How to Evaluate a CGPA-to-Percentage Claim: the core idea

A conversion claim is valid only for the institution, programme and regulation version that defines it. Similar-looking formulas shared online may apply to a different batch or may be unofficial shortcuts.

A practical method for checking CGPA-to-percentage claims

Trace the claim to a current regulation, transcript note or authorised certificate process, then match its scope to the student's cohort. Preserve the original CGPA and label any converted figure with its method and source.

Checks and pitfalls for checking CGPA-to-percentage claims

Do not present an estimated percentage as an official equivalence. When no conversion rule is published, ask the receiving body whether the original CGPA is acceptable or which procedure it requires.
