How the CGPA to Percentage Calculator (CBSE × 9.5 and Custom) works
CBSE’s convention for its grade-based results is percentage = CGPA × 9.5, because the average mark of students in the top grade band was about 95%. Many Indian schools and some colleges still use it.
Universities set their own conversions, and many ask you to quote the formula printed on your transcript. Choose the custom multiplier if yours differs.
The formula
Worked example
