SGPA to Percentage Calculator

Convert your semester grade point average (SGPA) into a percentage using the general UGC formula or your university's rule.

SGPA — the Semester Grade Point Average — measures how you did in a single semester on the 10-point scale. To turn it into a percentage, universities apply the same kind of formula they use for CGPA. This calculator converts an SGPA to a percentage with the general UGC rule by default, and lets you switch to a direct multiply-by-ten or your institution's specific formula.

How SGPA converts to percentage

Choose the formula your university uses. The UGC guideline subtracts 0.75 and multiplies by ten; some universities multiply directly by ten.

UGC: % = (SGPA − 0.75) × 10
Direct: % = SGPA × 10
Mumbai University (Engineering): % = 7.1 × SGPA + 11
FormulaSGPA 8.2 becomes
UGC — (SGPA − 0.75) × 1074.5%
Direct — SGPA × 1082.0%
CBSE style — SGPA × 9.577.9%

SGPA, CGPA and percentage

Don't confuse the three. SGPA is one semester; CGPA is your cumulative average across all completed semesters, weighted by credits; and percentage is either of those run through a conversion formula. To get your CGPA, average all your semester SGPAs by their credit loads, then convert that CGPA to a percentage. Converting a single SGPA gives only that semester's equivalent percentage, which is useful for internships or interim applications but isn't your final degree percentage.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert SGPA to percentage?
Use your university's formula. The common UGC rule is (SGPA − 0.75) × 10; some universities simply multiply SGPA by ten.

No. SGPA covers one semester; CGPA is the credit-weighted average of all your semesters. Convert the CGPA for your overall percentage.
What is 8.2 SGPA in percentage?
About 74.5% under the UGC formula, or 82% if your university multiplies directly by ten.
Which formula should I use?
The one your university publishes. If unsure, check your marksheet or ask the examination section, since that's the figure institutions verify.
