What is CGPA:

CGPA stands for Cumulative Grade Point Average. It is a way to measure your academic performance in a semester or over an entire course. Instead of marks or percentage, universities like MG University use CGPA on a 10-point scale. This makes it easier to evaluate students fairly across different subjects.

For example:

• A CGPA of 9.0 means excellent performance
• A CGPA of 6.0 means average performance

While CGPA is great for internal evaluation, percentages are still preferred by employers and many universities, especially outside Kerala or abroad. That’s why knowing how to convert CGPA into a percentage is important.
