CGPA Calculator
Calculate your Cumulative Grade Point Average on the 10-point scale used by IITs, NITs, VTU, Anna University, and most Indian universities. Includes conversion to US 4.0 GPA.
How to Use This CGPA Calculator
Enter each subject with its grade points (on a 0–10 scale) and the number of credits assigned to that subject. The calculator instantly computes your CGPA using the weighted average formula adopted by most Indian universities under the UGC and AICTE grading framework, including IITs, NITs, and VTU-affiliated colleges.
Use the Calculate CGPA tab to get your CGPA from individual subject grades. Switch to the Convert to US GPA tab to see how your CGPA translates to the 4.0 scale. The Advanced tier below adds multi-semester tracking and university-specific scales. The Professional tier provides full transcript analysis with international conversions.
CGPA Formula
Example: Subject A (8 GP × 4 credits) + Subject B (7 GP × 3 credits)
= (32 + 21) ÷ (4 + 3) = 53 ÷ 7 = 7.57 CGPA
CGPA is a weighted average of grade points across all subjects, where each subject's contribution is weighted by its credit load. A 4-credit subject has twice the influence on your CGPA as a 2-credit subject.
CGPA to US GPA Conversion
Example: CGPA 8.0 → (8.0 − 0.5) × 10 ÷ 25 = 3.00 US GPA
Example: CGPA 9.5 → (9.5 − 0.5) × 10 ÷ 25 = 3.60 US GPA
This formula is one widely referenced approximation. WES and ECE use their own internal scales. When submitting applications to US graduate programs, always clarify the conversion methodology with the receiving institution.
