While searching for the same details online I found the answers in the official Navy website, they have given clear instruction to aspirants and advised them to ask their respective college and university for CGPA conversion:
1. Take out your University Approved Conversion Chart for conversion of your grades to percentages. 2. Compute your semester wise percentages based on the formula used by your University. 3. Note down all your semester wise percentages carefully.
EXAMPLE:
Candidate A has grading system for evaluation in his University. He has secured the following grades in his 04 years of study.
Year/ Semester
Credits Obtained
Total Credits
Formula For Conversion From Grades To Percentages
Calculated Percentage
(a)
Year 1 (Semester 1)

(c)

Now candidate A has to fill in the marks column, such that the total percentage is 60. He will have to enter 100 in maximum marks column and 60 in marks obtained column. Finally, the system will compute the aggregate percentage for his 04 years of study as 60 %. As explained, candidates should fill in the marks accordingly.

This question is very common amongst SSBCrack readers and followers, specially with the fresher. What if you have lost the application form for SSB Interview ?? Do not worry there are other ways to it, I will write in details regarding this issue in detail, and classify it according to the type of SSB entry.
1. CDSE and NDA (UPSC) Entry : Well, in this case there is no such problem, because you do not have much to loose. You have to apply online and have to make online payment for the successful submission of the application. Then you will get the notification in your e-mail regarding the same. After some time you can download you admit/hall ticket from UPSC website, yes you can search your admit card in UPSC site by your registration number or Name and DOB. Keep in mind that you must remember your roll number for checking the result online, even UPSC roll number is required during SSB Interview.
2. TGC and SSC(Tech): Well here comes the main problem, “ I didn’t save my TGC or SSC application form what should I do now ??” or “ I was unable to save my TGC or SSC application form due to system crash , what can I do now?? “, these are the common question in case of TGC and SSC(Tech). Well its not your fault , I must say that the official site of Indian Army i.e. Joinindianarmy.nic.in is ill managed , but you do not need to worry, why??
You can’t apply again if you have successfully applied once.
You can not get back the application form.
Does the above two points sounds sarcastic ?? well do not worry if you have filled your TGC or SSC(tech) online form successfully then you will get your call letter, even candidates do not send the necessary docs gets the call letter. But please follow the instructions as mentioned in the advertisement and stop worrying about your lost online form. Again it won’t be a problem during SSB Interview because there are many victims of site crash or server problem.
