MAKAUT CGPA to Percentage Calculator
Convert your Maulana Abul Kalam Azad University of Technology CGPA to percentage using the official formula.
Maulana Abul Kalam Azad University of Technology in Kolkata (formerly West Bengal University of Technology, or WBUT, renamed in 2017) is the main state technical university for West Bengal. MAKAUT uses Percentage = (CGPA − 0.75) × 10 per Letter COE/MAKAUT,WB/2021-22/0357. The same formula applies to the Discipline Grade Point Average (DGPA) printed on the final consolidated grade card, so DGPA-to-percentage works exactly like CGPA-to-percentage here. Its grade scale carries one widely-misread label — the 'E' grade is Excellent (9 grade points), not fail. First Class with Distinction needs CGPA ≥ 7.50 AND zero backlogs across the entire programme: even a backlog that the student eventually clears in a later semester disqualifies the candidate from Distinction, with the certificate downgrading to First Class.

Is this the official MAKAUT formula?
This formula is based on MAKAUT Letter No. COE/MAKAUT,WB/2021-22/0357 dated 02.12.2021; classification thresholds cross-checked against the WBUT First Rules and Regulations and current third-party transcriptions because MAKAUT's PDFs at makautwb.ac.in are image-scanned. Formerly WBUT. Note: 'E' grade = Excellent (9 points), not fail. MAKAUT's classification thresholds are anchored at round-number CGPAs (7.50 / 6.50 / 5.50) rather than the conventional 70 / 60 / 50 % bands, so the percentage equivalents come out at 67.5 / 57.5 / 47.5 — that is the actual rule, not an off-by-half misprint.

What CGPA do I need for distinction at MAKAUT?
First Class with Distinction at MAKAUT requires a CGPA of 7.50 or higher AND the candidate must have zero backlogs throughout the entire degree programme — per the WBUT/MAKAUT regulations, even a backlog that the student eventually clears in a later semester disqualifies them from Distinction, regardless of the final CGPA. The cleared subject still counts toward the CGPA, but the classification on the certificate is downgraded to First Class. First Class (without Distinction) needs CGPA 6.50 or higher; Second Class needs 5.50; below 5.50 down to the 4.75 minimum-pass floor the degree is awarded with a Pass classification.
How do I get an official MAKAUT CGPA-to-percentage conversion certificate?
MAKAUT publishes its CGPA-to-percentage method officially: Percentage = (CGPA − 0.75) × 10, per Letter No. COE/MAKAUT,WB/2021-22/0357. Because the formula is on record, the percentage your transcript implies is fixed — a final DGPA of 7.50 works out to 67.5%. MAKAUT reports a Discipline Grade Point Average (DGPA) on the consolidated grade card, and the same formula converts it. For a document that states the percentage, apply through the MAKAUT Member's Area for a transcript or duplicate grade card, or ask your college's Controller of Examinations to issue the conversion on the university's own format. Confirm the current fee and turnaround with the examination section before applying.
