What is GPA?

GPA (Grade Point Average) is a standardized measure of academic achievement calculated by averaging grade points earned across all courses, weighted by credit hours. Universities like VIT, SRM, and Anna University use GPA systems to evaluate student performance consistently. Understanding how to calculate GPA is essential for academic planning, scholarship applications, and career opportunities.

Formulas & Calculations

  • GPA = Σ(Grade Points × Credits) ÷ Σ Credits
  • Percentage (10-point scale) ≈ GPA × 10
  • Percentage (4-point scale) ≈ (GPA × 100) ÷ 4
  • GPA from percentage: divide by 10 (10-point) or multiply by 0.04 (4-point)
  • CGPA to GPA: convert CGPA to the target scale, e.g., GPA = (CGPA × 4) ÷ 10 when moving from 10 to 4 points

How to use this GPA calculator

  • For basic GPA calculation: Enter each course with grades and credits using the scale preferred by your institution (VIT, SRM, Anna University, etc.)
  • For GPA to percentage: Select the percentage conversion option to see estimates based on your university’s grading scale
  • To calculate GPA from percentage: Use our GPA calculator by entering percentage marks and selecting appropriate scale
  • For CGPA to GPA conversion: Enter your cumulative GPA and select target scale using our CGPA to GPA calculator feature

Example calculation

  • Basic GPA calculation: Four courses with grades and credits: A(9)×3, B+(8)×4, A-(8.5)×2, A(9)×3; total grade points = 101, total credits = 12, so GPA = 8.42
  • How to calculate GPA from percentage example: If percentage is 85%, then GPA = 8.5 (10.0 scale) or 3.4 (4.0 scale)
  • CGPA to GPA Calculation: If CGPA is 8.5 on 10.0 scale, equivalent 4.0 scale GPA = 3.4

Step-by-step guide: How to calculate GPA

  1. Identify grading scale: Determine if your university (VIT, SRM, Anna University) uses 4.0 or 10.0 scale
  2. Gather course data: Collect grades and credit hours for each course in the semester
  3. Convert grades: Map letter grades to numerical grade points per your university’s scale
  4. Apply weighted formula: Multiply each grade point by course credits
  5. Calculate average: Sum weighted grade points and divide by total credits
  6. Verify results: Use our GPA calculator to confirm manual calculations

Advanced conversions

How to calculate GPA from percentage

  • 10.0 scale method: GPA = Percentage ÷ 10 (e.g., 85% = 8.5 GPA)
  • 4.0 scale method: GPA = (Percentage × 4) ÷ 100 (e.g., 85% = 3.4 GPA)
  • University-specific: Some institutions like Anna University may use modified formulas

GPA to percentage calculator usage

  • Standard conversion: Percentage = GPA × 10 (10.0 scale) or (GPA × 100) ÷ 4 (4.0 scale)
  • VIT/SRM/Anna University: May have specific conversion tables for official transcripts

University grading scales

  • VIT: Uses 10.0 scale with S, A, B, C, D grade classifications
  • SRM University: Employs 10.0 scale with credit-based weighted averaging
  • Anna University: Utilizes 10.0 scale with specific grade point mappings for different performance levels
