1. What is CGPA?

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

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the standard CGPA formula:

Where:

• \( GPA \) — Grade point average for each course (typically 0-4 scale)
• \( Credits \) — Credit hours for each course
• \( \sum \) — Sum of all courses

Explanation: Each course's GPA is multiplied by its credit hours, these products are summed, and then divided by the total number of credit hours.

3. Importance of CGPA Calculation

Details: CGPA provides a comprehensive view of academic performance across multiple semesters or courses. It's used for academic standing, honors determination, and often required for graduate school applications.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips:

• Enter GPA for each course (typically 0.0 to 4.0 scale)
• Enter credit hours for each course
• Add more courses as needed using the "Add Course" button
• Remove courses if needed
• All values must be valid (GPA between 0-4, credits > 0)

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q4: Can I calculate CGPA for multiple semesters?
