Nepali transcripts report letter grades and GPA, but plenty of forms — Lok Sewa applications, foreign university admissions, scholarship and job applications — still ask for a percentage. Neither Tribhuvan University nor Kathmandu University publishes an official formula for converting a final CGPA back into a percentage, so students are left guessing which of the many conflicting formulas online to trust.
This converter shows the widely used approximation for your university next to the grading bands the university actually publishes, so you can see both the number and where it comes from. For anything official, confirm the figure with your campus or exam office before you write it down.
TU and KU grade each course from marks bands — for example, KU awards an A for 80 and above, an A− for 75–79 — and then report grade points on the transcript. That mapping goes from marks to grades, not back again, and neither university publishes a rule that turns a final CGPA into one official percentage. Any site claiming its formula is 'official' is overstating it.
In practice, Nepali students and most consultancies use a simple approximation: CGPA × 25 for TU and NEB results on the 4.0 scale, and CGPA ÷ 4 × 100 for KU. These are conventions, not regulations — two universities with the same CGPA can mean different things, which is why the official bands are shown next to every result here.
For most job applications, CVs and informal uses, the approximate percentage is what people expect to see. For documents that carry consequences — scholarship applications, foreign credential evaluations, government forms — write the CGPA exactly as it appears on your transcript and attach the transcript itself; if a percentage is mandatory, ask your campus exam section what figure to use.
If your transcript already shows a percentage or division, use that and ignore this converter entirely: the printed document always wins over any calculation.
With the widely used approximation (CGPA × 25), a 3.0 CGPA is about 75%. TU itself does not publish an official CGPA-to-percentage formula, so treat this as a convention and confirm with your campus for official documents.
No. TU's published grading scale maps marks ranges to letter grades (for example, 90 and above earns an A), but TU does not define an official conversion from a final CGPA to a single percentage. The ×25 figure is the commonly used approximation.
KU's evaluation scheme grades courses on the same 4.0 point scale but with different marks bands — an A starts at 80, not 90. The commonly used approximation for KU is CGPA ÷ 4 × 100, so a 3.2 CGPA is about 80%.
Yes — select NEB. The grading bands follow the NEB Letter Grading Directive (2078 BS), from A+ (4.0, 90–100) down to D (1.6, 35–39). The ×25 approximation is commonly used when a form asks for a percentage.
Yes — switch the direction at the top of the converter. The same approximations apply in reverse: percentage ÷ 25 for TU and NEB, and percentage ÷ 100 × 4 for KU.
