MIT GPA Calculator (5.0 Scale)
Compute MIT GPA on the internal 5.0 grading scale used at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Grading table
| Grade | Range (%) | Points |
|---|---|---|
| A | 90-100 | 5.0 |
| B | 80-89 | 4.0 |
| C | 70-79 | 3.0 |
| D | 60-69 | 2.0 |
| F | 0-59 | 0.0 |
How this works
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) publishes CGPA on the 4.0 scale. This tool applies that formula to each semester's grade point average, weights by credit hours, and averages across every semester you add.
Formula
GPA = sum(Grade x Units) / sum(Units). Divide by 5 and multiply by 4 for a 4.0-scale estimate.
Example
12 units of A (5.0) + 12 units of B (4.0) gives GPA = 4.5, or 3.60 on the 4.0 scale.
Notes
- MIT reports GPA on a 5.0 scale internally but often converts to 4.0 for external transcripts.
- Units at MIT correspond to hours of work per week, not credit hours in the US sense.
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).
FAQ
Is this MIT calculator official?
No. It uses commonly published grading tables. Individual departments may weight or round differently. Always confirm with your official transcript.
How is CGPA calculated at MIT?
Multiply each course's grade points by its credit hours to get quality points, sum across all courses, then divide by total credit hours: CGPA = sum(GP x Cr) / sum(Cr).
