MAKAUT DGPA to Percentage Calculator 2026 | Official WBUT Formula

What is DGPA in MAKAUT?

If you are a MAKAUT (formerly WBUT) student, your final consolidated marksheet shows a DGPA — not a CGPA. Many students get confused between these two terms and end up using the wrong number in job applications.

Here is the simple difference between all three grade points:

Term	Full Form	When Used	Where You See It
SGPA	Semester Grade Point Average	After each semester	Individual semester marksheet
CGPA	Cumulative Grade Point Average	During the course	Progress reports
DGPA	Discipline Grade Point Average	Final degree	Consolidated marksheet & degree certificate

DGPA is the final number on your degree certificate. This is the number you must use when applying for jobs, GATE, MBA, or higher studies abroad. When a company asks for your "CGPA," they mean your DGPA if you are a MAKAUT student.

Official MAKAUT DGPA to Percentage Formula

MAKAUT has officially published the formula for converting DGPA to percentage. The formula is:

Percentage = (DGPA − 0.75) × 10

This formula is confirmed by MAKAUT's official notice Letter No. COE/MAKAUT,WB/2021-22/0357 dated 02.12.2021.

⚠️ Critical Warning: Do NOT use DGPA × 9.5 or DGPA × 10 for MAKAUT. These formulas belong to other universities:

University	Formula	For MAKAUT?
MAKAUT / WBUT	(DGPA − 0.75) × 10	✅ Use this
CBSE / Delhi University	CGPA × 9.5	❌ Wrong for MAKAUT
Anna University / VTU	CGPA × 10	❌ Wrong for MAKAUT

Using the wrong formula can show an inflated percentage and cause your application to be rejected during background verification.

Step-by-Step DGPA to Percentage Calculation with Examples

Let us calculate percentage for different DGPA values using the official MAKAUT formula:

Example 1 — DGPA: 9.0

Percentage = (9.0 − 0.75) × 10 = 8.25 × 10 = 82.5%

Example 2 — DGPA: 8.0

Percentage = (8.0 − 0.75) × 10 = 7.25 × 10 = 72.5%

Example 3 — DGPA: 7.5

Percentage = (7.5 − 0.75) × 10 = 6.75 × 10 = 67.5%

Example 4 — DGPA: 7.0

Percentage = (7.0 − 0.75) × 10 = 6.25 × 10 = 62.5%

Example 5 — DGPA: 6.75 (The most important one!)

Percentage = (6.75 − 0.75) × 10 = 6.0 × 10 = 60.0% — Minimum for TCS, Infosys, Wipro

Example 6 — DGPA: 6.25

Percentage = (6.25 − 0.75) × 10 = 5.5 × 10 = 55.0% — GATE Minimum (General)

How is DGPA Calculated from SGPA?

Your DGPA is calculated as a weighted average of all your semester SGPAs based on credit points. It is not a simple average — each semester has different total credits.

Formula:

DGPA = (SGPA1 × Credits1 + SGPA2 × Credits2 + ... + SGPA8 × Credits8) ÷ Total Credits

Example for a typical MAKAUT B.Tech student:

Semester	SGPA	Credits	SGPA × Credits
Semester 1	7.5	22	165.0
Semester 2	8.0	22	176.0
Semester 3	7.8	24	187.2
Semester 4	8.2	24	196.8
Semester 5	7.6	26	197.6
Semester 6	8.1	26	210.6
Semester 7	7.9	24	189.6
Semester 8	8.0	22	176.0
Total	—	190	1498.8

DGPA = 1498.8 ÷ 190 = 7.89

Percentage = (7.89 − 0.75) × 10 = 71.4%

Does MAKAUT Print First Class or Distinction on the Degree?

This is one of the most common questions from MAKAUT students. The answer is No.

MAKAUT officially does not award any class or division (First Class, Second Class, Distinction) on the degree certificate. Only the DGPA is printed on your final grade card.

However, for reference, here is how DGPA maps to traditional class divisions:

DGPA Range	Percentage	Traditional Division
9.0 and above	82.5%+	Distinction (informal)
7.5 – 8.99	67.5% – 82.4%	First Class (informal)
6.0 – 7.49	52.5% – 67.4%	Second Class (informal)
5.0 – 5.99	42.5% – 52.4%	Pass Class (informal)

These divisions are not officially printed — they are only for your reference.

How to Get an Official MAKAUT Percentage Certificate

If any company or institution does not accept the calculated percentage, you can request an official percentage equivalence certificate from MAKAUT:

Step 1: Visit the MAKAUT Controller of Examinations office or apply online through the MAKAUT portal.

Step 2: Submit your final consolidated marksheet and degree certificate copies.

Step 3: Pay the applicable fee and request a "Percentage Equivalence Certificate."

Step 4: MAKAUT will issue an official certificate showing your percentage based on the official formula.

In practice, most major companies (TCS, Infosys, Wipro, Cognizant) already recognize the MAKAUT formula. Showing them the official MAKAUT notice is usually sufficient during background verification.
