Converting Between CGPA and GPA Scales

Indian universities typically grade on a 10-point CGPA scale, while US universities use a 4.0-point GPA scale. When applying to US graduate programs, this calculator uses the standard proportional scaling method:

GPA (4.0 scale) = (CGPA ÷ 10) × 4

CGPA (10-point) = (GPA ÷ 4) × 10

An Important Caveat

This proportional method is a widely used approximation, but it doesn't perfectly capture the non-linear grading philosophy differences between the two systems (US GPA scales are often more compressed at the top, where getting straight A's is more achievable than a perfect 10 CGPA in many Indian grading systems). Many US universities use WES (World Education Services) or similar credential evaluation services for a more standardized, officially recognized conversion for admissions purposes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the official conversion universities use?

This uses the common proportional scaling method as a quick estimate. Many US universities require an official credential evaluation (e.g., from WES) for admissions purposes, which may use a different, more nuanced methodology.

Why might my actual WES-evaluated GPA differ from this calculation?

Credential evaluation services often account for grading distribution differences between countries and institutions, rather than using a simple linear proportional scale, which can produce a different result than this quick estimate.
