How CGPA is calculated
Credit-based grading systems assign a weight to each course. Multiply the grade points for a subject by its credit value, sum the results for the semester, and divide by the total credits attempted. To update your cumulative GPA, add the weighted points from previous semesters and divide by the combined credits.
For example, earning grades O, A+, A, B+, and B in five 4-credit subjects yields 152 grade points. Divide by the 20 credits attempted to get a semester GPA of 7.60. If you entered the term with a CGPA of 7.85 across 84 credits, your new CGPA becomes 7.79 after including the latest results.
Key reminders
- Only include credits for courses that count toward your degree requirements.
- Use the official grade-to-point conversion table published by your university.
- Backlogs are replaced by the most recent grade earned for that subject.
- Withdrawn or audited courses normally do not factor into CGPA—confirm with your academic office.
