- Track Semesters: Add multiple semesters to see your cumulative GPA update in real-time.
- Save & Export: Your data is saved automatically. You can download a detailed report to keep for your records.
Understanding GPA vs. CGPA
While GPA (Grade Point Average) typically refers to your performance across a single semester or term, CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) is the average of your entire academic record at your current institution. This calculator handles both by allowing you to stack semesters into a single cumulative score.
