Converting Kannur University percentage back to CGPA
Kannur University (Kerala) officially converts CGPA to percentage with % = (CGPA × 10) + 5 (PG CBCSS, 6-point scale, max GP 9). 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 9-point scale.
Worked example
The official Kannur University formula is % = (CGPA × 10) + 5 (PG CBCSS, 6-point scale, max GP 9). Starting from a percentage of 85%, the formula reverses to a CGPA of about 8 on the 9-point scale. You can check this by running 8 through the forward Kannur University CGPA to percentage calculator — it returns 85%, 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.

Kannur University — Modified Regulations for Post Graduate Programmes under the Choice Based Credit Semester System (CBCSS) in the Departments/Schools, effective from 2010 admission (U.O. No. Acad/C3/2049/2009 dated 05-04-2011), Clause 8.5: 'Empirical formula for calculating the percentage of marks will be CGPA × 10 + 5'; read with the Clause 8.1 grading table and Clause 8.6 overall-grade bands
Kannur University's PG CBCSS regulations use a SIX-POINT alphabetical grading scale on which the maximum grade point is 9 (not 10): A+ = 9 (90–100%), A = 8 (80–89%), B+ = 7 (70–79%), B = 6 (60–69%), C = 5 (50–59%), F = 0 (below 50%). Clause 8.5 gives the conversion as an empirical formula: Percentage of marks = (CGPA × 10) + 5 (CGPA 8.0 → 85%; maximum CGPA 9 → 95%). The '+5' makes the formula return the midpoint of each grade's marks band (e.g. grade A = grade point 8 = 80–89% → 85%), which is why it is described as empirical/approximate. Because the scale maxes at 9, a CGPA above 9 is not possible and plain ×10 does not apply. Scope: this is the PG (Department/School) CBCSS regulation; Kannur's affiliated-college UG programmes follow separate regulations and may use a different scale/formula.
