Worked example
The official National Institute of Educational Planning and Administration (NIEPA), New Delhi formula is Piecewise (NIEPA Table 2, 9-point scale): CGPA 0.5–7.4 → 5 × CGPA + 37.5; 7.5–8.4 → 10 × CGPA; 8.5–9.0 → 30 × CGPA − 170 (9.0 = 100%). CGPA 1.4, 2.4 … 7.4 are set 0.1 lower (e.g. 7.4 → 74.4%).. Starting from a percentage of 72.5%, the formula reverses to a CGPA of about 7 on the 9-point scale. You can check this by running 7 through the forward National Institute of Educational Planning and Administration (NIEPA), New Delhi CGPA to percentage calculator — it returns 72.5%, 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.
