Understanding CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average)
CGPA, or Cumulative Grade Point Average, is a crucial academic metric that represents your average performance across all semesters. Unlike a simple average, CGPA is a weighted average, where courses with more credits have a greater impact on the final score.
The universal formula to calculate CGPA is:
CGPA = Total Quality Points / Total Credits
Here, “Quality Points” are the sum of all grade points multiplied by their respective credits. The calculator sums up these points from both previous and current semesters and divides by the total number of credits to find your accurate CGPA.

When adding your current semester’s grades, the calculator supports the following common grading systems. Select the one that matches your institution’s scale.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

- A: GPA (Grade Point Average) usually refers to the average for a single semester or term. CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) is the average of all your GPAs across all semesters of your course. This tool’s main function is calculating CGPA by combining previous semesters, but it can also calculate a single semester’s GPA if you only fill out the optional section.
- Q: How do I calculate my CGPA if my university uses a 7-point scale?
- A: If you are adding your current semester’s grades, simply select the “7-Point Scale” in the settings. The grade dropdown will automatically update with the appropriate grades (like HD, D, C) for you to select.
- Q: Can I include courses from multiple semesters at once?
- A: Yes! Use the main section to add your previous semesters’ final CGPA and total credits. The tool will combine everything for a true cumulative result. You can add as many previous semesters as you need.
