What is GPA and CGPA?
Grade Point Average (GPA) is a number that indicates you score on an average. A
grade point can be a number or a letter. For example, if your grade is A it usually stands for a
number, the standard grade scale is 4.00. So if you get an A your GPA would be 4 and if you get
a B then the grade point goes to 3 and the scale keeps shifting according to the grading system.
There are different ways of estimating your grade point depending on what country are you in and
what institution you are enrolled in.
Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) is usually used to measure the overall
academic performance of a student. CGPA is calculated by obtaining the mean of the GPA that a
student is awarded in every semester and is divided by the total number of credits.
