This CGPA to percentage calculator converts a grade point average into an approximate percentage of marks, for job applications, higher study forms and scholarships that ask for marks in percent.
Important: there is no single universal formula. Many universities and boards publish their own conversion rule. If yours does, use that rule (you can enter its multiplier with the “Custom multiplier” option). The results here are approximations.
Methods used
Bangladesh, 4-point UGC scale: under the UGC uniform grading system each 0.25 grade-point step corresponds to a 5% band of marks, from 2.00 at 40% to 4.00 at 80%. The calculator uses the lower edge of those bands: percentage ≈ 40 + (CGPA − 2) × 20. A CGPA of 3.50 therefore corresponds to about 70%.
CBSE, 10-point scale: CBSE has indicated that an approximate percentage can be found as CGPA × 9.5. A CGPA of 8.0 gives about 76%.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use this result on an official form?
Only if the form accepts an approximate conversion. Where an official conversion certificate or formula is required, get it from your university or board.
Why does CGPA 4.00 show 80%, not 100%?
On the UGC scale an A+ (4.00) is awarded for 80% or more, so 80% is the lowest mark guaranteed to correspond to a 4.00.
