How Delhi University Converts CGPA to Percentage

What is the official multiplier to calculate your final percentage at DU? As per transcript regulations for this premier central university established in 1922 in New Delhi, Delhi, the CBCS pattern calculation is strictly your Grand CGPA × 9.5. This means if your final transcript shows a 9.0 CGPA, your official score is exactly 85.5%. You must use this specific formula on your job or PG admission forms; mistakenly applying a generic CGPA × 10 scale will overstate your academic record by 4.5%.

What CGPA do you need to secure a First Class or Distinction at Delhi University? Because DU applies the 9.5 multiplier, the cutoff points are higher than many students initially assume. To achieve a First Class division (minimum 60%), you must secure at least a 6.32 CGPA. If you are aiming for a First Class with Distinction (75%), your target is a 7.89 CGPA. Keep a close eye on your grades, because finishing your degree with a 6.30 CGPA leaves you entirely in the Second Class bracket, which requires a minimum 5.26 CGPA (50%).

What is the minimum passing score required? Across DU's 16 faculties and 90 colleges, students need a minimum 4.21 CGPA to secure a Pass division, equating to 40%. Always multiply your final grade by 9.5 to report perfectly accurate figures to prospective employers.
