NITs (All) CGPA to Percentage Converter
The 31 National Institutes of Technology are public engineering institutions of national importance. Originally Regional Engineering Colleges, they were upgraded to NIT status in 2002. Admission is through JEE Main.
Formula
Percentage = CGPA × 10 NIT pages use percentage = CGPA x 10 because most NIT grade-point records are reported on a 10-point scale and recruiters often map 6.0 CGPA to 60%.

NITs (All) Grading Scale
NITs use a 10-point grading system following UGC guidelines. Most NITs use absolute grading with grades O/A+/A/B+/B/C/P/F. The minimum passing grade is typically P (Pass, 4 or 5 points depending on the NIT).
| Grade | Grade points / CGPA band | Marks band | How to read it |
|---|---|---|---|
| O / A+ | 10 | Outstanding band | Exact letter naming varies by NIT |
| A | 9 | Excellent band | High academic standing |
| B+ / B | 8 / 7 | Very good to good | Usually clears common placement thresholds |
| C / P | 6 / 5 or 4 | Average to pass | Pass thresholds differ by institute |
| F | 0 | Fail | No credit until cleared |
Credit Structure and Applicability
NIT programmes assign credits to lectures, tutorials, practicals, seminars, internships and projects. SGPA/CGPA is the weighted average across those credits under each institute's academic ordinance.
Use for NIT marksheets where only CGPA is available. Since each NIT is autonomous, follow the conversion note on the transcript if your institute provides a more specific rule.
Worked Example
For a CGPA of 8.20 at NITs (All), this calculator applies Percentage = CGPA × 10 and returns the percentage according to the selected institution's rule. Use the official source above when an employer, admission form or scholarship portal asks for documentary proof.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do all NITs use the same grading system?
While all NITs use a 10-point scale, some use absolute grading and others use relative grading. The conversion formula (CGPA × 10) is universal across all NITs.
Is NIT CGPA equivalent to IIT CGPA for job applications?
Both use CGPA × 10, so numerically they're equivalent. However, some companies may have different CGPA cutoffs for IITs vs NITs based on their recruitment tiers.
What's the minimum CGPA for NIT placement eligibility?
Most NIT placement cells require a minimum of 6.0 CGPA (60%) with no active backlogs to be eligible for campus recruitment.
