What is CGPA and Why Convert It to Percentage?
CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) is a grading scale used by many Pakistani universities, particularly in HEC-recognized institutions. However, many local and foreign universities and scholarship bodies ask for your percentage rather than CGPA.
Here’s why the conversion matters:
Scholarship Applications: Some scholarships have percentage-based eligibility (e.g., 70% minimum).
Study Abroad: UK, Canada, and Australia often ask for percentage instead of CGPA.
University Transfers: Some Pakistani universities require your GPA in percentage for credit transfers.
Government Jobs: Many public sector jobs demand percentage-based marksheets.

How to Convert CGPA to Percentage in Pakistan?
While the formula may differ by university, here’s a general method recommended by HEC:
Percentage = (CGPA / 4.0) × 100
However, many private universities use their own methods. Let’s break it down:
University of Central Punjab (UCP)
Formula: (CGPA × 22.5) + 20 = Percentage
Example: CGPA 3.0 = (3.0 × 22.5) + 20 = 87.5%
University of Lahore (UOL)
Formula: CGPA × 25 = Percentage
Example: CGPA 3.5 × 25 = 87.5%
University of Management and Technology (UMT)
Formula: CGPA × 25
Example: 3.2 × 25 = 80%
University of Agriculture Faisalabad (UAF)
UAF follows HEC scale, so:
(CGPA / 4.0) × 100 = Percentage
How to Convert Percentage to CGPA?
Again, this depends on your target university. Here’s a general conversion method used in Pakistan:
CGPA = (Percentage / 100) × 4.0
Examples:
85% → (85/100) × 4.0 = 3.4 CGPA
70% → 2.8 CGPA
60% → 2.4 CGPA
Some universities use custom formulas. Always check official university policies or ask your SAUK advisor.
