Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about CGPA calculation in Nigeria.

How do I calculate my CGPA on a 5.0 scale?
Multiply each course's credit units by the grade point (A = 5, B = 4, C = 3, D = 2, E = 1, F = 0) to get Quality Points (QP). Sum all QPs and divide by total credit units for your semester GPA. CGPA is total cumulative QPs ÷ total accumulated credit units.
What CGPA do I need for a First Class degree in Nigeria?
The NUC mandates a CGPA of 4.50 – 5.00 for First Class Honours. Second Class Upper (2:1) is 3.50 – 4.49. Second Class Lower (2:2) is 2.40 – 3.49. Third Class is 1.50 – 2.39, and Pass is 1.00 – 1.49.
What is the difference between GPA and CGPA?
GPA is your grade point average for a single semester. CGPA is your Cumulative Grade Point Average — the weighted running average across all semesters in your programme. Use our calculator to compute both instantly.
