India Grades to US GPA Conversion

Converting India grades to a US GPA matters for university applications, scholarship forms, and credential evaluations. India uses a 10-point CGPA scale and percentage marks, while American institutions expect results on the 4.0 scale — this guide shows the standard equivalencies and the caveats evaluators actually apply.

What to know before you convert

Indian grading is famously strict — a 75% (First Division with Distinction) represents top-of-class work, which is why credential evaluators like WES map it to an A rather than a C. If your transcript shows CGPA on the 10-point scale, our CGPA to Percentage Calculator converts it using the CGPA × 9.5 rule most boards publish.

Converting the rest of your application

Once you know your equivalent GPA, our College GPA Calculator lets you recompute semester and cumulative figures on the 4.0 scale, and the CGPA to Percentage Calculator handles the reverse direction when a form asks for marks instead. Remember that official evaluations (WES, ECE, or a university’s own international office) are what admissions committees ultimately rely on — use these charts to plan, and the official evaluation to submit.
