What is the CGPA in a percentage conversion formula in BPUT?
CGPA to percentage conversion for BPUT (Biju Patnaik University of Technology), Odisha:
BPUT uses the following formula:
Percentage = CGPA × 10
example: CGPA 7.5 = 75%
this is a simple linear conversion — BPUT explicitly uses this formula. so if your CGPA is 8.0, your equivalent percentage is 80%.
for official purposes (government jobs, higher studies applications), you can use this formula directly. BPUT provides a formula equivalence certificate on request if you need official documentation. check bput.ac.in or contact the examination section for the official certificate. keep in mind some older batches may have used different systems — verify with your college if unsure about your specific batch.

BPUT's CGPA to percentage conversion — the key thing most students get wrong is using the generic UGC formula instead of BPUT's own official one.
BPUT Official Formula:
Percentage = (CGPA – 0.5) × 10
Example: CGPA 8.0 ? (8.0 – 0.5) × 10 = 75%
This is published in BPUT's official circular and is the formula companies and higher education institutions should accept when you cite it.
Common mistake: Using the UGC generic formula (% = CGPA × 9.5) which gives 76% for CGPA 8.0 — slightly different and NOT the official BPUT conversion. Don't use that formula for BPUT.
How to use this in practice:
- For job applications asking for percentage: Calculate using (CGPA – 0.5) × 10 and add a note "as per BPUT official formula."
- For higher education abroad (GRE/GMAT/MS applications): Most foreign universities accept CGPA directly on a 10-point scale. You may not need percentage conversion at all.
- For government jobs (UPSC, PSU): They'll likely ask for percentage. Use BPUT formula and carry a copy of the official circular if asked to verify.
- Get a BPUT Conversion Certificate from the university if you need an official document — particularly for immigration or foreign degree recognition (WES evaluation).
Grade scale reference: O = 10, E = 9, A = 8, B = 7, C = 6, D = 5, P = 4, F = 0.

BPUT has a very simple and clear formula for converting CGPA to percentage. It is-
percentage= (cgpa-0.5) * 10
For example, you attained 7.57 CGPA.
In this case, your percentage will be (7.57-0.5)*10= 70.7%
This is the method of conversion followed by BPUT. You can also find it on their official website.

You need to multiply the respective subjects’ credit points to their grade as one has secured. For example, if you have studies Math having 4 credits, that means you have secured an A grade or 8 points which makes it 8*4=32 points.
Similarly, you can calculate for all the subjects and then make a total of them all. After this is done, divide the total points with the net or total credits of that semester. This is how SGPA is calculated.
Following is an example to understand this in a better way:

CGPA is just the average of all the SGPAs. We can also convert CGPA to Percentage as if CGPA is 8.23. According to BPUT, the percentage would be - (CGPA-0.5) *10 -> =8.23-0.5=7.73 -> =7.73*10=77.3%.
Hence, referring to this we could acquire the percentage of a candidate which he/she obtained in their BPUT examination.
