How to Convert SGPA to Percentage: Simple Formula, Table & Tips

How to Convert SGPA to Percentage: Many colleges and universities now use SGPA (Semester Grade Point Average) in place of marks in the educational system. However, the percentage style continues to be popular when applying for scholarships, jobs, or higher education. Therefore, understanding how to convert SGPA to percentage becomes important for students.

This section provides clear explanations of everything, along with tables, examples, and methods that make converting your SGPA to a percentage simple.

What is SGPA?

SGPA stands for Semester Grade Point Average. It shows how well candidates performed in a particular semester. SGPA is calculated based on their subject-wise grades and the credit for each subject.

Simple SGPA Formula:

SGPA = Total Grade Points ÷ Total Credits

Grade Points = Grade you received in a subject (on a scale of 10)
Credits = Weight/importance of each subject

Example:

• Subject A: Grade 9, Credits 3 → 9×3 = 27
  
  

• Subject B: Grade 8, Credits 4 → 8×4 = 32
  
  

• Subject C: Grade 10, Credits 3 → 10×3 = 30
  
  

Total Grade Points = 27 + 32 + 30 = 89
Total Credits = 3 + 4 + 3 = 10
SGPA = 89 ÷ 10 = 8.9

Why Convert SGPA to Percentage?

Although SGPA is used by colleges, many outside organisations and businesses request a percentage. Below are some points why convert SGPA to percentage:

• Applications for jobs

• Forms for government examinations

• Admissions to international universities

• Internships and scholarships

• Making a resume

SGPA to Percentage Conversion Formula

Candidates can convert their SGPA (Semester Grade Point Average) into percentage format. Many colleges follow a simple and widely used formula that helps students calculate their equivalent percentage for use in resumes, job applications, or higher studies.

The most common formula used by Indian universities is:

Percentage = (SGPA × 10) - 7.5

Examples:

• SGPA 9.0 → (9 × 10) - 7.5 = 82.5%
  
  

• SGPA 7.5 → (7.5 × 10) - 7.5 = 67.5%
  
  

Note: Some universities may use slightly different formulas.

SGPA to Percentage Calculator (Manual Method)

This method helps candidates in manually calculating their percentage based on their SGPA. Use this simple method and step-by-step procedure to determine their equal percentage if candidates prefer not to use online resources or calculators.

Two easy steps can be used to compute your percentage manually:

• Candidates SGPA multiplied by 10

• Deduct 7.5 from the outcome.
  
  

Formula: (SGPA × 10) - 7.5

Example:
SGPA = 8.4
(8.4 × 10) - 7.5 = 84 - 7.5 = 76.5%

This table helps candidates quickly find their percentage based on their SGPA. Instead of calculating manually, just look up the SGPA in the left column to see the equivalent percentage in the right column. It's a handy reference for students applying to jobs, colleges, or exams.

SGPA to Percentage in Indian Universities

Many Indian universities use different formulas to convert SGPA into percentage. These formulas are specific to the university's grading system. In this section, we provide a list of popular universities and their official SGPA to percentage conversion methods, so candidates can calculate their scores correctly based on their institution's standards.

Different universities use different formulas to convert SGPA into percentage:

Always check your university's official conversion rule.

Example: SGPA to Percentage Calculation

In this section, candidates will learn how to apply the SGPA to the percentage formula using a real example. This step-by-step method helps candidates understand how to use their subject grades and credits to calculate SGPA and then convert it into a percentage.

Step 1: Multiply the grade point by the credit:

• Math: 4×9 = 36
  
  

• Physics: 3×8 = 24
  
  

• Chemistry: 3×7 = 21
  
  

• English: 2×10 = 20
  
  

Total Grade Points = 36 + 24 + 21 + 20 = 101
Total Credits = 4 + 3 + 3 + 2 = 12
SGPA = 101 ÷ 12 = 8.42

Step 2: Convert SGPA to percentage:
(8.42 × 10) - 7.5 = 84.2 - 7.5 = 76.7%

Knowing how to convert SGPA to percentage is very helpful when applying for jobs, higher education, and exams. Most universities follow the simple formula (SGPA × 10) - 7.5.

Always check if the candidate's college uses a different rule, and keep both SGPA and percentage copies of their transcript ready.
