- Select the officially applicable method.
- If required, enter your institution’s multiplier.

Methods
Linear percentage = CGPA ÷ maximum scale × 100
Multiplier percentage = CGPA × official multiplier
Worked example
A CGPA of 8.2 on a 10-point linear scale gives 82%. Using 9.5 would instead give 77.9%, showing why the correct institutional method matters.
Assumptions and limitations
The result is an estimate. Boards and institutions may use offsets, grade bands, subject rules or certificates rather than either displayed formula. Use official documentation for applications.
