Point scales are converted in proportion (for example 4-point = 10-point × 0.4). Percentage uses the CBSE formula (CGPA × 9.5). Many universities use their own formula, for example CGPA × 10 or (CGPA − 0.75) × 10. Try the CGPA to percentage tool.
Table A: Indian percentage to US GPA
| Percentage | Indian division | US grade | GPA |
|---|---|---|---|
| 60–100% | First class (incl. distinction) | A | 4.0 |
| 50–60% | Second class | B | 3.0 |
| 40–50% | Third class / pass | C | 2.0 |
| 0–40% | Fail | F | 0.0 |
Source: the India grading scale listed by Scholaro (scholaro.com) for most Indian universities, based on division (first class from 60%). The pass mark varies between universities (often 33–40%), and some, such as the University of Calcutta, use different bands. Course-by-course evaluators such as WES also map Indian marks by bands set for each university.

These are estimates
Official evaluations (WES, ECE and others) convert your transcript course by course, so your real GPA can differ from both numbers here. Use this for shortlisting universities, and quote your CGPA as it is on your marksheet unless a university asks for a converted GPA.
The two methods can differ a lot. Division tables are often kinder to Indian scores, because 60% and above counts as first class.

Is this the official WES conversion?
No. Official evaluations (WES, ECE) convert course by course using your transcript. This gives a close estimate using the widely used conversion tables, which is good for shortlisting universities.
Which GPA should I write on my application?
Usually your CGPA exactly as it appears on your transcript. Most universities convert it themselves or ask for an evaluation from a service such as WES. Use this tool to see roughly where you stand.
