CGPA stands for Cumulative Grade Point Average. It is a system used by many universities to measure a student’s academic performance over a semester or across multiple semesters.
Key Insight: Instead of showing marks in percentage, CGPA presents a summary of a student’s performance in the form of grade points on a scale of 4, 5, or 10.
How CGPA is Calculated
To calculate CGPA:
CGPA = (Sum of Grade Points × Course Credits) / Total Credits
Example Calculation
If you took 3 courses:
- Math – Grade A (8.0), Credits 4
- Physics – Grade B+ (7.0), Credits 3
- English – Grade A+ (9.0), Credits 2
Total Weighted Points = (8×4) + (7×3) + (9×2) = 71
Total Credits = 4 + 3 + 2 = 9
CGPA = 71 ÷ 9 = 7.89
