Frequently asked questions
How do I convert 10 CGPA to 4.0 GPA?
The simple linear method is GPA = (CGPA ÷ 10) × 4. Credential evaluators like WES instead map grade bands, which usually yields a higher figure for Indian students.
What is 8.5 CGPA on a 4.0 scale?
Linearly, 8.5 → 3.4. On a WES-style band mapping (8.5 ≈ first division/A), it converts to about 3.7–4.0 depending on university grading.
Should I convert my CGPA myself for US applications?
Most universities ask you to report the CGPA as issued and rely on official evaluations (WES/ECE). Self-converted figures are only for shortlisting yourself.
