What is the difference between GPA and CGPA?

GPA (grade point average) covers one grading period such as a semester. CGPA (cumulative grade point average) is the credit-weighted average across all semesters of your entire degree. Both are calculated the same way, but over different windows.

How is CGPA calculated?

For each course, multiply credit hours by the grade point to get quality points, then divide the total quality points by the total credit hours. The same sum is performed per semester for GPA and across all semesters for CGPA.

Which grading scales does the calculator support?

Two are built in: the Bangladesh NU/UGC 4.00 scale and the US standard 4.0 scale with plus and minus grades. A custom grade point option lets you match any other institutional scale.

Why does my CGPA not equal the average of my semester GPAs?

Because CGPA is credit-weighted. A semester with 18 credits contributes more to the cumulative average than a semester with 9 credits, even if its GPA is lower. Averaging the semester GPAs directly ignores this.

Can I add multiple semesters?

Yes. Use the Add Semester button to create as many semesters as you need, add courses inside each one, and the calculator aggregates all quality points and credits into one overall CGPA.

What does a custom grade point mean?

If your university uses grade points not in the standard lists, choose the Custom option and type the exact point value for that course. It is validated to stay between 0 and the maximum point of the selected scale.

Is my data stored when I use the calculator?

No. Everything is processed in your browser with JavaScript, and nothing is uploaded to any server. Closing the page erases your semester data.

How do I convert a CGPA to a GPA or percentage?

There is no universal conversion because scales differ. On a 4.0 scale a CGPA is directly a GPA over the whole degree. To report a percentage, check your institution's official conversion table, as those tables vary by country and university.

Should failed or repeated courses be included?

That depends on your institution. Some exclude retaken courses or treat them differently. Enter exactly what your official transcript counts so your calculated CGPA matches the registrar's number.

What is the difference between CGPA and GPA?

GPA usually refers to the grade point average of a single semester or term, while CGPA, the cumulative grade point average, averages every course across your entire academic program. The CGPA reflects your overall standing at graduation.

Can the calculator handle courses with different credit hours?

Yes. The calculator weights each course by its credit hours, so a four-credit course influences your CGPA twice as much as a two-credit course. This matches how universities compute the cumulative average.
