CGPA Calculator

Compute cumulative GPA across semesters (weighted by credits)

Worked Example

  1. Semester 1: GPA 3.5, Credits 15 → Points = 52.5
  2. Semester 2: GPA 3.8, Credits 16 → Points = 60.8
  3. Semester 3: GPA 3.2, Credits 14 → Points = 44.8
  4. Total Points = 52.5 + 60.8 + 44.8 = 158.1; Total Credits = 45
  5. CGPA = 158.1 / 45 ≈ 3.513

🎓Formula

CGPA = Σ(Semester GPA × Credits) / Σ(Credits)

💡How it works

Use this CGPA calculator to combine semester GPAs into a cumulative average weighted by credit hours. Helpful for academic planning and transcripts.

ℹ️ What is CGPA Calculator?

A CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) calculator computes your overall academic performance across all semesters in a university program. It is the standard measurement used in Indian universities, engineering colleges, and many Asian academic systems.

📐 Formula

CGPA = Σ(Semester GPA × Credit Hours) / Σ(Total Credit Hours)
SGPA— Semester Grade Point Average
Credits— Credit load for each semester
CGPA— Cumulative = weighted average across all semesters
Percentage— CGPA × 9.5 (common conversion for engineering)

✏️ Worked Example

Sem 1: SGPA 8.2, Credits 20: 8.2 × 20 = 164
Sem 2: SGPA 7.8, Credits 22: 7.8 × 22 = 171.6
Sem 3: SGPA 8.5, Credits 21: 8.5 × 21 = 178.5
  1. 1Total quality points = 164 + 171.6 + 178.5 = 514.1
  2. 2Total credits = 20 + 22 + 21 = 63
  3. 3CGPA = 514.1 / 63 = 8.16
  4. 4Approximate percentage = 8.16 × 9.5 = 77.5%
✅ Result: CGPA = 8.16 | Percentage ≈ 77.5%

💡 How to Interpret Results

  • ▸9.0 – 10.0: Outstanding — equivalent to First Class with Distinction.
