For BHU CGPA to percentage, we could not confirm one published Banaras Hindu University formula, so the honest answer is a range: a CGPA of 8.2 reads as 82 percent under x 10, 77.9 percent under x 9.5 and 74.5 percent under (CGPA - 0.75) x 10. The figure you write on a form should come from BHU itself, either a rule shown on the grade card itself or a letter from the examination office.
The calculator above starts on the x 10 rule and lists the other readings beside it. Use it to see how much the choice of rule moves your number, then follow the steps below to get the one BHU will stand behind.

CGPA is the cumulative figure on your latest BHU grade card, out of 10. None of the three is a confirmed BHU rule; they are the readings students and employers most often use.
Why BHU CGPA to percentage has no single answer
Banaras Hindu University runs many faculties and institutes, and we did not find an ordinance or circular from BHU that fixes one conversion for all of them. What circulates on student forums and in placement groups is a mix: some say multiply by 9.5, others say times 10, while a handful of blogs quote other versions with no source at all.
Because none of these could be traced to a BHU document, this page does not pick one and call it official. It shows you all the common readings side by side so you know the spread, and it tells you how to get the exact number from the university. A recruiter or admission office that asks for your percentage will accept the BHU letter over any online figure.
- Read the CGPA on your latest BHU grade card or final marksheet.
- Type it into the calculator above and note the three readings.
- Look at the back of the grade card for any printed conversion note.
- If there is none, ask the examination office of BHU for a written conversion.
- Use the figure BHU gives you on every form, and keep a copy of the letter.
Using the BHU CGPA calculator above
Type the CGPA (a number up to 10), say 7.64. The dropdown starts on the multiply by 10 rule because it is the reading most students see quoted for BHU. The result panel shows that percentage in large type, and the list under it shows how that CGPA reads under CBSE style x 9.5, minus 0.75, minus 0.5 and a few other university rules.
Heading from percentage back to CGPA? Swap direction reverses the tool, so a percentage goes in and a CGPA comes out. For semester figures, first get your SGPA right with the SGPA calculator and then combine semesters with the SGPA to CGPA calculator.
Three readings in place of a BHU CGPA to percentage conversion formula
| CGPA | x 10 | x 9.5 | (CGPA - 0.75) x 10 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5.5 | 55 | 52.25 | 47.5 |
| 6.0 | 60 | 57 | 52.5 |
| 6.5 | 65 | 61.75 | 57.5 |
| 7.0 | 70 | 66.5 | 62.5 |
| 7.5 | 75 | 71.25 | 67.5 |
| 8.0 | 80 | 76 | 72.5 |
| 8.2 | 82 | 77.9 | 74.5 |
| 8.5 | 85 | 80.75 | 77.5 |
| 9.0 | 90 | 85.5 | 82.5 |
| 9.5 | 95 | 90.25 | 87.5 |
x 10 and x 9.5 drift further apart as CGPA rises: 3 points at a CGPA of 6.0 but 4.75 points at 9.5. The minus 0.75 reading always sits 7.5 points below x 10. If a job form has a 60 percent cut off and your CGPA is 6.1, the rule chosen decides whether you clear it, which is exactly why you need BHU's own figure.
Worked example with a BHU grade card
Student: B.Sc. final year, CGPA 7.64 on the last grade card.
x 10: 7.64 x 10 = 76.4 percent
x 9.5: 7.64 x 9.5 = 72.58 percent
Minus 0.75: (7.64 - 0.75) x 10 = 6.89 x 10 = 68.9 percent
The spread is 7.5 points. On a form that asks for 70 percent, this student is above the line under two readings and below it under one, so a written figure from BHU is worth the small effort.
How to get your official BHU percentage
- Check the reverse side of your grade card and the provisional degree certificate. Some universities print a conversion note there.
- Visit or write to the examination office of your faculty and ask whether a CGPA to percentage rule applies to your course and admission batch.
- If you need a document, ask for a conversion or equivalence certificate. There may be a small fee on the university portal or at the counter.
- Keep the letter with your marksheets. Use the same figure on every form so your applications stay consistent.
Our page on the CGPA to percentage certificate explains what such a letter is and who accepts it.
IIT (BHU) and BHU are not the same office
Students searching for IIT BHU CGPA to percentage conversion should know that IIT (BHU) Varanasi is an Institute of Technology with its own senate and academic rules. Its grading and any conversion note come from the institute, not from the main university examination office. Ask the IIT (BHU) academic section for the figure, and do not assume that a rule quoted for BHU arts or science faculties applies to B.Tech results.
Some institutes do not issue a percentage at all and simply state that the CGPA is the measure of performance. If that is what you are told, write the CGPA on the form and attach the institute letter.
BHU percentage to CGPA and SGPA questions
Going from percentage back to CGPA depends on the same unconfirmed rule, so the answer is also a range. Under x 10, 78 percent is 7.8. Under x 9.5, 78 percent is about 8.21. Under the minus 0.75 reading, 78 percent is 8.55. Use the Swap direction button in the calculator to see these quickly.
If you want a BHU SGPA to percentage calculator, the same tool works and the same caution applies: SGPA is one semester and most forms want the final CGPA. Work out the cumulative figure with the SGPA to CGPA tool before you convert anything.
Mistakes BHU students make with conversions
| Slip | Reason it fails | Better step |
|---|---|---|
| Quoting x 9.5 as the BHU rule | x 9.5 comes from former CBSE school grading, not from BHU | Ask BHU, and compare readings meanwhile |
| Converting one semester SGPA | Forms want the cumulative result | Use the final CGPA |
| Using different figures on different forms | Verification may flag the mismatch | Pick the BHU figure and use it everywhere |
| Applying a BHU faculty rule to IIT (BHU) | The institute has its own rules | Ask the IIT (BHU) academic section |
Compare how other universities handle this on the DU CGPA to percentage and AKTU CGPA to percentage pages, where an official rule does exist.
Questions students ask
How to convert the CGPA I hold into a percentage in BHU?
We found no BHU document that fixes a single formula. Multiply by 10 is the reading most often quoted, while x 9.5 and (CGPA - 0.75) x 10 are also used. Get the exact figure from the BHU examination office.
Is there a BHU CGPA to percentage conversion certificate?
Universities usually issue such a letter on request through the examination section. Ask your faculty office for the process and any small fee. That certificate is the figure employers and foreign universities accept.
BHU: 8 CGPA comes to how much percentage?
It reads as 80 percent under x 10, 76 percent under x 9.5 and 72.5 percent under the minus 0.75 rule. The official figure is whatever BHU confirms for your course.
Does IIT BHU use the same CGPA to percentage rule?
IIT (BHU) is a separate institute with its own senate and grading rules. Ask its academic section. Some institutes state that CGPA itself is the measure and give no percentage.
How do I calculate percentage from CGPA in BHU for a job form?
First check whether the form says which rule to use; some employers fix it themselves. If not, use the figure from BHU, or write the CGPA and mention that no official conversion is printed on the grade card.
Can I use the BHU CGPA calculator for SGPA?
Yes, but a single semester figure is rarely what a form asks for. Find your SGPA with the SGPA calculator, combine semesters into a CGPA, and then convert.
