The Complete
CGPA & GPA
Calculator Hub

CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) is the credit-weighted average of all your semester GPAs across your entire degree. In India, it is measured on a 10-point UGC scale. GPA (Grade Point Average) typically refers to the US 4.0 scale used internationally. Indian CGPA and US GPA measure the same thing — academic performance — but use different scales and grading cultures. An 8.0 Indian CGPA (×10 formula) = 80% ≈ 3.5 US GPA.

The formula depends on your university. IIT / NIT / VIT / SRM / Anna University / MAKAUT: % = CGPA × 10. CBSE / Delhi University / Punjab University: % = CGPA × 9.5. SPPU Pune / Mumbai University: % = (CGPA − 0.75) × 10. GTU / AKTU: % = (CGPA − 0.5) × 10. Always verify your specific university's formula in their official Academic Regulations.

Most major IT companies require a minimum of 60% (6.0 CGPA on ×10 formula, or 6.32 CGPA on ×9.5) for campus placement eligibility. TCS, Infosys, and Wipro all have this threshold. PSU companies (ONGC, BHEL, NTPC) typically require 65% (6.5 CGPA ×10). Product companies (Google, Microsoft, Amazon) evaluate holistically but typically shortlist candidates with 7.5+ CGPA (75%+).

Pakistani universities like LUMS, NUST, and FAST use a 4.0 GPA scale — the same as US universities. GPA = Σ(Grade Points × Credit Hours) ÷ Σ(Credit Hours). Grade points: A=4.0, A−=3.7, B+=3.3, B=3.0, B−=2.7, C+=2.3, C=2.0, C−=1.7, D+=1.3, D=1.0, F=0.0. This is different from India's 10-point UGC system. Dean's List at most Pakistani universities requires 3.7+ GPA.

Yes — every formula is sourced directly from official university Academic Regulations. The SGPA formula (Σ(Grade Points × Credits) ÷ Σ(Credits)) and CGPA formula (Σ(SGPA × Semester Credits) ÷ Total Credits) are the official UGC-mandated formulas used by all Indian universities. All calculations run locally in your browser — no data is sent to any server. We recommend cross-checking the result against your official university mark sheet.

All IIMs require a minimum of 50% in graduation (45% for SC/ST/PwD) — equivalent to approximately 5.0 CGPA (×10) or 5.26 CGPA (×9.5). However, competitive shortlisting at IIM Ahmedabad, Bangalore, and Calcutta typically requires 75%+ (7.5+ CGPA ×10) combined with 99+ CAT percentile. Tier-2 IIMs (Lucknow, Kozhikode, Indore) are competitive at 70%+ (7.0+ CGPA ×10) with 97+ percentile.

Converting for a US university application is a two-step process: (1) Convert CGPA to percentage using your university's formula. (2) Map that percentage to US 4.0 GPA: 90%+ = 4.0, 85–89% = 3.7, 80–84% = 3.5, 75–79% = 3.3, 70–74% = 3.0, 65–69% = 2.7. For official US applications, a WES (World Education Services) credential evaluation is typically required for formal enrollment.
