You should know the result in terms of percentage. So, here we have provided the steps on how to calculate the percentage from CGPA.

So an indicative equivalent percentage of the grade point can be calculated as:

Subject-wise percentage = Grade point (GP) obtained by the student x 9.5

And the overall percentage of marks = 9.5 x CGPA

To convert the CGPA to a Percentage, multiply your CGPS by 9.5. For example, if your CGPA obtained was 9. So, the percentage for it will be 85.5% as shown below;

9×9.5 = 85.5%

How To Calculate CBSE Percentage from CGPA?

To convert CGPA into a percentage, multiply the CGPA by 9.5 to get the overall indicative percentage. You might Now students might think, why multiply with 9.5 only? It is because the Board analyzed the results of the last five years and calculated the average marks of all candidates who had scored between 91 and 100.

That average turned out to be close to 95 marks. The equivalent Grade Point for the 91-100 band (A1 grade) of marks is 10, then divided the average result of 95 by 10. The result is 9.5.

You should know that the CBSE board disclaims that the percentage is only an approximation and not an exact percentage.

To understand it in a better way, let’s take an example to convert CGPA to GPA:

For example, if a student scored

Subject 1 – 9

Subject 2 – 8

Subject 3 – 7

Subject 4 – 9

Subject 5 – 7

So, now the sum of the Grade Points (GP) will be: 9+8+7+9+7 = 40

Dividing the sum with 5 will be 40/ 5 = 8

8 is the CGPA of the student.

To find out the approximate percentage, multiply the CGPA with 9.5

that is, 8x 9.5 = 76%

So, the approximate percentage obtained by a student is 76%.
