10-point CGPA to 4.0
CGPA to GPA Converter (10-Point to 4.0)
Convert a 10-point CGPA to a 4.0 value by proportional scaling, plus the CBSE indicative percentage (9.5 x CGPA). Estimates only; check the receiving school.
Check with the receiving school or credential evaluator. Many convert course by course with their own tables and may not use an overall CGPA conversion at all.
Your CGPA, converted
8.4 / 10 x 4. A rough comparison, not an official conversion.
CBSE: percentage = 9.5 x CGPA. Applies to CBSE grade points only; other boards and universities use their own formulas.
Check the receiving school or credential evaluator before you use any of these numbers on an application.
Grades you enter stay in this browser and are not uploaded or saved. Results are estimates: there is no single official conversion, and the school or credential evaluator reading your grades decides how they are converted. Check with them before you rely on a number.
Two numbers, two different jobs
The proportional 4.0 value divides your CGPA by the scale maximum and multiplies by 4. It is easy to compute and easy to compare, but it is not a method evaluators publish as official. The CBSE percentage uses the multiplier CBSE publishes for its own grade points: indicative percentage = 9.5 x CGPA. It is shown only when the scale maximum is 10, and it does not apply to other boards or to university CGPAs.
Why you should still check
Credential evaluators such as WES convert course by course using country-specific grade tables, and universities may do their own evaluation. If an application asks for a converted GPA, follow the instructions of that school or evaluator rather than this estimate.
