The formula
CBSE's official conversion: CGPA = percentage ÷ 9.5. Example: 85% ÷ 9.5 = 8.95 CGPA (grade A2). Going back: percentage = CGPA × 9.5.
When you need this
Many college and scholarship forms ask for CGPA even when your marksheet shows percentage — especially for CBSE students applying to universities that grade on a 10-point scale. Note: some boards use different multipliers (ask your school), but ×9.5 is the CBSE standard.
