The reverse formula: CGPA = (Percentage / 25) + 0.5. A student scoring 75% gets CGPA = (75/25) + 0.5 = 3.5. This conversion is useful when university applications ask for CGPA but you only have board exam percentages. Remember that Matric and FSc percentage systems differ from university CGPA systems — this conversion provides an approximate equivalent.

Since different universities may use slightly different conversion scales, always check if your university provides an official conversion certificate — this carries more weight than a formula-based estimate.
