Are you struggling to convert your academic grades for a job application or scholarship? You aren’t alone—calculating CGPA to Percentage in Gujarat can be confusing because the “one size fits all” rule of multiplying by 9.5 simply doesn’t apply everywhere.
Whether you are an engineering student at GTU, an arts student at Gujarat University (GU), or pursuing a degree at Sardar Patel University (SPU), using the wrong formula can lead to errors in your final percentage and even rejection during document verification. In this guide, we provide the official, university-specific formulas for 2025 so you can calculate your exact percentage with confidence.
1. The Two Most Common CGPA to Percentage Formulas
Before you find your specific university below, understand that 90% of Gujarat’s universities fall into one of these two categories:
- Type A: The “Technical” Formula (Used by GTU)
- Rule: Subtract 0.5, then multiply by 10.
- Formula:
Percentage = (CGPA - 0.5) × 10
- Type B: The “State Standard” Formula (Used by SPU, VNSGU)
- Rule: Directly multiply by 10.
- Formula:
Percentage = CGPA × 10
2. Official CGPA To Percentage Converter Formulas by University (A-Z)
Note: “Standard 10x” means the university follows the UGC 10-point grading scale where Grade ‘O’ (10 points) is equivalent to ~90-100% marks.

How to Find Your Formula Manually (The “Backside” Trick)
If your university is private or you are unsure about your specific batch (e.g., pre-2020 vs post-2020), follow these steps:
- Flip your Mark Sheet: 95% of universities print the grading table on the back of the final semester mark sheet.
- Look for “O” Grade: Find the range of marks for the highest grade ‘O’.
- If O = 90-100%, your formula is likely CGPA × 10.
- If O = 85-100%, your formula is likely CGPA × 9.5.
- Request a Certificate: For government jobs, if no formula is printed, go to your university’s “Student Section” and request a “CGPA to Percentage Conversion Certificate.”
