Converting for US or UK applications
US and UK universities often ask for your original CGPA and grading scale rather than a converted percentage, and may use credential services such as WES. Always submit the official figure and state the scale (for example "8.2 / 10"). To go the other way, use Percentage to CGPA Converter, or work out a US GPA with the GPA Calculator.
