Yes, your percentage may increase or decrease when converting CGPA to percentage, depending on the formula used by the university.

Each institution or country can use a different conversion method. For example, some Indian universities multiply CGPA by 9.5, while others use their own formulas. International universities, like those in Germany, use different systems that may not directly match Indian percentages.

Always check the specific conversion method required by the university you are applying to.
