What is CGPA?

Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) is an educational grading system used in schools and colleges to measure students' overall academic performance. The CGPA is calculated by taking the average of all the grade points obtained in each semester or SGPA in their entire study tenure. 

The CGPA is calculated for all the academic subjects omitting the supplementary course work completed during the education period. This can be easily converted into a percentage using the simple CGPA to percentage conversion formula. The CGPA is used by universities across the globe to offer admission to their institutions. 

Benefits of the CGPA system

The advantages of using the CGPA by education institutions are given below. 

• Learn without any pressure: This scoring pattern has relieved the exam stress of the students as there is no particular emphasis on the marks obtained. 
• Advanced grading pattern: Scoring the marks
• using the grades and calculating the overall performance based on the grades obtained indicates the advancement in the marking system. 
• Clear insight into the student's performance: The individual subjects’ performance of the students can be easily interpreted based on the grades obtained. This will guide the teachers to aid them in their exam preparation. 
• Identify the student's strengths and weaknesses: The student's performance can be easily identified and the necessary actions can be taken to improvise their scores. 
• The education system is simplified: With the new method of scoring, the education system has become easier and simpler for students in many ways.  

Disadvantages of CGPA system

Though CGPA has numerous benefits, there are also a few drawbacks we should know about this grading system. They are

• The level of competition among the students is reduced as they are only awarded a cumulative grade. Some students may be demotivated as there is no need to score a higher mark. 
• This marking system can be considered unfair, as the students securing 90 and 98 are given the same grade. 
• The grades are considered to reward more percentage than the actually secured marks. 
• The results may be inaccurate as the students scoring 89 and 90 are falling into two different grades and the difference between the two is immense. This may affect the overall students' performance. 

Difference between CGPA and GPA

The main difference between the CGPA and GPA is that GPA is the performance measure of the student for the individual semester and the CGPA is the overall performance measure of the students in their entire course duration. 

The other differences between the CGPA and GPA are mentioned below for your reference:

• The GPA is calculated for a shorter duration i.e one semester. The CGPA is calculated for the entire course duration. (i.e for the Engineering course, CGPA is calculated for 4 years - 8 semesters)
• The GPA of the individual semesters affects the overall CGPA as the latter is calculated based on the GPA. Thus a good GPA is necessary.
• International universities usually consider GPA for their admission eligibility as it will showcase the students’ performance throughout the course. 
• The 10-point CGPA grading system is used by Indian Universities, whereas the 4-point GPA is used by UK institutions. 
• CBSE board has a curriculum for CGPA calculation but not for GPA calculation. 

How to calculate CGPA?

The CGPA is calculated by dividing the total grade points obtained in all major subjects by the total credit points. The CGPA ranges from 0.00 to 10.00 and will be expressed using two decimal points. 

CGPA = ∑ (Ci*GPi)/ ∑ Ci Where Ci- Credit Points  GPi - Grade Points

How to convert CGPA to percentage?

To convert CGPA to percentage, you can use the following steps. 

• Step 1: Add the grade points of all the subjects in the course. 
• Step 2: Add the credit points of all the subjects. 
  Step 3: Calculate the CGPA by dividing the summation of grade points by the summation of credit points. 
• Step 4: Multiply the CGPA with 9.5 to obtain your overall percentage from CGPA. 

The CGPA To percentage calculator can also be used. For your easy reference, we have given the CGPA to percentage calculation. 

1. For instance, you have appeared for a 5 subject semester and the calculation is as follows, the scores obtained in the 5 subjects are:

Subject 1- 10
Subject 2- 8
Subject 3 - 9
Subject 4- 7
Subject 5- 8

CGPA = (10+8+9+8+7)/ 5
    = 44/5
    = 8.80

8.8 CGPA to percentage = CGPA*9.5
= 8.80 * 9.5 
        = 83.6%

2.For example, if you have scored the following grade points in your semester, 
Chemistry - 6
Physics - 8
Mathematics - 7
Psychology - 7

Then your CGPA calculation will be as follows, 

CGPA= (summation of the scores obtained in each subject)/ total number of subjects
    = (6+8+7+7)/4
    = 28/4
    = 7.00

CGPA to percentage= 7.00*9.5
                = 66.5%
