📊 Required GPA
This tool calculates the minimum GPA you need in the next semester to reach your target CGPA. It answers the single most practical question in semester planning: given where you stand today, how well does the upcoming term have to go?
It differs from the Target CGPA Planner in scope — the planner spreads your goal across all remaining semesters and credits, while this calculator focuses on one upcoming semester only. Use it at the start of each term to set a clear, credit-weighted grade target, and re-run it once results are in to stay on track.
