GPA Calculator
Support for 10.0 (India) & 4.0 (Global) Scales
Calculated GPA
Multi-Scale Support
Unlike other tools, StudentCalcs allows you to switch between Indian Engineering (10-Point) and US College (4.0-Point) systems instantly without reloading.
Real-Time Results
No "Calculate" button needed. Your Semester GPA updates automatically as you type credits or select grades.
The Math
We use the weighted average formula: Σ (Credits × Grade Points) / Σ Total Credits to ensure 100% accuracy for university exams.
A Guide to Grade Point Average (GPA)
Understanding the numbers that shape your academic future.
What is GPA and Why it Matters?
Grade Point Average (GPA) is a global standard for measuring your academic performance. It's a weighted average where subjects with higher credits impact your score more, giving a true picture of your hard work. A strong GPA is crucial for scholarships, higher studies, and top-tier job placements.
Difference between 10.0 and 4.0 scale?
The 10.0 scale is widely used in Indian universities (like VTU, KTU). An 'O' grade is 10 points.
The 4.0 scale is the standard in the US and globally, where 'A' is 4.0 points. This tool handles both.
How can I plan my semester?
Use this GPA calculator to run "what-if" scenarios. See how an 'A' in a 4-credit course boosts your GPA more than a lab. This helps you focus on high-impact subjects for better results.
Is this data private and secure?
Absolutely. StudentCalcs runs 100% in your browser. Your course names and grades are never saved on our servers. Refreshing the page clears all data instantly.
What is CGPA vs. GPA?
GPA (or SGPA) is your score for one semester, calculated here.
CGPA (Cumulative GPA) is the average of all your semester GPAs combined.
Why Use This GPA Calculator?
Whether you are calculating marks for US College admissions or checking your semester score, accuracy matters. This tool is specifically designed as a GPA calculator for engineering students, supporting both variable credits (labs/theory) and dynamic grading scales.
VTU & Anna Univ
Students from Visvesvaraya Technological University often search for a dedicated VTU GPA Calculator. Our "10.0 Scale" mode aligns perfectly with the Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) used by VTU and Anna University.
KTU (Kerala)
If you are looking for a reliable KTU SGPA Calculator (APJ Abdul Kalam Technological University), this tool's credit-weighted logic ensures your Grade Points (9.0 for S, 8.5 for A+) are computed correctly.
How to Calculate GPA from Credits?
Understanding the math is crucial. To manually find your score, you must use the standard Cumulative grade point average formula:
Simply multiply the grade points of each subject by its credit value, sum them up, and divide by the total registered credits.
Common Grading Questions
What is a good GPA for Engineering?
Generally, a GPA above 8.0 (on a 10.0 scale) or 3.0 (on a 4.0 scale) is considered "Good" and makes you eligible for most campus placements. For top-tier Masters programs, aim for 9.0+. You can verify your standing with our calculator.
Does this tool work for global universities?
Yes. Since grading systems vary worldwide, we offer a "Dual Mode". According to Global Grading Standards, you can switch between the Indian 10-point scale and the US/Global 4-point scale instantly.
How to handle F grades in calculation?
If you fail a subject (F grade), the Grade Point is 0, but the Credits are still counted in the total denominator. This drastically drops your GPA. Use our College GPA calculator for engineering students to visualize this impact and plan your retakes.
