How to get started
1. Collect official grade points
Use the grade points shown on your marksheet or student portal.
2. Check the method
Some institutions use a simple average; others use credit-weighted calculations.
3. Enter the right values
Do not mix marks, percentages and grade points.
4. Check rounding
Your institution may specify how many decimal places to report.
5. Confirm conversion rules
Do not assume a universal CGPA-to-percentage formula.
Example
If a system uses a simple average and semester GPAs are 8.0 and 8.4, their average is 8.2. This is correct only if your institution uses that method.
Helpful reminder: This guide is general information. Confirm important requirements with the relevant official source. Tool results may be incomplete and do not guarantee a particular outcome.
