The GPA formula
GPA = Σ(grade points × credits) ÷ Σ credits. On the US 4.0 scale: A = 4.0, A− = 3.7, B+ = 3.3, B = 3.0, B− = 2.7, C+ = 2.3, C = 2.0, D = 1.0, F = 0. On the common Indian 10-point scale: O = 10, A+ = 9, A = 8, B+ = 7, B = 6, C = 5, P = 4 (the exact table varies by university). A 4-credit A counts twice as much as a 2-credit A, which is why credits matter.
Worked example
Worked example (4.0 scale)
| Maths: A (4.0) × 4 credits | 16.0 |
| Physics: B+ (3.3) × 3 credits | 9.9 |
| English: A− (3.7) × 3 credits | 11.1 |
| Total | 37.0 points ÷ 10 credits = 3.70 GPA |

Tips and common mistakes
- Weight by credits; never average grades equally unless every course has the same credit.
- Check your university's own grade table: + and − grades differ.
- Repeated courses may be replaced or averaged, depending on policy.
- Pass/fail courses usually don't count in GPA.
- Cumulative GPA uses all terms; semester GPA is just one term.
Frequently asked questions
How is GPA calculated?
Multiply each course's grade points by its credits, add them, and divide by total credits.
What is a good GPA?
3.0 or higher is generally good in the US; 3.5+ is strong.
What is the difference between GPA and CGPA?
GPA is usually per semester, CGPA is cumulative over the whole programme.
Do all credits count equally?
No, a 4-credit course counts twice a 2-credit one.
Is the 10-point scale the same everywhere?
No, check your university's grade table.
Can I raise my GPA late in the programme?
Yes, but each new credit has less weight as the total grows.
