Pick the right CGPA formula
CGPA stands for Cumulative Grade Point Average. Different countries — and even different universities within a country — use different scales and conversion formulas, which is why a simple 8.5 CGPA can mean anywhere from 80% to 85% depending on where you studied.
HEC formula
Used by NUST, FAST, UET, LUMS, COMSATS and every HEC-recognised university in Pakistan.
CBSE × 9.5
The official CBSE class X / XII conversion formula.
General Indian universities
(CGPA − 0.75) × 10 — used by most affiliated colleges.

Why CGPA conversion matters
Recruiters, admission portals, and visa forms in many countries still ask for a percentage rather than a CGPA. Schools in the Gulf, Europe and North America may not recognise a 10-point scale at all. Having the correct conversion saves you from losing opportunities to a mismatch.
