Master Your Semester Grades
The SGPA (Semester Grade Point Average) is the primary metric used by universities globally to evaluate your academic performance in a single semester. Unlike a simple average, SGPA is a weighted average—meaning subjects with higher credits (like Core Engineering or Mathematics) have a much larger impact on your final score than lower-credit subjects (like Labs or Electives).
Standard Grading Scale (10-Point)
| Letter Grade | Description | Grade Point |
|---|---|---|
| O | Outstanding | 10 |
| A+ | Excellent | 9 |
| A | Very Good | 8 |
| B+ | Good | 7 |
| B | Above Average | 6 |
| C | Average | 5 |
| P | Pass | 4 |
| F | Fail | 0 |

Frequently Asked Questions
What is SGPA and how is it calculated?
SGPA (Semester Grade Point Average) is the weighted average of grade points secured in all subjects during a semester. The formula is: SGPA = ∑(Credit × Grade Point) / ∑(Total Credits). It reflects your academic performance for that specific semester.
How do I convert SGPA to Percentage?
The most common conversion formula, used by many universities (like VTU, JNTU, Anna University), is: Percentage = (SGPA - 0.75) × 10. However, a simpler estimation often used is SGPA × 10. Always check your university specific guidelines.
What is the difference between SGPA and CGPA?
SGPA is calculated for a single semester, while CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) is the average of all SGPAs obtained in all semesters completed so far. CGPA gives the overall academic standing of a student.
How do credits affect my SGPA?
Credits represent the weight or importance of a subject. A subject with 4 credits has double the impact on your SGPA compared to a 2-credit subject (like a lab). Scoring high in high-credit subjects is the key to a high SGPA.
What does an "O" grade mean?
Under the CBCS (Choice Based Credit System), "O" stands for Outstanding and usually carries 10 grade points. It is the highest grade typically awarded for scores between 90-100%.
Can I calculate SGPA without credits?
Strictly speaking, no. SGPA is a weighted average. If you ignore credits, you are just calculating a simple average of marks, which is not your official SGPA. Most universities assign credits to every course.
