CGPA stands for Cumulative Grade Point Average. It is a measure used in education systems to evaluate the overall academic performance of a student across all subjects in a particular course or program.
How is CGPA Calculated?
CGPA is calculated by taking the mean (average) of the Grade Points obtained in all subjects, excluding additional subjects, if any.
Here's the step-by-step process Convert GPA to Percentage to calculate CGPA:
- Obtain the Grade Points: Each subject is assigned a Grade Point based on the student's performance. The Grade Point for each subject is generally on a scale, for example, from 1 to 10, with 10 being the highest.
- Sum of Grade Points: Add the Grade Points of all the subjects.
- Divide by the Number of Subjects: Divide the total sum of Grade Points by the number of subjects. This gives the CGPA.
CGPA=Sum of Grade Points for all subjectsNumber of subjects\text{CGPA} = \frac{\text{Sum of Grade Points for all subjects}}{\text{Number of subjects}}CGPA=Number of subjectsSum of Grade Points for all subjects
Example:
Suppose a student has the following Grade Points in 5 subjects:
- Subject 1: 8
- Subject 2: 7
- Subject 3: 9
- Subject 4: 8
- Subject 5: 7
To calculate the CGPA:
- Sum of Grade Points = 8 + 7 + 9 + 8 + 7 = 39
- Number of Subjects = 5
- CGPA = 39 / 5 = 7.8
So, the CGPA of the student would be 7.8.
Note:
In some educational systems, CGPA can be converted to a percentage by multiplying the CGPA by a factor (commonly 9.5 in some systems like the CBSE in India). However, the exact method can vary depending on the institution.
