How it Works

There is no single universal formula for mapping a 4.0 CGPA to a continuous percentage. However, the most widely accepted method for general estimates across many universities is the linear proportional method.

Formula

Percentage = (CGPA / 4.0) * 100

Disclaimer: This is a standard mathematical estimate. Always check your specific university's official conversion guidelines, as some institutions use discrete grade-mapping rather than continuous formulas.

Worked Examples

  • 3.5 CGPA: (3.5 / 4.0) * 100 = 87.5%
  • 3.0 CGPA: (3.0 / 4.0) * 100 = 75.0%
  • 2.75 CGPA: (2.75 / 4.0) * 100 = 68.75%
