CGPA: Cumulative Grade Point Average

Cumulative Grade Point Average is a educational grading system.

It is used in schools and colleges to measure overall academic performance of a student. Students are allotted with grades (A,B,C,D, or F). It is an average of grade points obtained for all semester after the course completion up to a given academic term.

GPA ( Grade Point Average): It is also a grading average but, it is used to specify only for one term.

Different countries have their own grading standards. India’s grading system is based on percentage.

Percentage	CGPA	Classification
90% to 100%	O or A+	Outstanding
70% to 89%	A	First class
50% to 69%	B+	Second class
40% to 49%	B	Pass class
Below 39	F	Fail

Note: The CGPA is specified in the form of decimal number or digit. For example: 9.4 CGPA.

How to calculate percentage from the given CGPA

The percentage of marks can be calculated as follows:

• Subject wise percentage of marks = 9.5 * GP of the subject
• Overall percentage of marks = 9.5 * CGPA

Example: If a student have got total 9.6 CGPA, it means his/her total percentage of marks: 9.5*9.6 = 91.2%.
