Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert CGPA to percentage?
The formula depends on your university. VTU, Anna University and SPPU use Percentage = (CGPA − 0.75) × 10. CBSE and Delhi University use Percentage = CGPA × 9.5. Mumbai University uses a 7-point scale: Percentage = (CGPA / 7) × 100. Most companies simply use Percentage = CGPA × 10 for a 10-point scale.
Why do different universities use different CGPA formulas?
Each university sets its own grading policy and grade-point scale (commonly 10-point, 7-point or 4-point GPA). The conversion formula is designed so the resulting percentage roughly matches the equivalent percentage-based marking system that university previously used, which is why the formulas differ.
Is 60% or 6.5 CGPA good enough for placements?
Most private companies set a minimum eligibility cutoff between 60% and 65% aggregate for campus placements, while PSUs and government jobs (via GATE or direct recruitment) often require 60% or higher, sometimes with relaxation for reserved categories. Top-tier companies and consulting firms may look for 70%+ along with other skills. Cutoffs vary by employer and year, so always check the specific job posting.
