How the GPA is worked
- Each course grade point is multiplied by the credit hours of that course.
- Those products are added together and divided by the total credit hours, which makes the answer a weighted average rather than a plain one.
- That distinction is the whole point: a one-credit laboratory cannot outweigh a three-credit course, however good the grade in it looks.

Where this tool stops
- It takes numeric grade points, not letters. Pakistani universities publish different scales, including some that run to five points, so no letter-to-point conversion is assumed here.
- It does not follow your transcript's rounding rule; the result is shown to two decimal places.
- It applies no retake, replacement or best-of-attempt policy, and those change a real GPA more than any formula does.
Questions people ask about this figure
Why is the answer not the simple average?
Because credit hours carry the weight. An A in a one-credit lab alongside a B in a three-credit course gives 3.25, not the 3.5 a plain average would report.
Can I get my CGPA from this?
Yes, and it is the same arithmetic: multiply each term GPA by that term's credit hours, add them, and divide by all credit hours. Listing every course in one set here does that work for you.
What does a zero-credit course do?
Nothing at all. It adds neither points nor credits, so it cannot pull the average down or lift it up.
