Understanding the CGPA Formula

The Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) is calculated by taking the average of all your Semester Grade Point Averages (SGPAs). The formula is:

CGPA = (SGPA₁ + SGPA₂ + ... + SGPAₙ) ÷ n

Where n is the number of semesters you've completed.

For example, if your SGPAs for three semesters are 8.5, 9.0, and 8.2, your CGPA would be:

(8.5 + 9.0 + 8.2) ÷ 3 = 8.57

SGPA vs. CGPA: What's the Difference?

Understanding the distinction between SGPA and CGPA is important for tracking your academic progress:

SGPA (Semester Grade Point Average):
  • Calculated for a single semester
  • Reflects performance in just the courses taken that semester
  • Helps identify semester-specific performance trends
CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average):
  • Calculated across multiple semesters
  • Represents your overall academic performance
  • Provides a comprehensive view of your academic standing
  • Often required for job applications and higher education admissions

CGPA to Percentage Conversion

Once you've calculated your CGPA, you may need to convert it to a percentage. The conversion formula depends on your university's grading scale:

10.0 Scale: Percentage = CGPA × 10

5.0 Scale: Percentage = CGPA × 20

4.0 Scale: Percentage = CGPA × 25

Some universities use alternative formulas:

  • VTU: Percentage = (CGPA - 0.75) × 10
  • SPPU: Percentage = CGPA × 8.8

Always check your university guidelines for the most accurate conversion method.

Why Track Your CGPA?

Your CGPA is an important academic metric that:

  1. Provides a cumulative view of your performance across semesters
  2. Helps identify trends in your academic progress
  3. Serves as a key criterion for scholarships and academic honors
  4. Is required for job applications and higher education admissions
  5. Helps set and track academic goals throughout your course

Frequently Asked Questions

How is CGPA different from SGPA?

SGPA measures your performance in a single semester, while CGPA averages all your semester performances to show your overall academic standing.

How many decimal places should I round my CGPA to?

Most universities round CGPA to two decimal places. Our calculator automatically provides results rounded to two decimal places for accuracy.

Can I use this calculator if I have backlog subjects?

Yes, but only include the semesters for which you have cleared all subjects or have official SGPA values.

What if my university uses credit weightage for different semesters?

Our calculator supports credit-weighted calculation (enabled by default), which is recommended for Indian universities. This method weighs each semester SGPA by its credit value, providing a more accurate CGPA calculation.

Is a 7.5 CGPA good?

On a 10-point scale, a 7.5 CGPA is generally considered good. It converts to approximately 75% which is usually classified as a "distinction" or "first class" in most universities.

How can I improve my CGPA?

To improve your CGPA, focus on earning higher SGPAs in your upcoming semesters. Since CGPA is an average, each new higher SGPA will gradually pull up your overall CGPA.

Our SGPA to CGPA calculator makes it easy to track your academic progress across multiple semesters. By keeping an eye on both your semester performance and cumulative average, you can set realistic goals and work towards achieving your desired academic standing.
