CBSE CGPA to Percentage Calculator

Convert an older CBSE CGPA out of 10 with the legacy indicative formula.

Legacy formula: CGPA × 9.5 = indicative percentage

When to use the 9.5 conversion

Use this calculator only when your older CBSE scorecard reports CGPA and the application asks for the legacy indicative percentage.

Use marks for current results

If your result shows subject marks, use the CBSE percentage calculator instead. That avoids converting marks into CGPA and back into an approximate percentage.
