CGPA Calculator

Grading systems can differ between universities, colleges, and programs in Nepal. Select the grading scale that applies to your institution.
What is CGPA?
CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) is the average of grade points earned across all semesters, weighted by credit hours. It gives a comprehensive view of a student's academic performance throughout their program.
How is CGPA calculated?
Credit hours determine the weight of each course. A 4-credit course with grade A (4.0) contributes 16 grade points, while a 2-credit course with the same grade contributes only 8.
GPA vs CGPA
GPA (Grade Point Average) represents your performance in a single semester. CGPA represents your cumulative performance across all semesters. For example, if you scored 3.6 in semester 1 (18 credits) and 3.8 in semester 2 (20 credits), your CGPA would be 3.71, not simply the average of 3.6 and 3.8.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate CGPA?
Enter each semester's GPA and credit hours, then click Calculate CGPA. The formula is: CGPA = Σ(Semester GPA × Credits) ÷ Total Credits.
How is semester GPA calculated?
Enter each subject's grade and credit hours. GPA = Σ(Grade Point × Credit Hours) ÷ Total Credit Hours.
How do credit hours affect CGPA?
Higher-credit courses have more weight. A 4-credit A impacts CGPA more than a 2-credit A.
How do I calculate CGPA from semester GPA?
You cannot simply average semester GPAs if they have different credit hours. Use the weighted formula: CGPA = Σ(GPA × Credits) ÷ Σ(Credits).
Can CGPA be converted to percentage?
It depends on your grading system. The calculator shows an estimated percentage when the grading system supports it. Not all systems have a verified conversion formula.
What is a good CGPA?
This depends on your institution and program. Generally, 3.5+ is considered excellent, 3.0+ is very good, and 2.5+ is good on a 4.0 scale.
