Frequently Asked Questions

What is CGPA in Nepal?
CGPA stands for Cumulative Grade Point Average. It is the overall GPA across all semesters of your program, calculated by weighting each semester's GPA by its credit hours. It appears on your final transcript and determines your degree classification (Distinction, First Division, etc.).
Is CGPA the same across TU, KU, and PU?
No. While all three use a 4.0 scale, their grade-point tables and pass thresholds are different. TU requires 40% to pass, KU requires 50%, and PU requires 40% per subject with a minimum CGPA of 2.0. Always use the correct university's grading scale.
How do I calculate CGPA from SGPA?
Do not average SGPA directly. Use the credit-weighted formula: CGPA = Σ(SGPA × Credit Hours per Semester) ÷ Total Credit Hours. A semester with 18 credits weighs more than a semester with 12 credits.
What CGPA do I need to graduate in Nepal?
At TU and PU undergraduate level, a minimum CGPA of 2.0 is generally required. At PU graduate level, minimum CGPA of 3.0. At KU, minimum C grade (2.0) per subject with no F in any course. Check your specific program's requirements.
Can I improve my CGPA in later semesters?
Yes. Since CGPA is a weighted average, strong performance in later semesters — especially in high-credit courses — can meaningfully raise your overall CGPA. Use this calculator to set semester GPA targets based on your current CGPA.
