According to the order released by the university, CUSAT CGPA to percentage conversion rule is - Percentage = (CGPA - 0.5) * 10.
So, you need to subtract 0.5 from your CGPA and then multiply the result by 10. It will give the same result as calculating the total marks awarded and then finding the percentage.
The college has a standard conversion table in place to help you convert your GPA into a percentage scale. You will have to check your grade or grade points obtained and convert them into percentages. Additionally, there is also a classification scale that includes all the classes like first class and second class.
