WBUT CGPA to Percentage Converter
West Bengal University of Technology was the original name of MAKAUT before its renaming in 2015. Students who graduated before 2015 have WBUT on their certificates. The same conversion formula applies.
Formula
Percentage = (CGPA − 0.75) × 10 WBUT 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.

WBUT Grading Scale
WBUT (now MAKAUT) uses a 10-point grading scale identical to MAKAUT's current system. The grade structure and conversion formula have remained unchanged since the university's renaming in 2015.
| 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
WBUT (now MAKAUT) uses a 10-point grading scale identical to MAKAUT's current system. The grade structure and conversion formula have remained unchanged since the university's renaming in 2015. 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.
Use this page for WBUT grade-point records where the transcript reports CGPA but an application asks for percentage. If your marksheet already prints aggregate percentage, or your regulation year has a different conversion note, use that official value over this quick calculator.
Worked Example
