MAKAUT Percentage to CGPA Calculator
Convert your percentage to Maulana Abul Kalam Azad University of Technology CGPA using the reverse of 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.
