This tool will convert your DGPA to CGPA for you.
How to Use the DGPA to CGPA Calculator
This calculator allows you to calculate your cumulative grade point average (CGPA) based on your semester results (DGPA) and the respective credit hours. Follow the steps below:
- Enter the DGPA (out of 10) and the credit hours for each semester you wish to include in the calculation.
- Click the “Calculate” button.
- Your CGPA along with a breakdown of your weighted sums and total credits will be displayed in the results section.
How It Calculates the CGPA
The CGPA is calculated using the formula:
CGPA = (Sum of (Each Semester DGPA × Corresponding Semester Credits)) / (Total Credits)
The calculator iterates through each semester’s DGPA and Credits, validates the inputs, and calculates the weighted sum of DGPAs based on the credit hours. The CGPA is then derived by dividing the total weighted sum by the total number of credits.
Limitations
The current calculator has a few limitations:
- It assumes that all semester grades are on a 10-point scale.
- All fields must be correctly filled in with valid numeric values.
- If any semester has invalid data, it will not be included in the calculation and an error message will appear for that semester.
- The calculator does not account for different grading scales or non-numeric inputs.
