The Ultimate Guide to CGPA and Percentage Conversion 📈

Welcome to the ultimate online CGPA calculator and conversion tool. Whether you're an engineering student trying to find your final CGPA, or you need to convert your marks for an application, this guide will explain everything. We'll answer "what is CGPA?", show you how to calculate CGPA, and explore the conversion formulas for various universities.

What is CGPA? A Simple Explanation

The CGPA full form is Cumulative Grade Point Average. It is a weighted average of the grade points you have obtained in all the subjects you've studied over all your semesters. Unlike SGPA (Sessional Grade Point Average), which is for a single semester, CGPA gives a comprehensive score for your entire course duration.

How to Calculate CGPA from SGPA

The most common and accurate way to calculate CGPA is by using your SGPA and the total credits for each semester. This is the primary function of our SGPA to CGPA calculator.

CGPA Formula = Σ (SGPAᵢ × Creditsᵢ) / Σ Creditsᵢ

Where:

• `SGPAᵢ` is the SGPA you scored in the i-th semester.
• `Creditsᵢ` is the total number of credits for the i-th semester.
• The `Σ` symbol means you sum these products up for all your semesters.

For example, if you have:
- Sem 1: SGPA 8.5, Credits 22
- Sem 2: SGPA 9.0, Credits 24
Your CGPA would be `((8.5 × 22) + (9.0 × 24)) / (22 + 24) = (187 + 216) / 46 = 403 / 46 = 8.76`.

"Education is not the learning of facts, but the training of the mind to think." - Albert Einstein. Your CGPA is one measure of that trained mind's performance.

CGPA to Percentage and Vice Versa

Converting between CGPA and percentage is a frequent requirement for job applications, further studies, and eligibility criteria. However, the CGPA multiplying factor can vary significantly.

How to Convert CGPA into Percentage

There is no universal formula, but most universities provide one. A common method used by many institutions, including CBSE for its old system, is:

Percentage = CGPA × 9.5

However, some universities use different formulas:

• VTU CGPA to Percentage: `Percentage = (CGPA - 0.75) × 10`
• SPPU CGPA to Percentage: For Savitribai Phule Pune University, the formula can vary by year and course. A common recent formula is simply `Percentage = CGPA × 10`.
• Anna University: Often uses `Percentage = CGPA × 10`.

Our CGPA to percentage converter tab allows you to enter your own multiplying factor to get the most accurate result for your specific university.

How to Convert Percentage to CGPA

This is simply the reverse operation. The most common formula is:

CGPA = Percentage / 9.5

Our percentage to CGPA calculator tab lets you perform this conversion instantly. This is useful for filling out forms that require a CGPA when you only have a percentage score.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between GPA and CGPA?
GPA (Grade Point Average) is often used in a broader context and can sometimes refer to a semester's score (like SGPA). CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) always refers to the overall average across all semesters of a course.

Is 10 CGPA 100 in percentage?
Not usually. For example, using the CBSE formula, 10 CGPA is 95 in percentage (10 × 9.5). It rarely, if ever, equates to a perfect 100%.
