Formula reminder

CGPA = Σ(grade points × credits) ÷ Σ credits

Weight each subject by its credit hours. Adding previous CGPA and credits lets you see the precise impact of this term.

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  • Withdrawn or audited courses normally do not factor into CGPA—confirm with your academic office.

Academic strategies that raise CGPA

Pair quantitative tracking with smart study habits to steadily improve term after term.

Audit your credit mix

Blend core, lab, and elective courses to balance workloads. High-credit core subjects weigh more heavily in the CGPA, so plan study time accordingly.

Track grade boundaries

Knowing the point threshold for each grade helps you prioritize assignments and exams that could move you into the next grade bracket.

Review trends each term

Compare semester GPAs to identify patterns. A dip may signal that credit-intensive courses or extracurricular commitments need rebalancing.

Frequently asked questions

Understand how to interpret your GPA results and adapt the calculator for different academic rules.

How to calculate CGPA?

Multiply the grade points earned in each subject by its credit value, add those weighted points for all semesters, and divide by the total credits attempted. The calculator automates this process—just enter every course with its credits and the grade you received.

What is 75% as CGPA?

On a 10-point scale, you can convert percentage to CGPA by dividing the percentage by 10. A 75% average therefore equals roughly 7.5 CGPA, assuming your university follows the standard 10-point conversion.

How much is 5.0 CGPA?

A CGPA of 5.0 means your weighted grade points equal half of the maximum 10-point scale. It usually indicates consistent C or pass-level grades; you may need higher grades in forthcoming semesters to reach honors or distinction thresholds.

How much CGPA is 69%?

Dividing 69 by 10 gives a CGPA of about 6.9 on the 10-point scale. Entering your actual grades and credits into the calculator provides a more precise value, especially if your institution uses custom grade conversions.
