Hello.

GPA and CGPA are grade systems used in different colleges and universities to assign an evaluative measure of a student’s scholastic abilities.

• Both GPA and CGPA are reflective of a student’s performance in a semester or the entire course that he has studied, but some colleges give more importance to GPA than CGPA while granting admissions to students.

• GPA is calculated for a single term or a year, whereas CGPA is calculated for the entire duration of a course.

• Many colleges have a cut off GPA for admission into different courses. This means that a student must consistently obtain high GPA.

• CGPA is for a whole course which means that a high CGPA requires good GPA in all years.

Hope this is helpful.

Good luck.
