Hello @Jessica Booker hope you are doing well. Could you please help me out with something? So, my current CGPA at university is 7.4/10 and the way that my university suggests calculating the equivalent percentage is by simply multiplying the CGPA with 10 which makes is 74% overall (a first by UK standards).
On the other hand, if we add all my module scores manually, my % would turn out to be different and lower but obviously no one asks us to calculate manually since the regulations clearly mention "The CGPA x 10 shall be deemed equivalent to percentage of marks obtained by the student for the purpose of equivalence to percentage of marks. "
Should I make notify this on the application because they might calculate it differently and not in the way that my university carries out the calculation.
Thanks.
You just need to provide your grades as you have them - you shouldn’t try to convert them on an application.On the other hand, if we add all my module scores manually, my % would turn out to be different and lower but obviously no one asks us to calculate manually since the regulations clearly mention "The CGPA x 10 shall be deemed equivalent to percentage of marks obtained by the student for the purpose of equivalence to percentage of marks.

Unfortunately the calculation you are suggesting isn’t as simple as 74% equals a first in the U.K.. Just provide the grades as on your transcript and the firm will know roughly what they are looking for from Indian universities.
