How CGPA Is Calculated

CGPA is a weighted average. Semesters with more credit hours influence your final result more strongly than low-credit semesters.

Formula: CGPA = sum(Semester GPA x Semester Credits) / sum(Semester Credits)
Weighted by Credits

A 21-credit semester contributes more to CGPA than a 12-credit semester, even with the same GPA.

Best Use Case

Use this to estimate final transcript CGPA, scholarship thresholds, and admission eligibility.

  • Pass/fail and withdrawal handling differs by institution.
  • Some universities cap certain grade points differently.
