Formula: SGPA = Percentage ÷ Divisor
📐 Formula
SGPA = Percentage ÷ Divisor- Enter your semester percentage (0 – 100).
- Select the divisor your institution uses — CBSE (÷9.5), Direct (÷10), or VTU (÷9.0).
- The result is your equivalent SGPA on the 10-point scale.
📶 Converting Semester Percentage to SGPA
If your marksheet shows a percentage but a form asks for SGPA, the conversion is a single division: take your semester percentage and divide it by your institution’s designated multiplier — typically 9.5 (CBSE convention) or 10 (direct method). A score of 76% under the CBSE divisor, for instance, becomes 76 ÷ 9.5 = 8.0 SGPA.
This standardises your academic records onto the 10-point scale, which is what most Indian universities, scholarship portals, and entrance-exam applications expect. Pick the divisor that matches your university’s official conversion rule so your documented SGPA matches the institution’s own calculation.
