About this listen
In this very first episode of The CGPA Guide, we dive into one of the most common yet confusing topics for students—CGPA. If you’ve ever wondered what CGPA really means, how it’s different from percentages, and why so many universities rely on it, this discussion is for you.
We start by breaking down the basics: CGPA, or Cumulative Grade Point Average, is designed to reflect your overall academic performance across multiple subjects and semesters. Unlike percentages that focus on exact marks, CGPA smooths out the highs and lows, giving a balanced picture of your studies.
But here’s the catch—different universities use different formulas to convert CGPA into percentages. That’s why students often struggle to figure out which calculation applies to them. In this episode, we highlight why there isn’t a single universal method and why checking your university’s official guidelines is so important.
Finally, we talk about whether CGPA actually matters when it comes to jobs, higher studies, or personal growth. You’ll learn how recruiters see CGPA, when it’s a filter for opportunities, and when your skills matter more than numbers.
