Multiply each course grade point by its credits, add those up, then divide by the total credits. An A (4.0) in a 3-credit course contributes 12 grade points.
Many Indian universities use percentage = CGPA × 9.5, so 8.0 CGPA is about 76%. Some use different multipliers — check your handbook.
On the 4.0 scale, 3.5 and above is generally strong, 3.0 is solid, and many graduate programmes set 3.0 as a minimum. Standards vary by field and institution.
WAM (Weighted Average Mark) and CWA (Cumulative Weighted Average), used mainly at Australian universities, convert to GPA on a scale each institution sets itself — there is no universal formula. Check your university's official conversion table; most publish one for graduate and scholarship applications.
On the table above, 83% falls in the B range (83-86), which is 3.0 on the 4.0 scale. Enter your actual course grades above for a precise weighted figure rather than a single average.
Yes — every course is weighted by its credit hours, so a 4-credit A counts twice as much toward the total as a 2-credit A. That credit-weighting is what makes it a GPA rather than a plain average of grades.
