Semester programmes at TU, KU, PU and Purbanchal report results as a grade point average rather than a percentage, and the figure follows you into job applications, scholarship forms and postgraduate admissions.
Enter each course with its grade and credit hours and this calculator returns your GPA on the standard 4.0 scale. Credit hours matter as much as grades — a strong result in a one-credit course moves your GPA far less than the same result in a four-credit one.
Multiply each course's grade point by its credit hours to get grade points earned, add those across all courses, then divide by total credit hours. A 4.0 in a 3-credit course contributes 12 points; a 4.0 in a 1-credit course contributes 4.
This is why a poor result in a heavy course is hard to recover from, and why students sometimes find their GPA lower than they expected after a semester where the difficult subjects happened to carry the most credits. Averaging your grade points without weighting by credits gives a different — and wrong — answer.
This calculator uses the common 4.0 scale, where A is 4.0, B is 3.0, C is 2.0 and D is 1.0, with the usual plus and minus adjustments in between. It is the scale most Nepali semester programmes follow in outline.
The detail varies. Universities and even individual faculties differ on where the letter boundaries sit, whether A+ exceeds 4.0, and what the minimum passing grade point is. Take the exact table from your own programme's regulations rather than assuming — this tool cannot know which institution you attend, and it will not guess.
GPA is one semester. CGPA is the cumulative figure across every semester completed so far, weighted by the credits in each. Employers and admissions committees almost always ask for CGPA; your own semester GPA matters mainly as a signal of direction.
One weak semester affects CGPA less as you progress, because each new semester is a smaller share of a growing total. That cuts both ways — a strong final semester also moves a settled CGPA less than students hope.
Universities differ on how a repeated course is treated: some replace the original grade, some average the two attempts, and some record both while counting only the higher. This materially changes your CGPA, and it is set by your institution's regulations rather than by any general rule.
Incomplete and withheld results are usually excluded from the calculation until finalised, which can make an interim GPA look better or worse than the eventual figure. If you are reporting a GPA on an application while results are pending, say so rather than presenting a partial figure as final.
Multiply each course's grade point by its credit hours, add the results, and divide by total credit hours. Credit weighting is what makes it different from a simple average.
In outline yes, but letter-grade boundaries, whether A+ exceeds 4.0, and minimum pass grades vary by university and faculty. Check your own programme's regulations.
GPA covers one semester; CGPA is cumulative across all semesters completed, weighted by credits. Applications usually ask for CGPA.
It depends on your university — some replace the earlier grade, some average both attempts. Check your institution's regulations, as the effect on CGPA is significant.
There is no single official conversion in Nepal. Use whatever formula the receiving institution specifies, and otherwise report the GPA and its scale.
