Admissions offices and recruiters in Australia expect Australian GPA, so an Indian 10-point CGPA has to be converted before it goes on a form. Enter your grade for an instant Indian CGPA-to-Australian GPA result, then use the conversion table, the worked examples, and the notes on each scale to sense-check it.
| an Indian 10-point CGPA | an Australian 7-point GPA |
|---|---|
| 10 / 10 | 7 / 7 |
| 9.3 / 10 | 6.4 / 7 |
| 8.8 / 10 | 6 / 7 |
| 8.3 / 10 | 5.6 / 7 |
| 7.5 / 10 | 5 / 7 |
| 6.8 / 10 | 4.6 / 7 |
| 5.8 / 10 | 4 / 7 |
| 5 / 10 | 3.5 / 7 |
The converter works by anchoring both scales on the US 4.0 GPA, which is the most widely recognised reference point for comparing grades internationally. Your Indian CGPA is placed on the 0 to 4.0 scale first, then expressed as Australian GPA. Percentage ≈ CGPA × 9.5 under the common CBSE convention, though boards vary. Australian universities grade on a 7-point GPA where 7 is a High Distinction.

The Indian CGPA is the cumulative grade point average used by CBSE and most Indian universities, reported on a 10-point scale. Under the common CBSE convention an approximate percentage is the CGPA multiplied by 9.5, though individual boards and universities publish their own tables. A 6.0 is usually the pass mark, 7.5 and above is a first class, and 8.5+ is an excellent record.
Australian universities grade on a 7-point scale where 7 is a High Distinction, 6 a Distinction, 5 a Credit, and 4 a Pass. Anything below 4 is a fail, and a GPA of 5.5 or higher is a strong, competitive result. A few institutions also use a 4-point GPA, so it is worth checking which scale a transcript is on.
Enter your Indian CGPA in the calculator above and it maps to Australian GPA instantly through the US 4.0 GPA scale, which acts as the common reference between the two systems. The table below shows the full range. It is a close estimate, so for admissions or immigration use your institution's official scale or a credential evaluator such as WES.
No conversion between grading systems is exact, because scales differ by country and institution. Percentage ≈ CGPA × 9.5 under the common CBSE convention, though boards vary. Treat the result as a reliable estimate rather than an official equivalence, and use a recognised credential evaluator when an application formally requires one.
As a rough guide, the very top of the Indian CGPA scale corresponds to about 7 / 7, and a strong upper result maps to around 6 / 7. The full mapping across every band is in the conversion table above, and the examples show a few common grades in context.
On an international CV it helps to show both: your original Indian CGPA and the Australian GPA equivalent in brackets, so a reader in Australia can understand it at a glance without doing the maths. Prezumi's free résumé builder lets you list your GPA, grade, and honours in a clean, ATS-friendly format.
