What is CGPA?
CGPA stands for Cumulative Grade Point Average. It is an important metric used by universities, including Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU), to assess a student's overall academic performance throughout their course of study.
How is CGPA Calculated?
The CGPA is calculated by taking the weighted average of the Grade Point Averages (GPAs) obtained in each semester. Each semester’s GPA is multiplied by the corresponding credit points, and the total is then divided by the sum of all credit points.
