1. What is CGPA?

CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) is a measure of overall academic performance calculated by dividing the sum of grade points earned by the total credits attempted.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the CGPA formula:

Where:

• Grade Points — Numerical value representing grade (e.g., A = 4.0)
• Credits — Weight/units for each course
• Total Credits — Sum of all course credits

Explanation: Each course's grade points are multiplied by its credits, summed together, then divided by total credits.

3. Importance of CGPA Calculation

Details: CGPA is crucial for academic assessment, scholarship eligibility, graduation requirements, and often used by employers to evaluate academic performance.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter grade points and credits as comma-separated values (e.g., "3.5,4.0,3.7"). Both lists must have the same number of values.
