA, it’s important to understand how your percentage compares — especially if you’re applying for higher studies, scholarships, or jobs.
Don’t worry — Jaro Education is here to break it down for you in simple terms.
What is CGPA?
CGPA stands for Cumulative Grade Point Average. It’s a way to measure your academic performance on a scale of 10, rather than in percentages.
For example:
10 CGPA = Excellent (100%)
8 CGPA = Very Good (~80%)
6 CGPA = Average (~60%)
How to Convert Percentage to CGPA?
The general formula used by many universities and institutions is:
CGPA = Percentage ÷ 9.5
Example:
If you scored 80%, then:
CGPA = 80 ÷ 9.5 = 8.42
If you scored 65%:
CGPA = 65 ÷ 9.5 = 6.84
Please note: Different universities may follow slightly different formulas, especially internationally. Always check the official conversion rule if you're applying abroad.
Why Is CGPA Important?
Global Recognition: Many international universities use CGPA instead of percentages.
Simplified Evaluation: It gives a clearer picture of your overall academic standing.
Modern System: More schools and colleges in India are adopting CGPA to align with global standards.
Useful for Applications: Whether it's for an MBA, job, or an executive course, many applications ask for CGPA.
