Overall CGPA Calculation
The overall CGPA is calculated by considering all courses from all semesters as a single pool:
Combine all courses from every semester
Calculate total grade points across all semesters
Calculate total credit hours across all semesters
Apply the same CGPA formula: Total Grade Points ÷ Total Credits
Important Note:
The overall CGPA is NOT the average of semester CGPAs. It's calculated using all individual course grades and credits.
