What this page does
This page maps India 10-point CGPA values into broad US GPA planning bands and shows the result as a range.
Grade & GPA
CGPA to GPA Converter
Convert an India 10-point CGPA to a planning estimate on the US 4.0 GPA scale, including a credit-weighted course table and CSV import.
Methodology & conversion bands
The entered 10-point CGPA is matched to a transparent planning band and returned as a US 4.0 GPA range instead of a false-precision exact score.

Quick reference: conversion bands
This is the same table the calculator reads — shown in full so you can see where any value lands before you type it in.
| Source score | US 4.0 GPA range | Band |
|---|---|---|
| 9 – 10 | 3.7 – 4 | Excellent |
| 8 – 8.99 | 3.3 – 3.69 | Very good |
| 7 – 7.99 | 3 – 3.29 | Good |
| 6 – 6.99 | 2.5 – 2.99 | Satisfactory |
| 5 – 5.99 | 2 – 2.49 | Pass |
| 0 – 4.99 | 0 – 1.99 | Below common graduate threshold |

FAQ
Is this the same as a WES GPA?
No. This is a planning estimate only and is not an official credential evaluation.
Why does the result show a GPA range?
Different universities and evaluators use different policies, so a range is more honest than a single exact number.
What is an 8.2 CGPA as a US GPA?
An 8.2 CGPA sits in the 8.0-8.99 'Very good' band of this table, which maps to roughly 3.3-3.69 on the US 4.0 scale. The popular multiply-by-0.4 shortcut would call it 3.28, but a planning range is more honest because evaluators treat Indian CGPAs differently.
What is the formula to convert CGPA to GPA?
There is no single official formula. Common shortcuts include multiplying a 10-point CGPA by 0.4, or (CGPA ÷ 10) × 4, but universities and credential evaluators such as WES convert course by course instead. This page uses transparent planning bands so you can see the assumption behind every result.
What CGPA do I need for a 3.0+ US GPA?
In this table, a CGPA of 7.0 or higher lands in at least the 3.0-3.29 planning band. An 8.0+ CGPA maps to roughly 3.3-3.69, and 9.0+ approaches the 3.7-4.0 range — but individual programs may apply their own conversion.
Can I calculate a weighted CGPA from courses?
Yes. Enter course credits and grades to calculate a credit-weighted source average before conversion.
