How to Convert CGPA to Percentage in Pakistan?
Short answer: HEC estimate: percentage equals CGPA divided by 4, times 100. That is the same as CGPA times 25. Example: 3.20 CGPA gives 80 percent. This is an estimate used for jobs and forms. Your university transcript is the official record. NUST is an exception. NUST uses CGPA times 25 minus 12.5.
Formula
GPA equals total quality points divided by total credit hours. CGPA equals total quality points across all semesters divided by total credit hours. Quality points for a course equal grade points times credit hours.
Worked example

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mathematics | 3 | A (4.00) | 4.00 | 12.00 |
| Physics | 3 | B+ (3.33) | 3.33 | 9.99 |
| English | 2 | A- (3.67) | 3.67 | 7.34 |
| Lab | 1 | B (3.00) | 3.00 | 3.00 |
