How to Calculate CGPA from Marks?

To know how to calculate CGPA from marks, follow these steps:

1. Identify Your Marks: List the marks you received in each subject.
2. Convert to Grade Points: Use your institution’s grading scale to convert marks into grade points.
3. Calculate Total Grade Points and Credits: Sum the grade points based on the credits for each course.
4. Apply the CGPA Formula: Use the CGPA formula to find your average.

Example Calculation

Suppose a student received the following marks:

Course	Marks	Grade	Credits	Grade Points
Math	75	A	4	8
Science	85	A+	3	9
Literature	65	B+	4	7
History	55	B	3	6
English	75	A	4	8

To calculate CGPA, first convert marks to grade points. For example:

Add the grade points: (8 × 4) + (9 × 3) + (7 × 4) + (6 × 3) + (8 × 4) = 32 + 27 + 28 + 18 + 32 = 137

Divide by the total credits: 137 / 18 = 7.6

Your CGPA would be 7.6.

Alternatively you can sum up all the grade points and divide them by number of subject to reach the same result.

CGPA = Sum of Total Grade Points/No of Total Subjects = ( 8 + 9 + 7 + 6 + 8 )/5 = 38/5 = 7.6
