📊 CGPA Calculator
Calculate your Cumulative Grade Point Average with ease
1: What is the difference between GPA and CGPA?
GPA (Grade Point Average) typically refers to your grade point average for a single semester or term, while CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) is your overall grade point average across all semesters or terms completed. CGPA gives a comprehensive view of your academic performance throughout your entire course of study.
2:How do I calculate my CGPA if different courses have different credit hours?
To calculate CGPA with varying credit hours, multiply each course’s grade points by its credit hours, sum all these products, then divide by the total credit hours attempted. For example: if you scored 8.5 in a 3-credit course and 9.0 in a 4-credit course, your CGPA would be [(8.5×3) + (9.0×4)] ÷ (3+4) = 61.5 ÷ 7 = 8.79.
3. What grading scale does this CGPA calculator use?
Most CGPA calculators use a 10-point scale where A+ = 10, A = 9, B+ = 8, B = 7, C+ = 6, C = 5, and so on. However, some institutions use 4-point scales or different grade mappings. Always verify that the calculator matches your institution’s specific grading system before using it.
4. Can I include failed or incomplete courses in my CGPA calculation?
Yes, failed courses (typically graded as F = 0) should be included in your CGPA calculation as they affect your overall average. Incomplete courses may be handled differently depending on your institution’s policy – some assign temporary grades while others exclude them until completion. Check your academic regulations for specific guidance.
How often should I update my CGPA calculation?
You should update your CGPA calculation at the end of each semester or term when new grades are posted. This helps you track your academic progress, identify trends in your performance, and make informed decisions about course selection or study strategies. Many students also calculate projected CGPA scenarios to set realistic academic goals.
