CGPA Calculator India — UGC & CBSE 10-Point Scale
Calculate CGPA on the UGC 10-point scale used across Indian universities and CBSE boards. Enter your SGPA and credits per semester.
How this works
India (CBSE/UGC 10-point) uses the 10.0 scale. Add each semester's GPA and credits above; we credit-weight them to produce your cumulative GPA and an approximate percentage using the local conversion rule.
Formula
CGPA = Σ(SGPA × Credits) ÷ Σ(Credits). Percentage ≈ CGPA × 9.5 (CBSE).
Example
(8.2×18) + (8.6×16) = 147.6 + 137.6 = 285.2. Total credits = 34. CGPA = 285.2 ÷ 34 ≈ 8.39. Percentage ≈ 79.7%.
Notes
- UGC (University Grants Commission) uses a 10-point scale for undergraduate and postgraduate programs.
- CBSE Class X and XII results use CGPA out of 10 with the ×9.5 percentage rule.
- Autonomous universities (VTU, Anna, SRM, VIT, JNTUH, AKTU) publish their own conversion tables.
Terminology
- SGPA
- Semester GPA — the same idea as GPA, using the semester-based terminology common in India / AICTE universities.
- CGPA
- Cumulative GPA — a credit-weighted average of every semester you've completed.
- GPA
- Grade Point Average for a single term, computed from letter grades and credit hours.
Grading policies differ by university, department, and academic year. Use your institution's official calculator or transcript office for anything that counts (transfer credit, scholarships, honors).
FAQ
How do I calculate CGPA in India?
Weight each semester's SGPA by credits, sum, and divide by total credits: CGPA = Σ(SGPA × Credits) ÷ Σ(Credits).
What is the CBSE percentage formula?
Percentage = CGPA × 9.5. So a 9.0 CGPA equals approximately 85.5%.
Is UGC scale same as CBSE?
Both are 10-point scales, but CBSE uses ×9.5 while some UGC universities use ×10 or their own tables.
How do universities in India calculate CGPA?
CGPA is the credit-hour weighted average of your semester GPAs. Multiply each semester's GPA by its credits, sum them, and divide by total credits.
Is this calculator official?
No. It uses the most commonly published formulas. Individual universities in India may weight or round differently — always confirm on your official transcript.
