There is no single universal formula. On a 4.0 scale the simple conversion is CGPA ÷ 4 × 100; CBSE (India) multiplies a 10-point CGPA by 9.5; many 10-point universities multiply by 10. Choose the formula your institution states on its transcript.

University-specific formulas
Many universities print their own equivalence table on the transcript or degree, and those always take priority. In Pakistan, HEC-recognised universities usually issue a percentage equivalence table per grade rather than a single formula, so if your employer or embassy asks for a percentage, request an equivalence certificate from your university. Use this tool for a quick estimate.
