Questions
What is 7.5 CGPA in percentage at VTU?
(7.5 − 0.75) × 10 = 67.5%.
Does the same formula work for SGPA?
VTU publishes the formula for CGPA. Many students apply it to SGPA for a semester figure, but placement and higher-study forms ask for the CGPA-based percentage.
Where is the formula published?
On VTU's website under 'CGPA standard formula', linked under the result.
Why not just multiply by 9.5 for everyone?
Because universities publish different formulas. 9.5 × CGPA is CBSE's indicative formula for Class 10; VTU subtracts 0.75 first; Anna University's 2021 regulations use CGPA × 10. Using the wrong one can move the result by several percent, which matters for job and admission cut-offs.
Which universities are included?
Only those whose formula we could read on the university's or board's own website: CBSE, VTU and Anna University (R2021). Each result links to that source. Universities that have no published formula, or that now print percentages from marks (Mumbai University from January 2026), are left out rather than guessed.
Is the converted percentage official?
The formula is the university's own, but the percentage on your transcript or a conversion certificate issued by the university is what employers and admission offices accept. Use this to check before you apply.
