CGPA Calculator: How to Calculate Your CGPA
CGPA stands for Cumulative Grade Point Average. It is the average of all your semester GPAs, weighted by credits. Many universities in India, Nepal, and other countries use CGPA instead of GPA.
How CGPA is calculated
CGPA is calculated the same way as GPA — it is a credit-weighted average of all your grades. The difference is that CGPA specifically refers to your cumulative average across all semesters.
CGPA = total grade points earned ÷ total credits
How to calculate your CGPA
1. For each semester, calculate your semester GPA (SGPA)
2. Multiply each semester’s GPA by its total credits
3. Sum all the weighted GPAs
4. Divide by total credits across all semesters
Or use the CGPA calculator — it does the math instantly.
CGPA to percentage conversion
Different universities use different formulas to convert CGPA to percentage:
- CBSE: CGPA × 9.5
- Anna University: CGPA × 10
- VTU: (CGPA – 0.75) × 10
- MU: CGPA × 8.8
Always use your university’s official formula. The CGPA to percentage calculator lets you compare multiple formulas.
What is a good CGPA
A 7.0 CGPA on a 10-point scale is generally considered good. An 8.0 is strong. A 9.0 is excellent. But “good” depends on your university and program.
