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.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is CGPA calculated?
CGPA = Sum of (SGPA × Credits for each semester) ÷ Total Credits across all semesters. Each semester's SGPA is weighted by its credit load.
How do I convert CGPA to percentage?
Most Indian universities use: Percentage = CGPA × 9.5. Some universities use CGPA × 10. Check your university's official conversion formula as it varies.
What CGPA is required for placements?
Most top companies require a minimum CGPA of 6.0 or 7.0. Premium companies and PSUs often require 7.5 or above. Government jobs through UPSC/SSC don't use CGPA.
What is the difference between SGPA and CGPA?
SGPA (Semester Grade Point Average) is your GPA for a single semester. CGPA (Cumulative GPA) is the weighted average across all completed semesters.
How do I calculate CGPA from SGPA?
Multiply each semester's SGPA by that semester's credits, add the results, and divide by the total credits. For example, 8.2 SGPA over 20 credits and 7.6 SGPA over 22 credits gives (164 + 167.2) ÷ 42 = 7.89 CGPA. Add your semesters above and the calculator does this for you.
How do I calculate semester-wise CGPA?
Add one row per semester with its SGPA and total credits. The CGPA updates as you add each semester, so you can see how every new semester moves your overall score.
How do I calculate SGPA for one semester?
SGPA = (credits × grade point for each subject, added together) ÷ total credits in that semester. For example, a 4-credit subject with grade point 9 and a 3-credit subject with grade point 8 give (36 + 24) ÷ 7 = 8.57 SGPA.
How do I convert CBSE CGPA to percentage?
Multiply your CGPA by 9.5. A CGPA of 8.4 is 8.4 × 9.5 = 79.8%. This is the CBSE formula, and it's the one this calculator uses for the percentage shown above.
What is the VTU CGPA to percentage formula?
VTU's official formula is Percentage = (CGPA − 0.75) × 10, for the 2015, 2017 and 2018 schemes. A CGPA of 8.0 becomes (8.0 − 0.75) × 10 = 72.5%. Check VTU's website for newer schemes.
What is the Anna University CGPA to percentage formula?
Anna University is commonly converted as Percentage = CGPA × 10, so 8.0 CGPA is 80%. Confirm the formula for your regulation on your marksheet or with your college before using it on an application.
What is the Mumbai University CGPA to percentage formula?
The commonly used Mumbai University formula is Percentage = 7.1 × CGPA + 11, so 8.0 CGPA is about 67.8%. Formulas can differ between schemes, so check the back of your marksheet.
My university isn't listed — how do I convert CGPA to percentage?
Most universities print the official conversion formula on the back of the marksheet or in their ordinance. Use that formula for job and admission forms. The percentage shown by this calculator uses the CBSE ×9.5 formula as an estimate.
What is a good CGPA?
On a 10-point scale, 8 and above is generally considered strong, and 7–8 is good. Many companies and higher-study programmes set minimum CGPA cut-offs, so check the requirement for the specific company or course you're targeting.
How can I improve my CGPA?
Focus on high-credit subjects first — they move your CGPA the most. Don't lose easy marks in internals, assignments and practicals, and clear any backlogs quickly. Use the calculator to test what SGPA you need next semester to reach your target.
Can I convert CGPA to a 4.0 GPA for studying abroad?
A simple (CGPA ÷ 10) × 4 gives only a rough idea. Universities abroad usually rely on their own evaluation or credential services like WES, which look at your full transcript, so don't treat the rough figure as official.
