The Grade Point Average (GPA) is computed from the grades as a measure of the student’s performance. The GPA is based on the grades of the current term, while the Cumulative GPA (CGPA) is based on the grades in all courses taken after joining the programme of study. The contribution of each course to the GPA is the product of the number of credits and the grade point corresponding to the grade obtained. For instance, if it is a 3-credit course, and the student gets a B grade (which corresponds to 6 grade points, then the contribution of the course to the total grade points is equal to 3 x 7, or 21. To get the GPA for a semester, one adds the grade point contributions of all the courses taken in the semester, and divides this total by the number of credits. The CGPA is similarly calculated, the only difference being that one considers the grade point contributions of all the courses taken in all the terms. The GPA and CGPA are rounded off to the first decimal place.
