MASTERY CGPA CALCULATION AT EASE OF 5.00 GRADING SYSTEM. 

Education is fun, especially when you are topping in the University, have you
imagine how the Grade is been calculated, you do hear the nice testimony of a
graduate around you who finished with a first class, second class upper or
lower division, but you do wonder what these means, it’s nothing but the
position of result for excellent performance.

In the high institution either the University or polytechnic, there is grading
system with the maximum point of 5.0, if a student is able to complete all
his/her semesters examinations through out the year of studies, they will have
their results with position in points, ranging from 0.0 – 5.0 which is
consider as the Cumulative Grades Points Average(GPA) with classification
according to what points achieved. Let review how the grading system work.

List Of Grades According To Points

Points	Remarks
5	A (Excellent)
4	B (Very Good)
3	C (Credit)
2	D (Good)
1	E (Pass)
0	F (Fail)

List of Grades According To Scores

Scores	Remarks
70-100	A
60-69	B
50-59	C
45-49	D
40-44	E
0-39	F

List of Grades According to Rank/Position

Points	Position
4.50-5.00	First Class
3.50-4.49	2nd Class Upper
2.40-3.49	2nd Class Lower
1.50-2.39	3rd Class
1.0-1.49	Pass

What Is CGPA & GPA?

CGPA: Cumulative Grade Point Average. (This is what you have after both
1st and 2nd semester. In summation and Division, amounting to it)

GPA: Grade Point Average ( This is what you have after every
semester).

You should also know the following acronyms in the grading system:

C.U: Credit Units

TCU: Total Credit Unit 

G.P: Grade Point 

TGP or TQP: Total Grade Point or Quality Point.

How To Calculate GPA

Thus, the derivation is as follows:

GPA: This is derived by dividing the Total Grade/Quality point
(TQP/TGP) by the Total Credit unit (TCU) for that semester.

For example:

If in a semester, a student earned 90 quality points for 21 credit units, the
GPA will be;  

 GPA = TGP÷TCU
           90÷21 =
4.28

How To Calculate CGPA

CGPA is derived by adding the Total Quality Points (TQP) for all the
semesters to date and dividing by the Total Credit Units to date for all
semester that’s 1st & 2nd.

For example:

If in a semester a student earns a QP of 90 for 21 CU in the first semester
and earns a QP of 87 for 20 CU in the second semester, His/Her CGPA will
be; 

CGPA = TQP÷TCU 

           = (90+87) ÷ (21+20)

           =  177 ÷ 41
   
       = 4.31
Therefore, Your CGPA for that session will be, 

CGPA = 4.31

Breaking it Down:

---

Let’s Consider a 1st Semester Result as shown in the table below;

S/n	Units x  Grade	G.P
1	3 × (A) 5	15
2	2 × (B) 4	8
3	2 × (A) 5	10
4	3 × (A) 5	15
5	3 × (C) 3	9
6	3 × (D) 2	6
7	2 × (E) 1	2
TCU	TGP
18	65

Therefore,

GPA = TGP/TCU

          = 65/18
       
    = 3.61

Let us now consider 2nd Semester Result.

But let’s assume our  TCU & TGP to be 20  and 93
respectively. 

GPA for second semester 
GPA = TGP/TCU

             93/20

            = 4.65

You’ll add first semester and semester together to get CGPA. AS As shown
below;

Mathematically;

CGPA = TGP+TGP(1st & 2nd semester) / TCU+TCU(1st & 2nd Semester)

   CGPA = 65+94/ 18+20

          = 159 / 38

          = 4.184210

Thus: Your main is
CGPA = 4.18

that’s Second Class Lower division.You can make 4.50 and above, only if you
believe in yourself and your capacity. I wish you success in your academic
work.
