Reference
10-point CGPA in 0.5 steps. Most US grad programs accept the proportional formula; final reporting may use a third-party evaluator (WES / ECE / IEE).
| CGPA | GPA | % | Letter | Classification |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10.0 | 4.00 | 100% | A / A+ | Outstanding |
| 9.5 | 3.80 | 95% | A− | Outstanding |
| 9.0 | 3.60 | 90% | A− | Outstanding |
| 8.5 | 3.40 | 85% | B+ | First |
| 8.0 | 3.20 | 80% | B+ | First |
| 7.5 | 3.00 | 75% | B | First |
| 7.0 | 2.80 | 70% | B− | Second |
| 6.5 | 2.60 | 65% | B− | Second |
| 6.0 | 2.40 | 60% | C+ | Second |
| 5.5 | 2.20 | 55% | C+ | Pass |

By country
The proportional formula is universal; how each country reports it differs. Quick reference below.
Use the proportional formula; WES for final reporting
US graduate programs use the 4.0 GPA scale. Most adcoms accept (CGPA ÷ scale × 4) for shortlisting; final reporting often goes through WES, ECE, or IEE. 3.0 is the baseline for graduate admission; 3.5+ is competitive at top-50, 3.7+ at top-25.
Maps to degree classifications, not GPA
UK universities use First Class (≥70%), Upper Second / 2:1 (60–69%), Lower Second / 2:2 (50–59%), Third (40–49%). A 7.5/10 CGPA roughly maps to a 2:1 — typical Master's minimum. Some Russell Group programs require a First.
Most schools use 4.0 or 4.33
Most Canadian universities use the 4.0 or 4.33 scale (UofT, McGill, Western on 4.0; some on 4.33). For the 4.33 scale, multiply the proportional GPA by 4.33/4 to compare. Common admission floor: 3.0/4.0 (B average); 3.3+ for competitive programs.
7-point scale; 7.0 ≈ 4.0 GPA
Australian universities use a 7-point GPA scale (HD/D/C/P/N) for some institutions; many also accept a percentage. As a rule of thumb, a 7.0 Australian GPA ≈ 4.0 US GPA. Postgraduate admission usually requires a credit average (≈65%+) or Bachelor's with Honours.
1.0–5.0 with 1.0 highest; modified Bavarian formula
1 + 3 × (Nmax − N) / (Nmax − Nmin) converts your foreign GPA. For Indian 10-point CGPAs, an 8.5 typically maps to a German 1.7–2.0 — solid for Master's admission to most TU9 universities.
The standard formula used by US universities and credential evaluators is:
GPA on 4.0 scale = (Your CGPA / Max scale) × 4
For an Indian CGPA of 8.2 on a 10-point scale, this is (8.2 / 10) × 4 = 3.28 GPA.
