MAKAUT CGPA to Percentage Converter
MAKAUT (formerly WBUT), headquartered in Kolkata, is West Bengal's primary technical university affiliating 200+ engineering colleges. Renamed in 2015 after the former president, it governs all technical education in the state.
Formula
Percentage = (CGPA − 0.75) × 10 MAKAUT uses the conversion shown above: Percentage = (CGPA − 0.75) × 10. This matters because Indian institutions do not share one national CGPA-to-percentage rule; the same 8.0 CGPA can convert differently under x10, x9.5, offset, and sliding-scale systems.

MAKAUT Grading Scale
Maulana Abul Kalam Azad University of Technology uses a 10-point grading system. Grades go from O (10) to F (fail). MAKAUT assigns grade points at the upper end of ranges plus 0.75, hence the correction factor in the conversion formula.
| Grade | Grade points / CGPA band | Marks band | How to read it |
|---|---|---|---|
| O / S / AA | 10 | 90-100 or 91-100, depending on the regulation | Top band; exact letter varies by university |
| A+ / AB | 9 | 80-89 or equivalent band | High distinction band |
| A | 8 | 70-79 or equivalent band | First-class band in most schemes |
| B+ / BB | 7 | 60-69 or equivalent band | Usually first-class threshold |
| B / C | 6 / 5 | 50-59 or equivalent band | Pass-to-second-class range |
| F / RA / U | 0 | Below pass mark | Course must be cleared under university rules |
Credit Structure and Applicability
Maulana Abul Kalam Azad University of Technology uses a 10-point grading system. Grades go from O (10) to F (fail). MAKAUT assigns grade points at the upper end of ranges plus 0.75, hence the correction factor in the conversion formula. In practice, the final CGPA is usually built from course grade points weighted by credits, so high-credit labs, projects, core papers, internships, or thesis work can move the final CGPA more than low-credit electives.
