In plain English

This is a small Python program that calculates a student's CGPA from subject grades and credit hours. CGPA stands for Cumulative Grade Point Average, a grading measure used by many universities where each course carries a certain number of credits and a grade point value, and the final average is weighted by those credits rather than treating all courses equally. A course worth four credits contributes more to the CGPA than a course worth two credits. The program takes a student's name, register number, and a list of subjects with their respective credit hours and grade points. It computes the weighted average and produces a PDF report. The sample report shown in the README lists each subject in a table with its credits and grade point, shows the total credits at the bottom, and displays the resulting CGPA. In the example, a student with three subjects in mathematics, physics, and programming, carrying a total of eleven credits, ends up with a CGPA of 9.09. The README is brief and does not describe the input method, whether the program uses a command line, a file, or a graphical form. It also does not list any external libraries. The project is a simple student utility for a common academic calculation, and the README makes clear it was written by a student named Maheshwari as a personal project.
