What is CGPA?
CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) is a grading system used by universities and schools to assess overall academic performance. Unlike a simple percentage, CGPA averages all your subject grade points over a semester or full course. Different institutions use different scales — most Indian universities use a 10-point scale, while US universities use a 4-point scale.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do different universities use different conversion formulas?Each university calibrates its grading relative to its own difficulty and marking standards. The ×9.5 formula is a CBSE standard — other universities have independently developed their own scales.
What CGPA is needed for higher studies abroad?Most US universities require a minimum GPA of 3.0/4.0 (equivalent to ~75% or CGPA of 7.5–8.0/10 in India) for master's programmes. Top universities like MIT, Stanford prefer 3.5+/4.0.
How do I calculate my CGPA from grades?CGPA = Sum of (Grade Point × Credit Hours) for all subjects ÷ Total Credit Hours. Each subject's grade point is multiplied by the number of credits it carries.
Is CGPA better than percentage?CGPA provides a standardised measure that accounts for different subject difficulty levels and credit weightings. Percentage is simpler and more universally understood. Both are used depending on the institution.
