What is CGPA?

CGPA means Cumulative Grade Point Average. It shows your average academic performance over a course or program.

Delhi University uses a 10-point CGPA scale. That means your grades fall between 0 and 10.

The higher your CGPA, the better your academic record.

Why You Need to Convert CGPA to Percentage

Many universities, jobs, and scholarship forms still ask for percentages.
Even though DU uses CGPA now, some places still want scores in percentage format.

So, you need a proper method to convert your CGPA into a percentage—one that Delhi University approves.

The Official DU CGPA to Percentage Formula (2025)

As of 2025, Delhi University uses this standard formula:

Percentage = CGPA × 9.5

That’s it.
No long steps. No confusion.

Just take your CGPA and multiply it by 9.5.

Is This the Same for All Courses?

Mostly, yes.
Delhi University applies this formula for most undergraduate and postgraduate courses.

But it’s smart to check your course’s handbook or the DU website in case your department has a specific rule.

Some technical or professional courses (like law, B.Tech, or MBA) might use their own formula or method.

How to Calculate It—Step-by-Step

Let’s say your final CGPA is 7.8.

Using the formula:

Percentage = 7.8 × 9.5
= 74.1%

That means your overall percentage is 74.1%

Another Example:

Your CGPA: 6.5
Multiply by 9.5:
6.5 × 9.5 = 61.75%

That’s your percentage.

This is just to give you a rough idea. Always use the formula for accuracy.

Where This Formula Is Used

• Job applications
• Higher education admission forms
• Scholarship eligibility
• Visa processing (some countries ask for % marks)

Many of these systems aren’t built to understand CGPA, especially outside India.
That’s why you need to convert.

DU Transcript vs Percentage Certificate

Your Delhi University mark sheet shows your CGPA.
But it doesn’t always show your percentage.

Some companies or universities may ask you for a conversion certificate or a percentage declaration letter.

You can request this from your college or use a printed calculation with the official formula.

Tip: Save a screenshot of the formula from DU’s website or notice board. It helps when someone asks for proof.

Common Questions Students Ask

Q1: Is 9.5 the same for everyone?
Yes, as of now. DU uses 9.5 as the standard multiplier for CGPA.

Q2: Can I round off my percentage?
If your result is 72.58%, write 72.58%. Don’t round it to 73% unless they ask you to.

Q3: What if I studied under a different grading scale?
Some older DU batches or affiliated colleges used marks. This formula only works if your result is in CGPA.

Q4: Can I convert semester-wise or only the final CGPA?
Use the final CGPA. Don’t convert semester CGPAs individually and then average them. That gives the wrong result.

What If You Forgot Your CGPA?

Check your final mark sheet. It usually shows your CGPA near the bottom.
If it’s missing, contact your department or use your online student login to get it.

Once you have the CGPA, apply the formula.
