GPA & CGPA Calculator

GPA (Grade Point Average) measures performance over a set of courses. SGPA (Semester GPA) is the GPA for a single semester. CGPA (Cumulative GPA) is the credit-weighted average of all your SGPAs across every semester completed so far.

Multiply each course's grade point by its credit hours, add up those totals, then divide by the total credit hours. For example, an A (4.0) in a 3-credit course contributes 12 grade points toward the average.

Multiply each semester's SGPA by that semester's total credits, add the results together, then divide by the combined credit hours across all semesters. This weights semesters with more credits more heavily, the same way individual courses are weighted within a semester.

There is no single official formula — it depends on your university. Common approaches multiply CGPA by 9.5 or 9.4, or use the offset formula Percentage = (CGPA − 0.75) × 10 used by some Indian universities on a 10-point scale. Always confirm the exact formula with your institution for official purposes.

On a 4.0 scale, 3.5 or higher is generally considered excellent, 3.0-3.49 is good, and 2.0-2.99 is average. On a 10-point scale, 8.5 or higher is typically considered excellent and 7-8.5 is good, though classifications vary by university.

Enter your current GPA, current credit hours, target GPA, and remaining credit hours into the target calculator. It works out the average grade you need across the remaining credits, and flags it if that average would exceed the maximum possible on your scale.

Yes. Pick a preset grading scale or edit the grade labels and points directly — the semester GPA calculator recalculates automatically using whatever scale you set.

VTU (Visvesvaraya Technological University) commonly uses Percentage = (CGPA − 0.75) × 10 on its 10-point scale. Select the Offset formula in the CGPA ↔ Percentage tab to apply it — but always cross-check against your official VTU circular, since formulas are occasionally revised.

Anna University typically publishes a direct grade-to-percentage conversion table rather than a single multiplier, though CGPA × 10 is commonly cited as an approximation. Check your official Anna University consolidated grade sheet or circular for the exact figure used for a given batch.

Most international admissions offices accept a percentage equivalent (commonly CGPA × 9.5 on a 10-point scale) or ask for a formal credential evaluation from a service like WES (World Education Services) or ECA. Use this tool for a quick estimate, then follow your target university's official conversion requirement for the actual application.

WES (World Education Services) is a credential evaluation service that many US and Canadian universities and employers require to translate a foreign GPA/CGPA into their local scale. It's typically needed for formal admissions or immigration applications, not for a quick personal estimate — this calculator is the fast version; WES is the official one.

It lowers it, but the effect shrinks as you complete more credits, since CGPA is a credit-weighted average across your whole program. Use the Target GPA tab to see exactly what average you need in future semesters to recover toward your goal.

Generally no — CGPA is fixed once your final transcript is issued. Some institutions allow backlog/improvement exams before the final transcript is finalized; check your university's specific policy.

Requirements vary widely by program, but competitive Master's and MBA programs often look for a 3.0+ (4.0 scale) or roughly 7.0+ (10-point scale), alongside test scores, work experience, and essays. Check each program's published minimum GPA requirement directly.

Yes — a 3.5 on a 4.0 scale is generally considered strong for graduate school applications at most institutions, though highly competitive programs may expect higher, especially combined with strong test scores or research experience.

Yes — on the common 10-point scale used by most Indian universities, 8.5 or above is generally considered excellent and competitive for campus placements, higher studies, and scholarship applications.

Enter exactly the credit hours your university assigns to that course, as shown on your syllabus or transcript — this varies by institution and even by course type (lecture vs. lab), so there's no universal default.

You'll get the most accurate result with real credit hours from your syllabus or transcript. If every course carries equal weight, entering the same credit value for each row produces a simple (unweighted) average instead.

No. Everything you enter lives only in your browser tab's memory for that session — nothing is saved to a server, an account, or your device's storage, and it clears when you refresh or close the page.

Yes. The layout, tables, and tabs are fully responsive and touch-friendly on mobile browsers.

The math (weighted averaging) is universal and always accurate — what varies between universities is the grading scale and the CGPA-to-percentage formula, both of which you can edit directly in this tool to match your institution exactly.

Most basic calculators only do one thing. This tool combines semester GPA, multi-semester CGPA, CGPA-to-percentage conversion (multiplier or offset formula), a proportional scale converter, and a target-GPA planner in one place, with a fully editable grading scale.
