Converting Bangalore University percentage back to CGPA
Bangalore University (Karnataka) officially converts CGPA to percentage with % = (CGPA − 0.75) × 10. This page inverts that formula so you can estimate the CGPA behind a known percentage. Enter your percentage above and the calculator solves for the CGPA on the 10-point scale.
Worked example
The official Bangalore University formula is % = (CGPA − 0.75) × 10. Starting from a percentage of 77.5%, the formula reverses to a CGPA of about 8.5 on the 10-point scale. You can check this by running 8.5 through the forward Bangalore University CGPA to percentage calculator — it returns 77.5%, confirming the two directions agree.
Why this is an estimate, not an official figure
A college issues your percentage from your actual CGPA, not the other way around — so reversing the formula recovers the CGPA that would produce that percentage. When both numbers appear on your grade card, always quote the official CGPA rather than this estimate.
Source & verification
Bangalore University — Regulations Governing the Choice Based Credit System 2021 (Semester System) for the Four-Year Undergraduate B.Tech Programme under NEP-2020 (administered at University Visvesvaraya College of Engineering), Table 13 'Award of Class' note: '% Marks Scored = [CGPA − 0.75] × 10'; the table maps GPA bands to percentage bands
Bangalore University's CBCS-2021 B.Tech regulation states the conversion as % Marks Scored = (CGPA − 0.75) × 10 (CGPA 8.5 → 77.5%). It is corroborated by the regulation's Award-of-Class table, which lists matching GPA and percentage thresholds: Second Class at CGPA 5.75 (= 50%), First Class at 6.75 (= 60%), and First Class with Distinction at 7.75 (= 70%). (The Pass Class GPA floor is 5.00 because that is the minimum passing SGPA, while its percentage floor is the conventional 40%.) This is the same −0.75 offset family as VTU and JNTU Kakinada; note it is NOT a plain ×10 — using ×10 overstates the percentage by 7.5 points.
