CGPA to Percentage

Some students prefer the use of CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) while others prefer the use of percentages in order to represent their performance. CGPA is widely practices in many institutions of learning throughout the world in that it offers an overall GPA for cumulate performance of the student in all his/ her subjects with most of them being on a scale. It highlights how student has been performing on cumulative basis through out their course. On the other hand, the percent system computes the total marks scored by the candidates and divides it by the total marks that one can get in a subject and then multiply by 100 to give an expression like ‘x%’. This statement simply makes so much sense because in order to transform a CGPA to a percentage, a standard formula is usually applied, whereby the CGPA is multiplied by a certain coefficient and then added to a predetermined constant which gives an equivalent score in the percentage scale.
