DGPA to CGPA Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the equivalent CGPA on a 10-point scale from a DGPA reported on another grading scale.
Variables:
- CGPA is the cumulative grade point average on a 10-point scale
- DGPA is the degree grade point average
- MS is the maximum value of the original grading scale
To calculate the CGPA, divide the DGPA by the maximum scale value and multiply the result by 10. For example, if the DGPA is on a 4-point scale, divide by 4 and then multiply by 10.
What is DGPA to CGPA Conversion?
This converter expresses a Degree Grade Point Average as an equivalent score out of 10. Institutions can use different grading rules, so follow any conversion table your institution or application specifies.
A DGPA already on a 10-point scale keeps the same number when rescaled. A transcript CGPA can differ because the institution may calculate it using a different method. For another scale, this converter rescales the DGPA in proportion to the scale maximum.
How to Calculate DGPA to CGPA?
The following steps outline how to calculate the equivalent CGPA from a DGPA.
- First, determine the DGPA value from your marksheet or transcript.
- Next, identify the maximum value of your institution’s grading scale, such as 10, 5, or 4.
- Then, divide the DGPA by the maximum scale value.
- Finally, multiply the result by 10 to convert it to a CGPA out of 10.
- After calculating the result, check your answer using the converter above.
How to Calculate MAKAUT DGPA From Yearly Grades
Choose MAKAUT DGPA from YGPA and select your B.Tech entry route. Enter the Yearly Grade Point Average (YGPA) from each grade card on the 10-point scale. Regular entry uses Years 1–4. Lateral entry starts with Year 2 and uses Years 2–4.
- Regular entry: DGPA = (Y1 + Y2 + 1.5 × Y3 + 1.5 × Y4) ÷ 5
- Lateral entry: DGPA = (Y2 + 1.5 × Y3 + 1.5 × Y4) ÷ 4
With yearly grades of 7, 8, 9 and 8, a regular-entry student gets (7 + 8 + 1.5 × 9 + 1.5 × 8) ÷ 5 = 8.10 DGPA. The estimated percentage is (8.10 − 0.75) × 10 = 73.5%. The yearly-grades mode estimates percentages within the 6.25–8.25 range of MAKAUT’s published reference table.
MAKAUT calculates transcript CGPA separately by dividing the sum of semester credit indices by the sum of semester credits. Use the CGPA on your grade card when an application asks for your official value.
DGPA to CGPA Conversion Table
The table below shows sample DGPA conversions for common grading systems using the formula CGPA = (DGPA / maximum scale) × 10.
| DGPA Scale | Sample DGPA | Equivalent CGPA |
|---|---|---|
| 10-point scale (0–10) | 7.5 | 7.5 |
| 10-point scale (0–10) | 6.2 | 6.2 |
| 4-point scale (0–4) | 3.2 | 8.0 |
| 4-point scale (0–4) | 2.8 | 7.0 |
| 5-point scale (0–5) | 4.0 | 8.0 |
| 5-point scale (0–5) | 3.5 | 7.0 |
| 4-point scale (0–4) | 3.6 | 9.0 |
Understanding this conversion makes it easier to compare academic records and complete applications that require a CGPA out of 10, even when your original transcript uses another scale.
Example Problem :
Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.
DGPA = 3.2
Maximum Scale = 4
CGPA = (3.2 / 4) × 10 = 8.0
