Demystifying SGPA to Percentage Conversion: Your Simple Guide

Converting your Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) to a percentage is a common need, often for job applications or higher studies. While methods can vary slightly between institutions, the most widely accepted and recommended formula by many universities is:

Percentage (%) = SGPA × 9.5

This multiplier (9.5) is derived from the relationship between the maximum CGPA (10.0) and the corresponding maximum percentage (typically 95%). Therefore, multiplying your SGPA by 9.5 provides a close approximation of your equivalent percentage score for that semester.

For example, an SGPA of 7.0 converts to approximately 66.5% (7.0 * 9.5). Always double-check if your specific university or college uses a different conversion factor, though 9.5 is the standard benchmark used across many Indian universities and institutions.
