What Is CGPA?
CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) is a grading system that shows a student's overall academic performance
as a number, usually on a scale of 10. Instead of showing exact marks, each subject is given a grade and a grade point, and the
average of these grade points becomes the CGPA. Schools (like CBSE) and most universities in India use CGPA, while many job
applications, entrance forms and scholarships still ask for marks in percentage - that is why a
CGPA to percentage and percentage to CGPA converter is so useful.
