The linear conversion
The simplest way to put a 10-point CGPA on a 4.0 scale is a straight proportion: GPA (4.0) = CGPA ÷ scale maximum × 4. For example, 8.2 ÷ 10 × 4 = 3.28. A 7.5 becomes 3.0, and a 9.0 becomes 3.6.
This is a rough guide only. It treats every point on the 10-point scale as equal, which is not how most evaluators work.
How universities abroad actually read your CGPA
Many universities ask you to report your CGPA on its own scale (for example 8.2 out of 10) and convert it themselves. Some ask for a credential evaluation. Evaluators such as WES look at your transcript course by course, convert each grade, and then work out a GPA. That figure can be higher or lower than the linear estimate, depending on your grades and institution.
So use this converter for a first idea of where you stand, not for the GPA box on an application. Always follow each university's instructions on how to report grades. For Indian forms that need a percentage, use the CGPA to percentage calculator. To work out a 4.0 GPA from letter grades, try the GPA calculator.
