Note: This calculator applies the official Andhra University formula (CGPA × 10), as stated in AU's grading circular for courses admitted from 2008-09 onward. Division cutoffs shown are documented for Engineering, Pharmacy, and Science courses — other UG streams may vary slightly. Conversion rules can change between regulations and programmes — always confirm your final percentage against your official grade card, or apply for an official conversion certificate through the AU Controller of Examinations office.
The formula
Andhra University runs on a straightforward 10-point grading system. To convert CGPA to percentage, multiply your CGPA by 10 — no correction factor, no offset. A CGPA of 8.5 becomes 85.00%. The same multiplier applies to a single semester's SGPA if you only need that term's percentage; use your overall CGPA for a final, cumulative percentage.

AU
About Andhra University
Founded in 1926, Andhra University is one of the oldest state universities in South India, based in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh. It runs undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral programmes across a wide range of constituent and affiliated colleges.
Like several long-established Indian universities, AU adopted a Choice Based Credit System with a standardised 10-point grading scale for students admitted from 2008-09 onward, replacing older marks-only evaluation for many courses.
Andhra University keeps its CGPA-to-percentage conversion deliberately simple: a flat ×10 multiplier, without the extra correction factors some other universities use.
Division classification — Distinction, First Class, and Second Class/Pass — is tied to clean CGPA thresholds for Engineering, Pharmacy, and Science courses, as documented in the university's own grading circulars.
Frequently asked questions
Andhra University's own grading circular states that CGPA multiplied by 10 gives the aggregate percentage of marks obtained by a candidate. So Percentage = CGPA × 10, with no offset or correction factor.
Using the official ×10 formula, an 8.5 CGPA equals exactly 85%.
The ×9.5 figure comes from a job-notification conversion list published by an outside recruiting body, not from Andhra University itself. AU's own circulars consistently document ×10 as the aggregate percentage formula, so ×9.5 should not be used for AU marksheets.
Per AU's grading resolution for Engineering, Pharmacy, and Science courses, a CGPA of 8.0 or above qualifies for Distinction. A CGPA from 6.5 up to (but below) 8.0 is First Class, and Second Class/Pass covers the band just above the minimum passing CGPA. Arts, Commerce, and other UG streams may follow slightly different class cutoffs, so confirm with your own department if you're outside Engineering/Pharmacy/Science.
For most UG Engineering and Pharmacy courses, the minimum passing CGPA is 5.0. Some postgraduate Science, Engineering, and Pharmacy courses require a slightly higher minimum SGPA of 5.5 per semester. Requirements can vary by course and admission year, so check your own regulation.
Each subject is evaluated on a 10-point scale based on total marks (internal plus university exam marks combined): 75% and above gets an O grade (10 points), 65-74% gets A (9 points), 60-64% gets B (8 points), 55-59% gets C (7 points), 50-54% gets D (6 points), and 40-49% gets E (5 points). Below 40% is an F, worth 0 points.
Yes. Andhra University's grading circulars for both undergraduate and postgraduate courses confirm the same aggregate formula: CGPA × 10 = percentage. Only the division/class cutoffs differ slightly between some UG and PG streams.
Andhra University does not publish an online certificate generator. You need to apply in person or through your college to the Office of the Controller of Examinations (Examination Branch) with the prescribed fee to receive an official conversion certificate for admissions, employment, or visa purposes.
