1. What is CGPA?

CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) is a standardized measure of academic performance calculated on a 10-point scale. It represents the average of grade points earned across all courses.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the standard CGPA formula:

Where:

• \( Grade\ Points \) — Individual course grade (0-10 scale)
• \( Credits \) — Credit weight of each course
• \( Total\ Credits \) — Sum of all course credits
• \( \Sigma \) — Summation of all (Grade Points × Credits)

Explanation: Each course's grade points are multiplied by its credit weight, summed together, then divided by total credits to get the weighted average.

3. Importance of CGPA Calculation

Details: CGPA is crucial for academic assessment, scholarship eligibility, graduation requirements, and higher education applications. It provides a comprehensive view of overall academic performance.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the number of courses first, then input grade points (0-10 scale) and credits for each course. Ensure all values are valid (grades between 0-10, credits positive numbers).

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is a good CGPA on a 10-point scale?

Q5: How often should I calculate my CGPA?
A: It's good practice to calculate after each semester to track academic progress and identify areas for improvement.
