1. What is CGPA?

CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) is a measure of a student's overall academic performance. It is calculated by taking the weighted average of grade points earned in all courses, where the weights are the credit hours of each course.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the standard CGPA formula:

Where:

• Grade Points — The numerical value assigned to a letter grade (e.g., A=4.0, B=3.0)
• Credits — The weight or credit hours assigned to each course
• Total Credits — The sum of all course credits

Explanation: Each course's grade points are multiplied by its credit value, these products are summed, and then divided by the total number of credits.

3. Importance of CGPA Calculation

Details: CGPA is a crucial metric in academic institutions for assessing student performance, determining academic standing, qualifying for honors, and meeting graduation requirements.

4. Using the Calculator
