Formula: Converted GPA = (Your GPA ÷ From Scale) × To Scale
📐 Formula
Converted GPA = (Input GPA / From Scale) × To Scale- Enter your GPA in the Your GPA field.
- Select the scale it is currently on (From Scale).
- Select the scale you want to convert to (To Scale).
- The tool applies the proportional conversion — for example, 8.5/10 Indian ≈ 3.4/4.0 US.
🌍 Study Abroad GPA
Grading systems differ across countries, so a score that looks strong at home can be misread abroad unless it is converted. This tool converts between the Indian 10-point, US 4.0, and 5.0 scales in both directions using simple proportional math: your grade is divided by the maximum of its own scale and multiplied by the maximum of the target scale. An 8.5 CGPA in India therefore maps to (8.5 / 10) × 4.0 ≈ 3.4 on the US scale — a competitive figure for overseas applications.
| Indian (10-Point) | US (4.0) | 5.0 Scale |
|---|---|---|
| 10.0 | 4.00 | 5.00 |
| 9.0 | 3.60 | 4.50 |
| 8.5 | 3.40 | 4.25 |
| 8.0 | 3.20 | 4.00 |
| 7.0 | 2.80 | 3.50 |
| 6.0 | 2.40 | 3.00 |
| 5.0 | 2.00 | 2.50 |
If you are preparing an application for a country outside these systems, note that Germany’s inverted 1–5 scale (where 1.0 is the best grade) needs special handling — the GPA to CGPA Calculator supports German 1–5 grades directly. Whichever direction you convert, treat the result as a well-informed estimate for shortlisting universities and drafting applications.

Is this official?
No — this converter gives a close approximation. For official conversions, universities typically require a credential evaluation from services such as WES or ECE.
