Convert your Calcutta University CGPA to a percentage.
University of Calcutta, founded in 1857, uses a simple 10-point scale. Multiply your CGPA by 10 to get your percentage. We have also added the official notification below in Note section.
The formula
Calcutta 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.

About Calcutta University
Founded in 1857, the University of Calcutta is one of the oldest and largest universities in India, serving well over 300,000 students across its affiliated colleges in and around Kolkata, West Bengal.
It's one of the country's original three presidency universities, alongside Bombay and Madras, and has shaped higher education in eastern India for over a century and a half.
Unlike many institutions that layer in correction factors or non-round multipliers, Calcutta University keeps its CGPA system deliberately simple: a 10-point scale with a flat ×10 conversion to percentage.
That consistency makes it easy for students to estimate their standing at any point in a semester, and easy for employers and postgraduate programmes to read a transcript without needing a lookup table.
Under Calcutta University, Divisions are awarded on the same straightforward basis — First Class with Distinction, First Class, Second Class, and Pass — each tied to a clean percentage threshold rather than a sliding scale.
