How to Calculate Your Anna CGPA
Anna University uses a 10-point CGPA where O = 10, A+ = 9, A = 8, B+ = 7, B = 6, C = 5 (the lowest pass), and U (or RA) = 0. Its official percentage conversion is (CGPA - 0.5) x 10, so an 8.0 CGPA equals 75 percent rather than the 76 percent the CBSE-style CGPA x 9.5 would give.
The calculator above uses the 10-point CGPA that Anna University reports. Enter each course with its credits and grade; the CGPA is the credit-weighted average, computed as the sum of (grade points times credits) divided by total credits. The tool also shows a 4.0-scale equivalent for US graduate applications and a percentage via the formula toggle. For the full multi-scale tool, see the India GPA calculator hub.

Converting Your Anna CGPA to Percentage and US GPA
Indian CGPA converts to a percentage using an institution-specific multiplier: the CBSE-style CGPA times 9.5, the Anna University (CGPA - 0.5) times 10, or a program-specific factor. Pick the right one in the percentage-formula toggle above. For a US 4.0-scale figure, the calculator shows an equivalent automatically; the GPA converter and the GPA scale reference cover the conversion in more detail. Other Indian institutions appear on the India GPA calculator and the GPA by country directory.
