CGPA calculator
Your cumulative GPA is not the average of your semester GPAs — it is weighted by the credit hours behind each one. Enter every term you have finished and the calculator handles the weighting, then works out what the next term needs to look like.
How to use the cgpa calculator
- Add a row for each completed semester with its GPA and credit hours.
- Read your CGPA, total credits and quality points.
- Set a target CGPA and next semester's credit load to see the GPA required to get there.
How it works
CGPA is the sum of every semester's GPA multiplied by its credits, divided by total credits across all semesters. A light semester moves the cumulative figure less than a heavy one, which is worth knowing when you are planning a recovery term.
The target calculation rearranges the same equation: required GPA = (target × (existing credits + new credits) − existing quality points) ÷ new credits. If the answer comes out above the maximum on your scale, the target is not reachable in a single semester and the tool says so rather than showing an impossible number.
Common questions
Is CGPA the average of my semester GPAs?
Only if every semester carried identical credit hours. Otherwise the credit-weighted calculation used here is the correct one.
Can I raise my CGPA from 2.8 to 3.5 in one semester?
Rarely, once you have a few semesters behind you — the existing credits dominate. Enter your numbers and the target box will tell you exactly what would be required.
How do I convert CGPA to a percentage?
Conventions vary by university. Multiplying by a fixed factor is common but institution-specific, so use your own university's published formula.
