Worked example

Take a CGPA of 8 on the 10-point scale. Applying the official University of Delhi (DU) formula % = CGPA × 9.5 (CBCS undergraduate, all six semesters) gives a percentage of about 76%. Change the CGPA in the calculator above and the percentage updates instantly using this same formula — no rounding shortcuts.

Why the formula matters

It's tempting to assume CGPA × 10 everywhere, but that's only right for some universities. University of Delhi (DU) uses % = CGPA × 9.5 (CBCS undergraduate, all six semesters), so a generic multiplier would give a different — and wrong — number on your application. Using the official conversion is what keeps your percentage defensible if an admissions office or employer asks how you calculated it.

Source & verification

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.
