Here is how you calculate your CGPA

CGPA is mentioned on the report card and it is easy to calculate it as well.

Add the grade points for the five main subjects. For example, if your grade points for the five main subjects are:

Subject 1 – 8

Subject 2 – 9

Subject 3 – 7

Subject 4 – 9

Subject 5 – 7

Step 1: Add the grade points – 8+9+7+9+7 = 40

Step 2: Divide the sum by 5

Therefore, your CGPA is: 40/5 = 8

Now comes the question of how to calculate your percentage from CGPA.

To do so, multiply the CGPA obtained above with a factor 9.5.

Hence, if CGPA is 8.0 then the percentile is 8*9.5 = 76 percent
