CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) is a grading system used by universities to evaluate a student's overall academic performance. The Higher Education Commission (HEC) of Pakistan has established specific guidelines for converting CGPA to percentage to maintain standardization across educational institutions.
Converting CGPA to percentage is essential for various academic and professional purposes, including:
Many universities require percentage scores for admission applications.
Employers often ask for percentage scores in job requirements.
Scholarship programs typically use percentage criteria for eligibility.
International universities often require percentage equivalents for applications.

Where "Scale" represents the maximum CGPA value (usually 4.0, but sometimes 5.0)
