Percentage to CGPA
The two formula pickers are linked - change one and the other follows, so both directions always use the same university's rule.
CBSE quick table (CGPA x 9.5)

| 10.0 | 95.0% | 7.0 | 66.5% |

This free CGPA to Percentage Calculator converts your grade point average into the percentage figure that admission forms, job applications and eligibility cut-offs actually ask for - in both directions. Pick your board or university formula, type your score, and the conversion happens instantly using that institution's official rule: CBSE and AICTE multiply by 9.5, VTU subtracts 0.75 and multiplies by 10, Anna University multiplies by 10, and Mumbai University uses 7.1 times CGPA plus 11. The second card runs the same formulas backwards, turning a percentage into a CGPA, and the two formula pickers stay in sync so both directions always agree.
There is no single national conversion, which is exactly why students get caught out. A CGPA of 8.0 is 76 percent under CBSE rules, 72.5 percent at VTU, 80 percent at Anna University and 67.8 percent under Mumbai University's formula - the same grade, four very different percentages, and the difference can decide whether you clear a 75-percent eligibility bar. Always use the formula published by your own board or university, and if a form says "as per university norms", the figure from this calculator with your institution selected is the one to quote. If your university is not listed, the CBSE 9.5 rule is the most widely accepted default, but check your mark sheet or consolidated grade card first - many universities print their own formula on the back. Everything runs in your browser; your grades are never uploaded or stored.

Frequently asked questions
What is the CBSE formula for CGPA to percentage?
Percentage = CGPA x 9.5. So a CGPA of 8.0 equals 76 percent, 9.0 equals 85.5 percent and a perfect 10 equals 95 percent - which is why CBSE percentages never reach 100. The same 9.5 multiplier is also the standard AICTE formula used by many engineering institutions.
How do I convert percentage to CGPA?
Run the same formula backwards. Under CBSE rules you divide by 9.5, so 76 percent becomes a CGPA of 8.0. Use the second card on this page - it applies the exact inverse of whichever university formula you selected, including VTU's add-back of 0.75 and Mumbai University's subtract-11 step.
Why do different universities give different percentages for the same CGPA?
Because each university notified its own conversion formula when it adopted the 10-point grading system, and there is no single government-mandated formula for all of them. The differences are real and official - VTU's formula is deliberately stricter at the top, Mumbai University's gives a floor of 11 percent at zero. Recruiters and admission cells accept the figure produced by your own university's rule.
Is 7 CGPA a good score?
Under CBSE rules 7 CGPA is 66.5 percent, which clears the 60-percent bar many employers set but falls short of the 75-percent cut-off some companies and exams require. At Anna University the same 7 CGPA is 70 percent. Context and the formula both matter, so convert with the right rule before judging the number.
My university is not in the list. Which formula should I use?
Check the back of your mark sheet or your university's examination regulations - most print the formula there. Many universities follow the AICTE 9.5 rule, which is the CBSE option in the picker. If a form allows self-declaration, state the formula you used alongside the converted figure.
