What is this Tool?
The CGPA Calculator helps students calculate their Cumulative Grade Point Average from semester-wise grades and credit hours. CGPA is the weighted average of all grade points earned across all semesters, where each course's grade point is weighted by its credit hours. This tool supports the 10-point grading system used by most Indian universities including IITs, NITs, and affiliated colleges.
