What Is the CGPA to GPA Calculator?
Many universities in India and several other countries grade students using a 10-point CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) system, while most US institutions and applications use a 4.0 GPA scale. This calculator converts a 10-point CGPA into an equivalent GPA on the 4.0 scale using the widely used linear method, helping students applying abroad quickly estimate their GPA.
How to Use It
Enter your CGPA value (between 0 and 10) and the calculator instantly returns the equivalent GPA on the 4.0 scale. For example, a CGPA of 8.5 maps to a GPA of 3.4. Use it for graduate school applications, scholarship forms, or quick comparisons.
The Formula Explained
The simple linear conversion is:
$$\text{GPA (4.0)} = \frac{\text{CGPA}}{10} \times 4$$
This treats the 10-point scale proportionally against the 4.0 scale. Note that this is an approximation — some universities use their own official conversion tables or the WES grade-by-grade method, so always confirm with the institution you are applying to.
Worked Example
Suppose your CGPA is 9.2. Divide by 10 to get 0.92, then multiply by 4: \(0.92 \times 4 = 3.68\) GPA. A perfect 10 CGPA equals a 4.0 GPA, and a 5.0 CGPA equals a 2.0 GPA.
FAQ
Is this the official conversion? No. The \((\text{CGPA}/10) \times 4\) method is a popular quick estimate. Many universities and evaluators (e.g. WES) use detailed grade-based methods that may differ.
What CGPA equals a 3.0 GPA? Solving the formula, a 3.0 GPA corresponds to a 7.5 CGPA.
Does this work for percentage grades? No — this tool is for a 10-point CGPA. Convert a percentage to CGPA first if needed.
