India uses both CGPA (cumulative grade point average on a 10-point scale) and percentage systems. Different universities and boards use different conversion formulas. This tool uses the WES-standard mapping as the default. For official applications to US universities, a WES evaluation is typically required.
| India CGPA | Approx. % | US GPA |
|---|---|---|
| 9.0 - 10.0 | 85-100% | 4.0 |
| 8.0 - 8.9 | 75-84% | 3.7 |
| 7.0 - 7.9 | 65-74% | 3.3 |
| 6.0 - 6.9 | 55-64% | 3.0 |
| 5.0 - 5.9 | 50-54% | 2.7 |
The Indian education system uses multiple grading frameworks. CBSE uses a 10-point CGPA scale (common conversion: CGPA × 9.5 = approximate percentage). ICSE and state boards often use direct percentage marking. University systems vary widely — some use the 10-point system, others use a 4-point scale, and many still rely on raw percentages. US universities typically require a credential evaluation from services like WES to standardize these diverse systems.
