University of Delhi, Office of the Dean (Examinations) — Notification Ref. No. Dean (Exams)/2017/9126, dated 20 December 2017, adopting the CGPA-to-percentage conversion formula for final-year undergraduate students under the Choice Based Credit System (CBCS); reaffirmed in the University's 06.09.2022 corrigendum to the PG Bulletin of Information 2022 (Point C, p.74)
DU's official conversion for its Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) undergraduate programmes is: Final Percentage of marks (%) = CGPA based on all six semesters × 9.5. This was adopted by the Dean (Examinations) Notification dated 20 December 2017 — issued by a committee constituted for the purpose and approved by the competent authority — effective from the CBCS undergraduate examinations of May/June 2018 onwards (first CBCS batch admitted 2015). Per that notification, only the conversion formula (not the converted percentage) is printed on grade certificates and transcripts. The formula was reaffirmed in DU's 06.09.2022 corrigendum to the PG Bulletin, which directs Merit-Based PG applicants to convert their DU UG CGPA this way. Scope note: this applies to the six-semester CBCS UG cohort; DU's newer four-year Undergraduate Curriculum Framework (UGCF / FYUGP, 2022 onwards) and PG programmes are not covered.
