How IGNOU Grade-to-Percentage Conversion Works

IGNOU assesses many programmes using a letter-grade system rather than direct percentages. A commonly used conversion maps letter grades to percentage equivalents (A=80%, B=60%, C=40%), and your overall percentage is calculated as a credit-weighted average across all your courses, similar to a standard CGPA calculation.

Why Credit Weighting Matters

Courses with higher credit values represent a larger share of your total programme workload, so they should count proportionally more toward your overall percentage — which is exactly what the credit-weighted average formula ensures.

A Note on Accuracy

IGNOU's exact grade-to-percentage conversion can vary by programme and has been updated over different examination cycles. Always verify the specific conversion table applicable to your programme from IGNOU's official examination division before relying on a percentage for a formal application.
