MAKAUT (WBUT) CGPA to Percentage Formula

Maulana Abul Kalam Azad University of Technology, West Bengal (MAKAUT) — the successor institution to the former West Bengal University of Technology (WBUT) — prescribes the following formula, published via COE Letter No. COE/MAKAUT,WB/2021-22/0357:

Percentage = (CGPA − 0.75) × 10

The same formula applies to your Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) for a single-semester percentage, and to the Discipline Grade Point Average (DGPA) printed on your final consolidated grade card — DGPA-to-percentage works exactly like CGPA-to-percentage under this rule. Older grade cards issued under the WBUT name (before the university's 2017 rename to MAKAUT) generally follow the same conversion structure.

Worked Example

A MAKAUT student with a CGPA of 8.0 converts to:

Percentage = (8.0 − 0.75) × 10 = 7.25 × 10 = 72.5%

A CGPA of 7.4 converts to (7.4 − 0.75) × 10 = 65%, and a CGPA of 9.0 converts to (9.0 − 0.75) × 10 = 82.5%. The same math applies if you're converting your final DGPA instead of CGPA — just substitute the DGPA value shown on your consolidated grade sheet.

Who Needs This Calculator

This calculator is for MAKAUT-affiliated B.Tech, B.Pharm, MBA, and MCA students — and WBUT-era alumni holding older grade cards — across West Bengal's technical colleges, who need a percentage figure for campus placements, government job eligibility criteria, or further-study applications, since MAKAUT's grade cards report CGPA/SGPA/DGPA rather than a percentage.

Official Formula vs. Approximation

This is MAKAUT's own published formula, documented in COE Letter No. COE/MAKAUT,WB/2021-22/0357, and applied consistently across MAKAUT-affiliated colleges for both SGPA-to-percentage and DGPA-to-percentage conversions. It's treated as a reliable official figure here because it comes from a specific, named Controller of Examinations communication rather than an inferred or third-party estimate.

MAKAUT's Grading System

MAKAUT grades courses on a 10-point scale with credits per subject, computing SGPA per semester and a final DGPA (Discipline Grade Point Average, MAKAUT's equivalent of CGPA) across the full program using the standard credit-weighted average method. Grade cards list SGPA per semester and DGPA on the final consolidated statement, with percentage derived separately using the (CGPA − 0.75) × 10 rule when required.

Common Mistakes When Converting MAKAUT CGPA

• Confusing DGPA (MAKAUT's cumulative figure) with SGPA (single semester) when converting for an overall percentage
• Applying a different offset (GTU's 0.5, for instance) instead of MAKAUT's confirmed 0.75
• Assuming a WBUT-era grade card (pre-2017 rename) uses a different formula — the underlying conversion structure is generally the same
• Rounding CGPA/DGPA before converting instead of after, which can shift the final percentage
• Submitting a self-calculated percentage on legal or immigration documents instead of requesting MAKAUT's own percentage certificate

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the official MAKAUT CGPA formula? Yes — (CGPA − 0.75) × 10 is MAKAUT's own published formula, documented in COE Letter No. COE/MAKAUT,WB/2021-22/0357, and applied consistently across MAKAUT-affiliated colleges.

My grade card says WBUT, not MAKAUT — does this still apply? WBUT (West Bengal University of Technology) was renamed MAKAUT in 2017. The underlying CGPA/DGPA conversion structure is the same, so this formula applies to WBUT-era grade cards as well.

Can I use this for my DGPA instead of CGPA? Yes — the same (DGPA − 0.75) × 10 formula applies. Just enter your DGPA value from your consolidated grade card in place of CGPA.

Is my grade data uploaded anywhere? No. The conversion runs entirely as JavaScript inside your browser tab — no CGPA, percentage, or personal information is ever sent to a server, logged, or stored.

Is this tool free to use? Yes. It's completely free, with no login, no watermark, and no usage limit.
