What started with a single CGPA-to-percentage calculator for Indian university students is growing into a network of free, country-specific academic tools &mdash; and this blog is the central hub that connects all of them.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"section-head first\">Who we are<\/h2>\n<p class=\"flow-desc\">CollegeGPA was founded by Sagnik J., a finance graduate from India, out of a simple frustration: official CGPA-to-percentage and GPA conversion rules are scattered across PDFs, circulars, and forum posts, and most existing calculators online don&#8217;t bother citing where their formula actually comes from.<\/p>\n<p class=\"flow-desc\">We&#8217;re not a university, an accreditation body, or an admissions consultancy. We&#8217;re a small, independent team building tools we wished existed when we were students ourselves.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"section-head\">What we do<\/h2>\n<p class=\"flow-desc\">CollegeGPA runs a network of free academic calculators &mdash; CGPA, GPA, SGPA, CPI, and percentage converters &mdash; built around the specific grading systems used by individual universities and national grading conventions, rather than one generic formula applied everywhere.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"bullet-list\">\n  <li><strong>CollegeGPA India<\/strong> (collegegpa.in) &mdash; calculators built for Indian university grading systems, including university-specific tools like Calcutta University and Mumbai University.<\/li>\n  <li><strong>CollegeGPA Blog<\/strong> (this site) &mdash; guides, explainers, and academic news that sit above all our country properties.<\/li>\n  <li><strong>Upcoming regional sites<\/strong> &mdash; we&#8217;re building out equivalent tools for the US, Canada, UK, and Australia, each tuned to that country&#8217;s own GPA and grading conventions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"section-head\">How we build our calculators<\/h2>\n<p class=\"flow-desc\">Before we publish a calculator, we try to trace the formula back to a primary source &mdash; an official university circular, a regulatory notification, or a published grading policy &mdash; rather than copying whatever number is already floating around the internet. Where a formula can only be confirmed through a secondary source, or where a classification depends on conditions we can&#8217;t verify programmatically (like first-appearance rules for a distinction grade), we say so directly on the page instead of quietly guessing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"flow-desc\">That said, grading regulations change, and every institution has the final word on your official record. Our tools are built to give you a fast, well-sourced estimate &mdash; not a replacement for your official transcript or your university&#8217;s examination department. See our <a href=\"\/disclaimer\">Disclaimer<\/a> for more on this.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"section-head\">What we believe<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"bullet-list\">\n  <li><strong>Free, always.<\/strong> No sign-ups, no paywalls, no gated results.<\/li>\n  <li><strong>Source over speed.<\/strong> We&#8217;d rather flag an unverifiable detail than publish a confident-sounding guess.<\/li>\n  <li><strong>Built for the student, not the search engine.<\/strong> Tools come first; everything else is secondary.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<div class=\"callout-box\">\n  <p><strong>Spotted an outdated formula, a broken calculator, or a university we should add?<\/strong> We&#8217;d genuinely like to know.
