What Are SGPA and CGPA?
SGPA (Semester Grade Point Average) measures your academic performance in a single semester, while CGPA (Cumulative GPA) represents the average across all semesters.
Indian universities typically calculate SGPA by multiplying credit hours with grade points, totaling it across subjects, and then dividing by total credits. CGPA is a weighted average of all SGPAs.
Importance of SGPA
Your SGPA is used to track progress, apply for scholarships, and evaluate eligibility for academic programs or internships.
Typical Grade to Grade‑Point Mapping
- O = 10
- A+ = 9
- A = 8
- B+ = 7
- B = 6
- C = 5, P = 4, F = 0
How to Calculate SGPA Step by Step
- List each subject with its credit hours and grade point.
- Multiply credit × grade point for each subject.
- Sum all credit × grade values.
- Divide by total credits to get SGPA.
Tips to Improve Your SGPA
- Attend classes regularly and participate.
- Start assignments early and seek help when needed.
- Practice previous question papers to understand marking patterns.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Using wrong grade‑point scales—always verify with your university.
- Incorrect rounding of SGPA scores; always round to two decimals.
- Overlooking differences in elective vs core subject weightings.
Example Case Studies
Student A: 6 subjects, total credits = 24, total credit‑grade = 190 → SGPA = 7.92
Student B: 5 subjects, total credits = 21, credit‑grade = 174 → SGPA ≈ 8.29
