What is an honours CGPA?
Honours CGPA is the Cumulative Grade Point Average for a four year honours degree. It turns every course grade into points, weights those points by credit and gives one number out of 4.00. Employers, scholarship boards and universities abroad use this number to judge your overall results.
The grading scale
This calculator uses the National University Bangladesh scale. 80 to 100 marks is A plus with 4.00 points. 75 to 79 is A with 3.75. 70 to 74 is A minus with 3.50. 65 to 69 is B plus with 3.25. 60 to 64 is B with 3.00. 55 to 59 is B minus with 2.75. 50 to 54 is C plus with 2.50. 45 to 49 is C with 2.25. 40 to 44 is D with 2.00. Anything below 40 is F with 0.00.
How the calculation works
For each course, multiply the grade point by the credit. Add those numbers for every course you have taken. Then divide the total by the total credits. A four credit course moves your CGPA twice as much as a two credit course, which is why high credit courses deserve the most attention.
A worked example
A student takes three courses in Year 1. A plus in a four credit course gives 16 points. A in a four credit course gives 15 points. B plus in a four credit course gives 13 points. In Year 2 the student gets A minus in four credits for 14 points, B in four credits for 12 points and A in three credits for 11.25 points. The total is 81.25 points over 23 credits. Divide 81.25 by 23 and the CGPA is 3.53. Year 1 alone gives 3.67 and Year 2 alone gives 3.39.
Plan your final years
Enter the courses you have finished, then use the target tool. Type the CGPA you want and the credits you still have. The tool shows the GPA you need in those remaining credits, and the letter grade that average is close to. If the target is out of reach, it tells you the best final CGPA you can still get.
Tips to raise your CGPA
Put extra study time into your highest credit courses first. Do not ignore a D or an F in a large course, because it drags the average down for the whole programme. If your university allows a retake or an improvement exam, run the numbers here before you decide. Early years matter because they set the base for every later calculation.
Frequently asked questions
How is honours CGPA calculated?
Multiply each course's grade point by its credit, add all the results, then divide by the total credits. Grade points run from 4.00 for A plus down to 2.00 for D, and 0.00 for F.
Is the final honours CGPA weighted by year?
This calculator weights by credits, so every credit counts equally across all four years. Some websites describe a formula that gives later years more weight. Your official result from the university is the final authority, so compare it with this tool.
What marks do I need for each grade?
80 and above is A plus. 75 to 79 is A. 70 to 74 is A minus. 65 to 69 is B plus. 60 to 64 is B. 55 to 59 is B minus. 50 to 54 is C plus. 45 to 49 is C. 40 to 44 is D. Below 40 is F.
Do failed courses count in my CGPA?
A failed course keeps its credits in the total with zero grade points, which lowers your CGPA until you retake it. Retake rules differ by institution, so check your department.
