What Is CGPA?

CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) is your overall academic performance average weighted across every semester you have completed. Unlike GPA, which only covers a single term, CGPA reflects your entire academic history on a 4.0 scale.

Because different semesters carry different numbers of credit hours, CGPA is a weighted average — a semester with 20 credits has more influence on your CGPA than one with 12 credits.

The Formula

CGPA = Σ(Semester GPA × Semester Credits) ÷ Σ(All Credits)

Example: Semester 1 GPA 3.8 (18 credits) + Semester 2 GPA 3.2 (20 credits) → CGPA = (3.8×18 + 3.2×20) ÷ 38 = (68.4 + 64.0) ÷ 38 ≈ 3.48.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is CGPA?
CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) is your overall academic performance average weighted across every semester you have completed, unlike GPA which covers only one term.
How is CGPA calculated?
CGPA = Σ(Semester GPA × Semester Credits) ÷ Σ(All Credits). Each semester GPA is weighted by how many credit hours that semester contained.
Why is CGPA weighted by credit hours?
Semesters vary in workload. A semester with 20 credits should carry more weight than one with 12 credits. Weighting by credits gives an accurate overall average.
What is the difference between SGPA and GPA?
SGPA (Semester Grade Point Average) and GPA refer to the same thing — a single semester's average. Enter each semester's GPA/SGPA along with its total credits to compute your CGPA.
