Why Conversion is Mandatory?
Recruitment bodies like SSC (CGL, CHSL, MTS), UPSC (Civil Services), and IBPS (Banking) strictly reject applications with incorrect percentage entries. You generally cannot enter CGPA directly; it must be converted using your university's approved formula.
| Board / University | Formula / Multiplier | Example (8.5 CGPA) |
|---|---|---|
| CBSE / AICTE / Most Technical Univs | CGPA × 9.5 |
8.5 × 9.5 = 80.75% |
| Mumbai University (Engineering) | (CGPA - 0.75) × 10 for > 7.0
|
(8.5 - 0.75) × 10 = 77.50% |
| VTU (Visvesvaraya Tech Univ) | (CGPA - 0.75) × 10 OR CGPA × 9.5
(Check Year) |
Varies by Regulation |
| IGNOU / General Degree | Often direct equivalent or numerical average. | Refer Marksheet Back |
* Note: Formulas can change based on the year of passing. Always verify with the back of your official Degree or Final Semester Marksheet.
❌ Common Mistakes
- 🚫 Rounding Off: Never round 59.9% to 60%. If the cutoff is 60%, you are ineligible.
- 🚫 Using Wrong Multiplier: Don't assume 9.5 is universal. Many arts/commerce colleges use simple 10x or distinct tables.
- 🚫 Guessing: If no formula is printed, obtain a "Conversion Certificate" from your college registrar.
✅ Tips for Document Verification
- ✓ Keep a scanned copy of the conversion formula (usually on the back of the marksheet).
- ✓ For online forms, use the exact calculation up to 2 decimal places.
- ✓ If your specific board isn't listed, choose "Custom" and enter the specific multiplier manually.
