What is CGPA to Percentage Conversion?
In India, most universities under UGC, AICTE, and CBSE use a 10-Point Grading System (CGPA). However, many employers and older institutions still require Marks in Percentage.
Why Convert?
Companies like TCS, Infosys, and Wipro often demand a minimum of "60% aggregate". Since your grade card shows CGPA (e.g., 6.5), you must use a conversion formula to prove you are eligible.
