Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

The 9.5 factor is derived statistically. CBSE analyzed the average marks of students who scored between 91 and 100. The average came out to be roughly 95. Hence, 10 CGPA is equated to 95% rather than 100%.

SGPA (Semester Grade Point Average) is the score for a single semester. CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) is the average of all SGPAs across all completed semesters.

Generally, a CGPA above 8.0 is considered very good. A CGPA above 9.0 is outstanding. Most top-tier companies and universities require a minimum CGPA of 6.0 or 6.5 for eligibility.

Not necessarily. In the CBSE system, 10 CGPA is calculated as 95%. However, in universities using the 10-point direct scale, 10 CGPA can mathematically represent 100%, though getting a perfect 10 is extremely rare.

Yes. Simply divide your percentage by the multiplier. For example, if you have 85% in CBSE, calculate 85 / 9.5 = 8.94 CGPA.
