The official IIT Kanpur rule
IIT Kanpur converts CGPA to percentage with Percentage = CPI × 10 (notional). It applies to: All programmes (the Institute's CPI to Percentage Conversion Certificate: 'As such no equivalence of CPI to percentage is provided. However, notionally, the CPI may be multiplied by a factor of 10 to obtain the numerical percentage'). The rule is taken from Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur — CPI to Percentage Conversion Certificate (iitk.ac.in) ↗ — open that official document and you will find the same formula; we never copy conversion rules from other calculator websites.
Worked example: a CGPA of 8.20 converts to 82.00%. The calculator shows the substituted equation with every result, together with the rule's scope and a link to the official source, so an employer or admission cell can verify it the same way you can.

How to convert, step by step
First, take your exact final CGPA from your consolidated grade card, without rounding it. Second, confirm the scheme, ordinance or graduation-year version that governs your batch — if this page's calculator shows a version selector, choose yours. Third, enter the CGPA above and apply the official equation exactly as written. Fourth, when you report the percentage anywhere official, name the rule beside it (for example, “as per Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur — CPI to Percentage Conversion Certificate (iitk.ac.in)”) so the figure can be checked. If you still need the CGPA itself, build it from semester SGPAs with the SGPA to CGPA calculator first. The general method is also explained in our guide on how to convert CGPA into percentage.
Good to know
10-point scale. IIT Kanpur reports performance as CPI and provides no official percentage equivalence — the Institute's certificate calls CPI × 10 a notional figure only. Use it where a form accepts a notional conversion, and attach the Institute's certificate if asked.
Mistakes IIT Kanpur students should avoid
- Multiplying by 9.5 (or borrowing another university's multiplier) instead of IIT Kanpur's official rule above.
- Converting one semester's SGPA and quoting it as the final degree percentage.
- Rounding the CGPA before converting — apply the formula to the exact CGPA and round only the result.
