How to Calculate Your IGNOU CGPA
Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) reports results on a grade-card system with letter grades A (Excellent), B (Very Good), C (Good), D (Satisfactory), and E (Unsatisfactory, not passed). Many programs also report an overall percentage and division. This calculator estimates a 10-point credit-weighted average from your course grades; confirm the official division and grade-point values for your program on the IGNOU grade card.
The calculator above uses the 10-point CGPA that Indira Gandhi National Open University reports. Enter each course with its credits and grade; the CGPA is the credit-weighted average, computed as the sum of (grade points times credits) divided by total credits. The tool also shows a 4.0-scale equivalent for US graduate applications and a percentage via the formula toggle. For the full multi-scale tool, see the India GPA calculator hub.
Indira Gandhi National Open University Grading and Standing
IGNOU awards a Division based on the final percentage or grade-point average: typically First Division at 60 percent and above, Second Division at 48 to 59, and so on, with the exact bands set per program. Distance-education assignments and term-end exams are both weighted into the final grade. Confirm the classification rules for your program with the IGNOU Student Evaluation Division.
What makes IGNOU distinctive: IGNOU is an open and distance-learning university, so each course grade combines assignment and term-end-examination components before it reaches your grade card. Enter the final per-course grade, not the assignment-only mark, into the calculator above.

Converting Your IGNOU CGPA to Percentage and US GPA
Indian CGPA converts to a percentage using an institution-specific multiplier: the CBSE-style CGPA times 9.5, the Anna University (CGPA - 0.5) times 10, or a program-specific factor. Pick the right one in the percentage-formula toggle above. For a US 4.0-scale figure, the calculator shows an equivalent automatically; the GPA converter and the GPA scale reference cover the conversion in more detail. Other Indian institutions appear on the India GPA calculator and the GPA by country directory.
