1. What is CGPA?

CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) is a measure of a student's overall academic performance. It is calculated by dividing the total grade points earned by the total credits attempted across all courses.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the standard CGPA formula:

\[ CGPA = \frac{\sum (Grade\ Points \times Credits)}{\sum Credits} \]

Where:

Grade Points — The numerical value assigned to a letter grade (e.g., A=4.0, B=3.0)
Credits — The weight or value assigned to each course

Explanation: The calculator multiplies each course's grade points by its credits, sums these values across all courses, then divides by the total number of credits.

3. Importance of CGPA Calculation

Details: CGPA is a crucial metric for academic evaluation, scholarship eligibility, graduate school applications, and sometimes employment opportunities. It provides a standardized way to compare academic performance across different courses and semesters.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the grade points and credits for each course. Use the "Add Another Course" button to include all your courses. Grade points are typically on a 4.0 scale but may vary by institution. Credits represent the weight or value of each course.
