University providing CGPA but not grading on a curve I am studying at a university that provides with a CGPA (as mentioned on mark sheets) but they are not a curve. 

The thing is, although my cgpa is 7, I am fourth in the class from a total of 40 students. I am worried that it might be taken negatively when I apply for Graduate Studies. How can share this information across the admissions committee?

I am studying in a not so top university from India. I am studying computer sciences and will be applying for the same.
If you believe the CGPA data your university provides does not make your performance clearin your application package, it is your responsibility to clarify in your personal statement or try to achieve this through reference letters.
