What is CGPA?

CGPA stands for **Cumulative Grade Point Average**. It's a standardized way to measure your overall academic performance across all semesters of your course.

The CGPA Formula

The basic formula for calculating CGPA is:

CGPA = Σ(Grade Points × Credit Hours) / Σ(Credit Hours)

Step-by-Step Calculation

1. **List all your subjects** with their credit hours

2. **Convert your grades** to grade points (A=10, B=8, etc.)

3. **Multiply** each grade point by its credit hours

4. **Sum up** all the products

5. **Divide** by total credit hours

Example Calculation

**Total Credits:** 12

**Total Points:** 113

CGPA: 113/12 = 9.42
