Converting University of Delhi (DU) percentage back to CGPA
University of Delhi (DU) (Delhi) officially converts CGPA to percentage with % = CGPA × 9.5 (CBCS undergraduate, all six semesters). This page inverts that formula so you can estimate the CGPA behind a known percentage — useful when a scholarship form, job portal or foreign application asks for CGPA but your marksheet only shows a percentage. Enter your percentage above and the calculator solves for the CGPA on the 10-point scale.
Worked example
The official University of Delhi (DU) formula is % = CGPA × 9.5 (CBCS undergraduate, all six semesters). To go the other way, you rearrange it to solve for CGPA. Starting from a percentage of 76%, the formula reverses to a CGPA of about 8 on the 10-point scale. You can check this by running 8 through the forward University of Delhi (DU) CGPA to percentage calculator — it returns 76%, confirming the two directions agree.
Why this is an estimate, not an official figure
A university issues your percentage from your actual CGPA, not the other way around — so reversing the formula recovers the CGPA that would produce that percentage. It matches in almost every case, but rounding on your transcript (for example a percentage printed to one decimal place) can shift the back-calculated CGPA slightly. When both numbers appear on your grade card, always quote the official CGPA rather than this estimate.

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.
