What is a GPA?
A GPA / CGPA Calculator computes your Grade Point Average (GPA) or Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) from your subjects' credit hours and grade points. It reflects your academic performance as a weighted average, where subjects with more credit hours have a larger impact on the final CGPA.
In India, the 10-point CGPA system under the UGC Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) is now the standard at most universities โ IITs, NITs, central universities, and most state universities including Anna University (Tamil Nadu), VTU (Karnataka), JNTU (Andhra Pradesh), and Mumbai University. This calculator covers both the 10-point Indian scale and the 4-point international scale.
Along with the CGPA, the calculator converts your grade to a percentage using the official UGC formula: Percentage = (CGPA โ 0.75) ร 10 โ so you can easily translate your CGPA for job applications, competitive exam forms, and foreign university applications that ask for percentage.
See the Grade Calculator for converting raw marks to grades, and the Percentage Calculator for other percentage calculations.
How to use this GPA calculator
- Select your Grading Scale โ 10-point (most Indian universities) or 4-point (US/international).
- For each subject, enter the credits (typically 2โ6 per subject) and your grade point (0โ10 for 10-point scale, 0โ4 for 4-point scale).
- If you have fewer than 6 subjects, set the extra subjects' credits to 0 โ they will be excluded automatically.
- The calculator shows your CGPA (highlighted), percentage equivalent, total credits, and total grade points.
- Open the Steps panel to see the credit ร grade point breakdown for each subject.

CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) is a weighted average of grade points earned across all subjects, where each subject's grade point is weighted by its credit hours. Formula: CGPA = Total (Credits ร Grade Points) รท Total Credits. For example, if you earned 9 GP in a 4-credit subject and 8 GP in a 3-credit subject: CGPA = (4ร9 + 3ร8) รท (4+3) = (36+24) รท 7 = 60 รท 7 = 8.57.
The UGC (University Grants Commission) formula for 10-point CBCS scale is: Percentage = (CGPA โ 0.75) ร 10. So a CGPA of 8.5 = (8.5 โ 0.75) ร 10 = 77.5%. Some universities use their own conversion: Anna University uses CGPA ร 10 โ 0.5; Mumbai University uses (CGPA โ 0.5) ร 10; VTU uses CGPA ร 10. Check your university's specific conversion formula. This calculator uses the UGC formula by default for 10-point scale.
CBCS (Choice Based Credit System) was introduced by UGC in 2015 and adopted by most central universities and many state universities across India. It uses a 10-point grading scale with letter grades: O (Outstanding) = 10 GP, A+ (Excellent) = 9 GP, A (Very Good) = 8 GP, B+ (Good) = 7 GP, B (Above Average) = 6 GP, C (Average) = 5 GP, P (Pass) = 4 GP, F (Fail) = 0 GP. Credit hours range from 1โ6 per subject depending on contact hours.
SGPA (Semester Grade Point Average) is the GPA for a single semester, calculated the same way as CGPA but only using that semester's subjects and credits. CGPA is the cumulative GPA across all semesters completed so far โ it is the weighted average of all SGPAs, weighted by semester credits. On your marksheet, you will see both: SGPA for the current semester and CGPA cumulative to date. CGPA is what matters for job eligibility criteria and postgraduate admissions.
For campus placements at IT companies (TCS, Infosys, Wipro, Accenture): minimum CGPA of 6.0 on 10-point scale or 60% equivalent. For product companies (Google, Microsoft, Amazon): no stated CGPA cutoff typically, but effective minimum is around 7.5โ8.0. For IIM MBA admissions (CAT): no formal CGPA cutoff, but shortlisting for PI rounds typically requires 6.5+ CGPA. For IIT/NIT M.Tech (GATE): CGPA 6.0โ7.0 is typically the minimum for admission. For PSUs (UPSC, BHEL, NTPC): typically require 60% or CGPA 6.5+ on 10-point scale.
The 4-point scale is used by US, UK, Canadian, and many other international universities. Letter grades map as: A = 4.0, Aโ = 3.7, B+ = 3.3, B = 3.0, Bโ = 2.7, C+ = 2.3, C = 2.0, D = 1.0, F = 0. A 4-point GPA is calculated the same way as CGPA โ weighted by credit hours. For converting Indian CGPA (10-point) to 4-point GPA for international applications: approximate conversion = (CGPA โ 0.5) ร 0.4, or use WES (World Education Services) for official evaluation.
Your grade point is shown on your marksheet or semester report card beside each subject. On 10-point CBCS scales, it is typically a value from 0โ10. Some universities show the letter grade (O, A+, A, B+ etc.) and you convert it: O=10, A+=9, A=8, B+=7, B=6, C=5, P=4, F=0. Credits per subject (typically 2โ6) are also shown on your marksheet or in the course structure document. Enter these values into the calculator for each subject.
Select your grading scale (10-point for most Indian universities, 4-point for US/international). For each subject, enter the credit hours and your grade point. Set credits to 0 for Subject 6 if you have only 5 subjects. The calculator shows your CGPA/GPA, percentage equivalent (using UGC formula for 10-point scale), total credits, and total grade points. The Steps panel shows the credit ร grade calculation for each subject.
Most Indian universities that follow UGC-CBCS now use the 10-point CGPA system: IITs, NITs, central universities (Delhi University, Hyderabad University, Jadavpur University), VTU (Karnataka), Anna University (Tamil Nadu), JNTU (Andhra Pradesh/Telangana), Mumbai University, Pune University, and hundreds of state universities. CBSE schools also switched to a 10-point CGPA system for Class 10 (replaced by percentage in 2017, but CGPA was used 2010โ2016).
Percentage is the absolute marks obtained as a fraction of total marks (marks obtained รท total marks ร 100). CGPA is a normalised grade point on a fixed scale (0โ10 or 0โ4), computed as a credit-weighted average of grade points โ not marks. Two students with 75% may have different CGPAs depending on credit distribution. CGPA is more standardised across institutions, which is why employers and universities increasingly accept it, but many older organisations still ask for percentage โ hence the need for a conversion formula.
Under UGC-CBCS, the minimum passing grade point is 4.0 (P grade = Pass). A student must secure at least 4.0 GP in each subject to pass. If the CGPA falls below 4.0 due to backlog subjects (F grade), the student is not eligible to receive the degree. Most universities also require a minimum CGPA of 4.0 or 40% aggregate to pass a semester. Engineering universities (VTU, JNTU, Anna University) typically require 5.0 GP (C grade) as the minimum for passing each subject.
Yes. CGPA is cumulative โ each subsequent semester's results change the overall CGPA. If you scored 6.0 in Semester 1 (on 20 credits) and score 8.0 in Semester 2 (on 24 credits): CGPA = (6.0ร20 + 8.0ร24) รท (20+24) = (120 + 192) รท 44 = 312 รท 44 = 7.09. Better performance in later semesters with more credits can meaningfully improve CGPA. Backlogs (F grades) in earlier semesters pull down CGPA significantly โ clearing them as early as possible is important.
