CGPA and GPA Scales: 4.0 vs 10.0 and What to Enter

2026-05-12

How cumulative grade point averages map across scales and why rounding rules differ by institution.

CGPA summarizes performance across semesters; the formula depends on credit weighting your school publishes.

Converting between 10-point and 4-point scales is approximate unless your university publishes an official table.

Employers and universities may ask for percentage equivalents—use their stated formula, not a random blog multiplier.

When in doubt, attach your transcript and the grading legend rather than debating decimals.
