What’s the difference between GPA and CGPA?

GPA (Grade Point Average) reflects a single semester’s performance, while CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) is the cumulative average over all semesters.

Can I use this if my university uses a different scale?

Yes! Our calculator supports multiple global presets and includes a 'Custom' option where you can enter your university's specific maximum scale.

Does a high CGPA matter for applications?

Yes, a high CGPA can significantly help with international university admissions, scholarships, and job applications. However, remember that real-world skills and experience are also very important.

What if I failed or repeated a semester?

You should include the actual grade and credit hours for all attempts. The weighted average formula will correctly compute an accurate CGPA that reflects your entire academic record.

What is CGPA?

CGPA stands for Cumulative Grade Point Average — the average of all your semester GPAs, weighted by credit hours. While your semester GPA shows how you performed in one term, your CGPA gives a complete picture of your performance across your entire academic program.

3 Simple Steps to Calculate Your CGPA

Enter Your Semester GPAs

Type in the GPA you got for each completed semester (for example, “Semester 1 GPA: 3.7”). You can find this on your official marksheet or transcript.

Enter Your Semester Credits

Type in the total credits for each semester (for example, “Semester 1 Credits: 17”). You can find these on your marksheet or transcript.

Why Grading Scales Vary Around the World

Grading systems differ by country and university. For example:

In the USA and Canada a 4.0 scale is common.
In India many universities use a 10-point scale and convert to percentage by multiplying by 9.5.
Australia uses a 7-point scale.
Some European countries use 20-point or percentage systems directly.

This calculator supports all these scales and allows custom scale entries so you can use the exact system your university uses.

Formula & Explanation

Formula for Weighted CGPA:

The calculator uses the standard weighted average formula:
CGPA = Σ(GPAᵢ × CreditHoursᵢ) / Σ(CreditHoursᵢ)

GPAᵢ is your grade point value for semester 'i'.
CreditHoursᵢ is the total credit hours for that semester.

Percentage Conversion:

The conversion to percentage depends on your selected scale:

For a 10.0 scale system: Percentage ≈ CGPA × 9.5 (common in Indian universities).
For other scales: Percentage ≈ (CGPA / Max Scale) × 100.

Who Should Use This?

This calculator is ideal for:

Students in any country (India, Pakistan, UAE, Australia, Nigeria, UK) wanting to track CGPA
Applicants converting their CGPA for university admissions or scholarship applications abroad
Professionals checking academic performance equivalence across grading systems

Tips to Improve Your CGPA

Stay consistent: Regular study habits outperform one-time efforts.
Focus on credits: Higher credit courses affect your CGPA more — treat them with priority.
Retake wisely: If your university allows retakes, improving a low grade early helps more than later.
Use this tool early: Keep tracking progress semester-by-semester to aim for your target CGPA.

Tips & FAQs
