The official grade-to-point mapping, how it is applied, and where it comes from.
CRITICAL: which multiplier applies depends on your batch. Students admitted under CBCS (pre-2023) use CGPA x 9.5, per DU Letter No. E.C. 20-21.07.2019 dated 18.10.2019. Students under the NEP / UGCF 2022 framework (2023 onward) commonly use CGPA x 10. Using the wrong one can misstate your percentage by up to 5 points. A perfect 10.0 CGPA equals 95% under CBCS, not 100%.
Conversion shown: CGPA × 9.5 (CBCS context; verify batch/programme)
Alternative in use: CGPA x 10 (NEP / UGCF 2022 batches, 2023 onward), check which one your application requires.
| Grade | Points | Marks | Meaning |

| O | 10.00 | 90–100% | Outstanding |

Not under CBCS. Using the official x 9.5 multiplier, a perfect 10.0 CGPA converts to 95%, not 100%. This routinely confuses both students and recruiters. If your department publishes something different, that version governs your transcript.
If you were admitted before 2023 under CBCS, use x 9.5. If you were admitted from 2023 onward under the NEP / UGCF 2022 framework, x 10 is commonly applied. Confirm with your college's examination branch, and choosing wrongly can shift your stated percentage by around 5 points.
