How It Works: CGPA Calculation on Our Platform
Our CGPA Calculator is designed to help you compute your Cumulative Grade Point Average quickly and accurately based on the input you provide. Here’s a breakdown of how the process works on our website:
Input Your Details:
- First, select the academic level and semester.
- For each course, input:
- Course Code (e.g., CSC 101)
- Grade received (A, B, C, etc.)
- Units for the course (1 to 5)
- You can add multiple courses by clicking the “Add Course” button.
Click on “SUBMIT” to Calculate
- Once you've entered all the courses for the semester, click on the **SUBMIT** button at the bottom.
- The system will instantly compute your current CGPA and display the result in the upper section of the webpage.
How CGPA Is Calculated:
- Each course has a specific unit (ranging from 1-5).
- Each grade corresponds to a certain number of points:
- A = 5 points
- B = 4 points
- C = 3 points
- D = 2 points
- E = 1 point
- F = 0 points
- The points for each course are calculated by multiplying the grade points by the course units. For example:
- A 3-unit course where you scored an A would be 3 units × 5 points = 15 points.
- A 5-unit course where you scored a B would be 5 units × 4 points = 20 points.
Calculating GPA (Grade Point Average) for the Semester:
- Once you've added all your courses and their grades, the system will sum up the total credit points for each course. This total is called theTotal Credit Points (TCP)
- The system also adds up the total course units you took during the semester, called the Load Units (TLU).
- Get the GPA the system divides the Total Credit Points (TCP) by the Load Units (TLU).
For example:
If your total credit points for the semester are 100 and the total units are 22, your GPA will be:
GPA = {100}/{22} = 4.54
Calculating CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average):
- The CGPA is the average of all the semester GPAs. To calculate the CGPA, the system takes the total credit points and total load units from all semesters and divides them.
- For instance:
- If in the first semester, your Total Credit Points (TCP) were 100, and in the second semester, your TCP was 105, the cumulative TCP would be:
- TCP(total)
=100+105=205
- If your Total Load Units (TLU) for the first semester were 22 and for the second semester 23, the cumulative TLU would be:
- TLU (total)=22+23=45
- Your CGPA would then be:
CGPA = 205/45 = 4.55
Final Output:
- After computation, your GPA for the current semester and your overall CGPA are displayed at the top of the page for easy access and review.
- ou can always go back and update course details if necessary by removing courses or modifying grades.
By following these steps, you’ll get an accurate measure of your academic performance. Understanding how your CGPA is calculated can help you plan better and aim for your academic goals.
