10 Point to 4 Point GPA Converter

Convert an Indian ten point CGPA into the four point GPA scale used by universities abroad.

10 Point to 4 Point GPA Converter

Scale and value

Used when an application form asks for a 4 point GPA but your marksheet reports a 10 point SGPA or CGPA.

10 point GPA is required.

Result

Proportional conversion, the method most credential evaluators start from.

About this tool

Applications to universities in the United States and Canada usually ask for a four point GPA, while Indian marksheets carry a ten point CGPA. This converter applies the proportional conversion used in most WES style evaluations and shows the equivalent letter grade band, giving you a defensible figure for application forms.

How it works

Using the 10 Point to 4 Point GPA Converter in three steps

Every step below reflects the actual calculation this tool runs, so you can check the result by hand if you need to.

  1. 1

    Enter the ten point CGPA printed on your Indian marksheet.

  2. 2

    The tool scales it proportionally onto the four point scale used in North America.

  3. 3

    It also shows the letter grade band the converted value sits in, which is what many application forms ask for alongside the number.

Scale conversion

4 point GPA = (10 point CGPA / 10) x 4
  • Proportional conversion is the most widely accepted method for self reported GPA fields.
  • Credential evaluators such as WES apply their own course by course mapping, which can differ slightly.
  • Always submit the original transcript alongside any converted value.

Frequently asked questions

Will a university accept this converted GPA?

Most admission portals accept a proportional conversion for the self reported field, but the official evaluation is done by the university or an agency from your transcript.

Why does WES sometimes report a different GPA?

Credential evaluators map each course grade individually and may weight by credit hours differently, so their figure can vary by a few tenths from a proportional conversion.

Should I convert percentage or CGPA?

Convert the CGPA when your marksheet prints one. If it only prints a percentage, reverse it to a CGPA first with the percentage to CGPA converter.

Which conversion do universities prefer?

Most self reported GPA fields accept a proportional conversion, and the university then verifies against the transcript you upload.

Do I still need a credential evaluation?

If the university asks for a WES or similar report, yes. This converter gives the figure for the application form, not an official evaluation.
