What is a CGPA Calculator?
A CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) calculator is an online tool designed to help students determine their overall academic performance based on grades and credit hours. It simplifies the process of calculating CGPA by automating the formula:
CGPA = (Total Grade Points × Credit Hours) ÷ Total Credit Hours
This tool is especially useful for SRM University students who want to track their progress and plan their academic journey effectively.
Transparency Matters
At SRM University, transparency in academic evaluations is crucial. Our SRM CGPA Calculator ensures that students can independently verify their grades and understand how their CGPA is calculated. This promotes trust and clarity in the grading system.
The Benefits of Transparency
- Clarity: Students can see exactly how their grades contribute to their CGPA.
- Planning: Helps students set realistic academic goals and track their progress.
- Confidence: Reduces confusion and builds trust in the evaluation process.
Elements of CGPA
CGPA calculation involves two key elements:
- Grade Points: Each grade corresponds to a specific point value (e.g., O = 10, A+ = 9).
- Credit Hours: The weightage assigned to each course based on its importance.
What is CGPA?
CGPA stands for Cumulative Grade Point Average. It is a measure of a student's overall academic performance across all semesters. At SRM University, CGPA is calculated using the formula:
CGPA = (Sum of Grade Points × Credit Hours) ÷ Total Credit Hours
How to Calculate CGPA?
To calculate your CGPA manually:
- Multiply the grade points of each course by its credit hours.
- Add up all the weighted grade points.
- Divide the total weighted grade points by the total credit hours.
Our SRM CGPA Calculator automates this process, saving you time and effort.
Example of CGPA Calculation
Let’s consider a student who has taken three courses:
| Course | Grade | Grade Point | Credit Hours | Weighted Grade Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mathematics | A+ | 9 | 4 | 36 |
| Physics | B+ | 7 | 3 | 21 |
| Chemistry | A | 8 | 3 | 24 |
Total Weighted Grade Points = 36 + 21 + 24 = 81
Total Credit Hours = 4 + 3 + 3 = 10
CGPA = 81 ÷ 10 = 8.1
