4 CGPA to Percentage: Chart for 4.00 to 4.99

4 CGPA to percentage is 38 percent by the CBSE rule (4 x 9.5), 40 percent where the rule is CGPA x 10, and only 32.5 percent once 0.75 comes off first, as in the VTU 2018 scheme. This is the lowest band our charts cover, and at this level the exact rule decides a lot.

This page gives the numbers first, then explains what a CGPA near 4 says about your grades, whether it completes a degree at different universities, how old CBSE Class 10 results in this band read, and how to plan a climb out of it. It also clears up a common mix up between 4 out of 10 and a 4.0 GPA. Your university's conversion is the one to use on forms.

Percentage = CGPA x 9.5 (CBSE), CGPA x 10, or (CGPA - 0.75) x 10

SPPU uses 6.6 x CGPA + 13.6 from 4.00 to 4.74 and 10 x CGPA minus 2.5 from 4.75. GTU and JNTUH use (CGPA - 0.5) x 10.

4 CGPA to percentage: the numbers first

Here are the six rules for the key values in this band. The lowest and highest readings for one CGPA can differ by almost 8 marks.

Grade card CGPA	Mumbai old	CBSE	x 10	GTU	SPPU	VTU 2018 scheme

4.99	46.429	47.405	49.9	44.9	47.4	42.4

SPPU changes its line at 4.75: 4.74 gives 44.884 and 4.75 gives 45. The Mumbai column is the old 7.1 x CGPI + 11 rule, no longer used for the university's Arts, Science, Commerce and Management results, which are now converted from actual marks.

What a CGPA near 4 says about your grades

On most Indian 10 point scales, grade point 4 is the lowest grade that still counts as a pass. A CGPA close to 4 therefore means most papers were cleared near the minimum.

Grade point 4 on different scales
Scale	Grade with 4 points	Marks range
VTU 2018 scheme	E	40 to 44
VTU 2022 scheme	P	40 to 49
AKTU	E	40 to 44
GTU	DD	35 to 39
SPPU	P	40 to 49 (45 to 49 in some faculties)
KL University	P	40 to 45
CBSE old Class 10	D	33 to 40

Some scales have no grade point 4 at all. JNTUH R18 jumps from C (5 points) to F, and Anna University R2021 jumps from C (5) to U.

Old CBSE Class 10 results in the 4 band

If your 4.x CGPA comes from the old CBSE Class 10 grading, multiply by 9.5. A CGPA of 4.4 reads as 41.8 percent and 4.8 reads as 45.6. Each subject works the same way: grade D carries 4 points and reads as 38 percent.

Grades E1 and E2 carry no grade point, so a subject in those grades is not part of a normal CGPA. CBSE called the 9.5 result indicative, as set out in its circular on the CGPA scheme. See our CBSE CGPA page for more.

Does a 4 point CGPA complete the degree?

That depends on your regulation, and you should confirm it with the exam section. What the published rules show:

JNTUH and JNTUK class tables start at 5.00 (pass class), so a final CGPA under 5 sits below the listed classes.
AKTU sets 5.0 as the lowest SGPA that clears a semester.
SPPU engineering lists a pass class from 4.75, according to secondary sources.
GTU, per secondary sources, gives pass class below 5.5 without a stated floor.

If your final CGPA is in this band, ask the exam section in writing whether the degree is awarded and what class will be printed. Do not assume either way.

4 out of 10 or 4 out of 4?

Students often mix up a CGPA of 4 on the Indian 10 point scale with a GPA of 4.0 on the US 4 point scale. They are opposite ends of the range. A 4.0 GPA is the top grade in the US system, roughly an A in every course, while 4 out of 10 is near the lowest pass.

If a foreign form asks for GPA out of 4, do not write your 10 point CGPA. Use our CGPA to GPA page for an estimate, and if a value printed on a foreign transcript is out of 4, the GPA to percentage tool reads it.

Worked examples: 4.5, 4.75 and 4.91

CGPA 4.5 under three rules. CBSE: 4.5 x 9.5 = 42.75. x 10: 45. VTU 2018 scheme: (4.5 minus 0.75) x 10 = 37.5.

SPPU, 4.74 and 4.75. 4.74 is in the lowest band: 6.6 x 4.74 = 31.284, plus 13.6 = 44.884. 4.75 moves to the next band: 10 x 4.75 minus 2.5 = 45.

GTU, CGPA 4.91. (4.91 minus 0.5) x 10 = 44.1 percent.

A plan to climb out of the 4 band

A CGPA this low usually has room to rise, especially early in the degree.

Remaining semesters. CGPA 4.6 at the halfway mark of an 8 semester degree with equal credits, aiming for 5.5. (5.5 x 8 minus 4.6 x 4) / 4 = (44 minus 18.4) / 4 = 6.4. An average SGPA of 6.4 from here gets you to 5.5.

Clearing backlogs. CGPA 4.8 over 100 credits, with two 4 credit papers failed and counted at zero. Clearing both at grade point 5 adds 2 x 4 x 5 = 40 points: (480 + 40) / 100 = 5.2.

Universities differ on whether the new grade overwrites the F, so check before you plan. Test your own figures in the overall CGPA calculator.
