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Withdrawn or audited courses normally do not factor into CGPA—confirm with your academic office.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, convert between CGPA and percentage, and adapt the calculator for different academic rules.

How to calculate CGPA?

To calculate CGPA, multiply the grade points earned in each subject by its credit value, sum those weighted points across all semesters, and divide by the total credits attempted. For example, if you earned 8 grade points in a 4-credit course and 7 grade points in a 3-credit course, the weighted sum is (8×4)+(7×3)=53. Divide 53 by 7 total credits to get a CGPA of 7.57. This calculator automates the entire process—just enter your courses, credits, and grades.

What is 75% as CGPA?

On a 10-point scale, you can convert percentage to CGPA by dividing the percentage by 9.5 (the standard CBSE/university formula). Using this method, 75% equals approximately 7.89 CGPA. Some universities use a simpler conversion of dividing by 10, which gives 7.5 CGPA. Always check your institution's official conversion formula, as it may vary between universities.

How to convert CGPA to percentage?

The most widely used formula to convert CGPA to percentage is: Percentage = CGPA × 9.5. This formula is recommended by CBSE, many Indian universities, and several international institutions. For example, a CGPA of 8.2 converts to 8.2 × 9.5 = 77.9%. Some universities use different multipliers (such as 10 or 9.0), so verify with your academic office. To convert percentage back to CGPA, simply divide the percentage by 9.5.

How much is 5.0 CGPA?

A CGPA of 5.0 on a 10-point scale means your weighted grade points equal half of the maximum. Using the standard conversion (CGPA × 9.5), a 5.0 CGPA equals approximately 47.5%. This usually indicates consistent C or pass-level grades. On a 4-point scale, 5.0 is not applicable since the maximum is 4.0. If you have a 5.0 on a 10-point scale, focusing on higher grades in upcoming semesters can significantly improve your cumulative CGPA.

What is the formula for CGPA?

The standard CGPA formula is: CGPA = Σ(Grade Points × Credit Hours) ÷ Σ(Credit Hours). In this formula, you multiply the grade point earned in each course by that course's credit hours to get weighted points. Then sum all weighted points and divide by the total credit hours across all courses. For cumulative CGPA across multiple semesters, include the weighted points and credits from every semester. Related formulas: CGPA to Percentage = CGPA × 9.5, and Percentage to CGPA = Percentage ÷ 9.5.

How much CGPA is 69%?

Using the standard conversion formula (Percentage ÷ 9.5), 69% equals approximately 7.26 CGPA on a 10-point scale. With the simpler divide-by-10 method, it gives 6.9 CGPA. The exact value depends on your university's conversion policy. Entering your actual grades and credits into the calculator provides a more precise result, especially if your institution uses custom grade-point mappings.
