How GPA is calculated
Each letter grade carries points on the 4.0 scale: A = 4.0, A− = 3.7, B+ = 3.3, B = 3.0, B− = 2.7, C+ = 2.3, C = 2.0, C− = 1.7, D+ = 1.3, D = 1.0, F = 0. Multiply each course's points by its credit hours, sum everything, and divide by total credit hours. A 3-credit A (12 points) plus a 2-credit B (6 points) = 18 points ÷ 5 credits = 3.60 GPA.
CGPA extends the same idea across semesters: (previous CGPA × previous credits + this semester's quality points) ÷ (previous + new credits). That's why early semesters move your CGPA a lot and later ones barely budge it — the credit base keeps growing.
Frequently asked questions
How is GPA calculated?
Sum of (grade points × credit hours) ÷ total credit hours. A 3-credit A and 2-credit B = 3.6.
What is the difference between GPA and CGPA?
GPA is one semester; CGPA is the credit-weighted average of all semesters so far.
Is a 3.5 GPA good?
Generally excellent — 3.5+ often qualifies for honors. Below 2.0 usually means probation. Standards vary by university.
