How Bharathiar University converts CGPA to percentage

Worked example

Take a CGPA of 7.5 on the 10-point scale. Applying the official Bharathiar University formula % = CGPA × 10 (derived from the University's marks ÷ 10 grade-point table — not a stated conversion rule) gives a percentage of about 75%. Change the CGPA in the calculator above and the percentage updates instantly using this same formula.

Why the formula matters

Using the official conversion keeps your percentage defensible if an admissions office or employer asks how you calculated it.

Source & verification

Bharathiar University — Examination Regulations 2021 (students admitted 2021-22 onwards, affiliated colleges), Clause 4.3–4.4: 'A candidate who secures a minimum of 7.5 out of 10 CGPA … shall be deemed to have passed … in FIRST CLASS WITH DISTINCTION' and '… a minimum of 6.0 out of 10 CGPA … in FIRST CLASS'; grade table (CBCS page and PG CBCS Regulations 2010-11): 90–100 → 9.0–10.0 (O), 80–89 → 8.0–8.9 (D+), 75–79 → 7.5–7.9 (D), 70–74 → 7.0–7.4 (A+), 60–69 → 6.0–6.9 (A), 50–59 → 5.0–5.9 (B), 00–49 → U.

NO EXPLICIT CONVERSION RULE: the University's regulations never say 'percentage = CGPA × 10'. They map marks to grade points in bands whose ranges run parallel to marks ÷ 10 (90–100 → 9.0–10.0, 80–89 → 8.0–8.9, … 50–59 → 5.0–5.9), and class cut-offs line up the same way (CGPA 6.0 ↔ 60% First Class, 7.5 ↔ 75% Distinction). CGPA × 10 therefore gives the credit-weighted average percentage. STATUS 'verified' (DERIVED): the formula is derived from the University's own published grade-point table, not quoted from a conversion rule — show 'Derived from the official grade-point table' on the page with a 'confirm against your mark statement' disclaimer. PRE-2010 WARNING: Bharathiar's 2007–09 regulations used a 7-point banded scale (H = 7.00 … F = 3.00) with percentage-based classes — ×10 does NOT apply to those batches. Current rules: First Class with Distinction CGPA ≥ 7.5 (all papers passed at first appearance), First Class ≥ 6.0; pass 40% UG / 50% PG.
