GPA (Grade Point Average) is a single number summarising your academic performance on a scale that varies by institution - most commonly 4.0 in the US, 10.0 in many Indian universities, or letter grade to point conversions. A simple average of grades is inaccurate when subjects carry different credit hours - a 3-credit physics course should weigh more heavily than a 1-credit PE course.
The weighted GPA gives each subject a weight equal to its credits. Multiply each grade point by the credit hours, sum those products, then divide by total credit hours. This calculator handles as many subjects as you add and shows the final GPA on your institution scale.
Frequently Asked Questions
What GPA scale does this use?
The default is the 4.0 scale used in the US (A=4.0, B=3.0, C=2.0, D=1.0, F=0). Many Indian universities use a 10-point scale. Check your institution grading policy and enter grade points accordingly.
What is the difference between GPA and CGPA?
GPA usually refers to a single semester or year. CGPA (Cumulative GPA) averages performance across all semesters of a programme. CGPA is calculated by summing all grade points across all courses divided by total credit hours earned.
How much does one bad grade affect my GPA?
It depends on the credit weight. A D (1.0) in a 3-credit course drags down a 4.0 GPA more than a D in a 1-credit elective. The calculator shows the impact - add the bad grade and watch the GPA update.
