CGPA to Percentage Calculator

The CGPA-Percentage Calculator is a simple and intuitive tool designed to help students convert their CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) to an indicative percentage and vice versa. In CBSE, CGPA is commonly used to report academic performance. This calculator allows you to seamlessly switch between CGPA and percentage formats, providing accurate results instantly.

CBSE Grading System

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) uses a nine-point grading system to assess student performance. This system aims to provide a holistic evaluation beyond just numerical scores. Here’s a breakdown of the grading system:

• Grades: The grades range from A1 (highest) to E2 (lowest), with each grade representing a specific performance level.
• Grade Points: Each grade corresponds to a Grade Point. For example, A1 carries a Grade Point of 10, A2 carries 9, and so on.
• CGPA: The Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) is the average of Grade Points obtained in all subjects, excluding the additional 6th subject.
• Minimum Passing Grade: The minimum grade required to pass a subject is ‘D’.
• Compartment Exams: Students who receive E1 or E2 grades in any subject must appear for compartment exams to improve their scores and qualify in those subjects.
• Qualitative Assessment: The grading system not only reflects academic performance but also encourages a broader perspective on student evaluation, considering factors like co-scholastic activities and overall development.

Marks	Grades	Grade Point
91-100	A1	10
81-90	A2	9
71-80	B1	8
61-70	B2	7
51-60	C1	6
41-50	C2	5
33-40	D	4
21-32	E1	0
20 & below	E2	0

This grading system provides a comprehensive evaluation of students’ abilities and encourages a more well-rounded approach to education.

Converting CGPA to Percentage

To convert CGPA to an indicative percentage, multiply the CGPA by 9.5. This conversion is often necessary for college applications and other purposes where a percentage score is required.

Why multiply by 9.5?

The factor of 9.5 is used because the CBSE analyzed past results and found that the average marks of students scoring between 91 and 100 (A1 grade) were close to 95. Since the equivalent Grade Point for this range is 10, dividing the average result (95) by 10 gives 9.5.

Important Points:

• The minimum qualifying grade for passing the board exam is D.
• Students with E1 or E2 grades must appear for compartment exams.
• CGPA is converted to an indicative percentage by multiplying it by 9.5.
