CGPA Calculator Bangladesh — 4.0 Scale for Universities & HSC/SSC
Most Bangladeshi universities and the HSC/SSC boards use a 4.0 (or 5.0) scale. Enter your GPA and credits to compute overall CGPA.
How this works
Bangladesh uses the 4.0 scale. Add each semester's GPA and credits above; we credit-weight them to produce your cumulative GPA and an approximate percentage using the local conversion rule.
Formula
CGPA = Σ(GPA × Credits) ÷ Σ(Credits). Approximate percentage: GPA × 20 + 20.
Example
(3.5×18) + (3.7×16) = 63.0 + 59.2 = 122.2. Total credits = 34. CGPA = 122.2 ÷ 34 ≈ 3.59.
Notes
- Public universities (DU, BUET, RU, CU) primarily follow the 4.0 scale.
- HSC and SSC exam boards publish GPA on a 5.0 scale where A+ = 5.0.
- BUET admissions expect very high HSC GPA — check the BUET admission calculator for eligibility.
Terminology
- SGPA
- Semester GPA — the same idea as GPA, using the semester-based terminology common in India / AICTE universities.
- CGPA
- Cumulative GPA — a credit-weighted average of every semester you've completed.
- GPA
- Grade Point Average for a single term, computed from letter grades and credit hours.
Grading policies differ by university, department, and academic year. Use your institution's official calculator or transcript office for anything that counts (transfer credit, scholarships, honors).
