Understanding GPA and how it's calculated in University system - How to calculate GPA

How to calculate University GPA and CGPA

GPA is derived by dividing the Total Grade/Quality point (TQP/TGP) by the Total Credit unit (TCU) for that semester.

CGPA - Cumulative Grade Point Average. (This is what you have after both 1st and 2nd semester. In summation and Division, amounting to it)

GPA - Grade Point Average (This is what you have after every semester)

Analyzing Grades

1. 70-100 = A

2. 60-69 = B

3. 50-59 = C

4. 45-49 = D 

5. 40-44 = E

6. 0-39 = F

................................................................

1. 4.50 - 5.00 = First Class

2. 3.50 - 4.49 = 2nd Class Upper

3. 2.40 - 3.49 = 2nd Class Lower

4. 1.50 - 2.39 = 3rd Class

5. 1.0 - 1.49 = Pass

How can I calculate my GPA? GPA is derived by dividing the Total Grade/Quality point (TQP/TGP) by the Total Credit unit (TCU) for that semester

C.U - Credit Units

TCU - Total Credit Unit

G.P - Grade Point

TGP or TQP - Total Grade Point or Quality Point

Thus;

GPA ..... This is derived by dividing the Total Grade/Quality point (TQP/TGP) by the Total Credit unit (TCU) for that semester.

For example:

If in a semester, a student earned 90 quality points for 21 credit units, the GPA will be; 

GPA = TGP/TCU

            90/21 

           = 4.28

HOW TO CALCULATE CGPA: 

CGPA is derived by adding the Total Quality Points (TQP) for all the semesters to date and dividing by the Total Credit Units to date for all semester... 1st & 2nd.

For example:

If in a semester a student earns a QP of 90 for 21 CU in the first semester and earns a QP of 87 for 20 CU in the second semester, His/Her CGPA will be ;

CGPA = TQP/TCU

          = (90+87) / (21+20)

         =   177 / 41

               = 4.31

Your CGPA for that session will be, 

CGPA = 4.31

.....................................Breaking it Down:

√ Let's Consider a 1st Semester Result as shown below;

S/n  Units.   Grade   G.P

1.       3    × (A) 5     =  15

2.       2    × (B) 4     =  8 

3.       2    × (A) 5     = 10

4.      3     × (A) 5     = 15

5.      3     × (C) 3      = 9

6.      3     × (D) 2      = 6

7.      2     × (E) 1.     = 2

     TCU.                   TGP

     =18                   = 65

  °

°   °

GPA = TGP/TCU

          = 65/18

            = 3.61

√√ Let us now consider 2nd Semester Result.

NB: We'd carry out same procedure in 1st semester then apply here. 

But let's assume our  TCU & TGP to be = 20  and = 93 respectively. 

GPA for second semester   GPA = TGP/TCU

             93/20

            = 4.65

.................................................................

√√√ You'll add first semester and semester together to get CGPA. AS As shown below;

Mathematically;

CGPA = TGP+TGP(1st & 2nd semester) / TCU+TCU(1st & 2nd Semester

   CGPA = 65+94/ 18+20

             = 159 / 38

                 = 4.184210

NB: Always approximate your point to 2 decimal places.

Thus:

 Your main CGPA = 4.18 

We wish you all the best, success and  academic Excellence
