Understanding GPA vs CGPA
GPA (Grade Point Average) represents your academic performance for a single semester or term. It's calculated by multiplying each course's grade points by its credit hours, summing these values, and dividing by total credit hours.
CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) shows your overall academic performance across all semesters. It's the weighted average of all your semester GPAs, giving you a comprehensive view of your academic standing.
