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

CGPA = Σ(Grade Points × Credit Hours) ÷ Total Credit Hours

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

US GPA = (CGPA − 0.5) × 10 ÷ 25 (capped at 4.0)

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

SGPA is calculated for a single semester only. CGPA is calculated across all semesters completed so far. Your CGPA is typically a weighted average of all your SGPAs weighted by the number of credits in each semester.
Most top Indian IT companies and PSUs set a CGPA cutoff between 6.0 and 7.5. A CGPA of 7.5 puts you in a competitive position for most campus placements at tier-1 and tier-2 engineering colleges.
The most common formula in India is Percentage = CGPA × 9.5, recommended by CBSE. For engineering colleges, VTU uses CGPA × 10 − 7.5. The formula varies by institution. Use our CGPA to Percentage calculator for all university-specific formulas.
The core formula (weighted average of grade points) is the same, but the letter grade to grade point mapping can differ. VTU uses O=10, A+=9, A=8, B+=7, B=6, C=5, P=4, F=0. Anna University and Mumbai University use slightly different scales. Always verify your university's specific grading chart.
