A Python-based Grade Converter Application

The aim of this study is to provide a platform where university students can easily convert their cumulative grade point average (CGPA) to percentage. Usually, students are quite comfortable in percentage system as CGPA is a new concept to most of them. Percentage is the basic requirement criteria to be addressed/written in many official forms. As university students get their result in CGPA format, they need to convert them first in percentage, but the procedure of converting CGPA to percentage is not known to many. There are many websites and formulae available on the web, but the accuracy of each is different. In addition, the manual way of calculation can increase error rate. To overcome this issue, a system is proposed that converts CGPA to percentage in an accurate format. A student needs to enter his/her CGPA, and in just one click, he/she gets a converted percentage. The system is developed using Python’s GUI, i.e., Tkinter. The system can be executed in any operating system and is easy to use.
