How do universities convert Indian CGPA and percentages for eligibility?
25 Jun 2026 · Answered by Tharun Kumar U · 1 min read
Universities in India use different formulas to convert CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) to percentage, and the method can vary by institution.
- CGPA × 10: Common at many Indian universities.
- CGPA × 9.5: Used by CBSE and some universities.
- Some universities have unique formulas, such as (CGPA - 0.75) × 10.
Always check your university’s official guidelines, as the required conversion formula for eligibility may be specific to your institution and is subject to change. If you need help understanding which formula applies to your case, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
