How to Convert 10 point CGPA to 4 point GPA?

Understanding the Difference Between CGPA and GPA

CGPA and GPA are both essential metrics for assessing a student's academic performance, but they serve different purposes and are used in different contexts. CGPA is primarily used in Indian institutions, while GPA is widely recognized by universities abroad, particularly for assessing international students.

What is CGPA?

CGPA stands for Cumulative Grade Point Average. It is a method of evaluating academic achievements at the school or college level for a group of students. This system provides a comprehensive measure of a student's overall performance throughout their academic career.

What is GPA?

GPA, or Grade Point Average, is a numerical representation of a student's academic performance in each of their courses. It is widely used by international universities to assess and compare students' achievements.

Converting 10.0 CGPA to 4.0 GPA

To convert an Indian CGPA to a US GPA, you can use a simple formula. Divide your CGPA by the maximum possible CGPA (typically 10) and then multiply the result by 4. This conversion provides the equivalent GPA on a 4.0 scale.

Example Conversion: 
If your university transcript shows a CGPA of 6.0 and the highest CGPA in your batch is 8.0, you can calculate your GPA as follows:

(6.0/8.0) X 4 = 3.
