How CGPA Is Calculated
CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) is a credit-weighted average of your grade points. Courses with more credits count more towards your CGPA.
CGPA = Σ(Grade Point × Credits) ÷ Σ Credits
CGPA to Percentage
A common conversion, used by CBSE and many universities, is:
Percentage = CGPA × 9.5
For example, a CGPA of 8.0 ≈ 76%. Always check your own institution's official conversion rule.
GPA vs SGPA vs CGPA
- GPA / SGPA — the average for a single semester.
- CGPA — the cumulative average across all semesters.
- Both use the same credit-weighted formula.
