How to Convert Percentage to CGPA in Pakistan

While Pakistani universities primarily award results in CGPA format, many students who studied in intermediate college or matric boards have their results in percentage. Converting that percentage to a CGPA equivalent is commonly required when applying to universities that use the GPA system, when filling out application forms for NUST, FAST, LUMS, or other top Pakistani universities, or when comparing your inter results with your university grading system.

The reverse HEC formula for converting percentage to CGPA on a 4.0 scale is straightforward: divide your percentage by 25. So if you scored 80% in your inter exams or aggregate, your equivalent CGPA is 3.2 out of 4.0. Similarly, 70% converts to 2.8 CGPA, and 85% converts to 3.4 CGPA.

This conversion is particularly important for students applying to graduate programs or foreign universities. When a UK, Canadian, or Australian university asks for your academic standing in GPA format, you use this formula — and our calculator handles it instantly. For a 10.0 scale, divide your percentage by 10. For a 5.0 scale, divide by 20.

One important point for students applying abroad: while the HEC formula is widely accepted in Pakistan, international universities and credential evaluation services like WES (World Education Services) or ICAS may use their own conversion standards. Always attach your official transcripts and, if required, an HEC equivalence certificate to ensure your academic credentials are evaluated fairly.

For students applying to MDCAT, ECAT, or aggregate-based university admissions in Pakistan, note that these programs calculate aggregate scores differently — combining matric percentage, FSc percentage, and entry test scores. This CGPA converter is for university-level academic records only.
