SGPA Calculator

Understanding SGPA

Easily calculate your Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) based on your course credits and grades. This tool is designed for university students to track their academic performance for a specific semester using a standard 10-point grading scale.

Key Factors Explained

• Credits: Each course has a credit value that represents its weight or importance in your overall curriculum. A course with more credits has a greater impact on your SGPA.
• Grade Points: Most universities use a letter grade system (S, A, B, etc.) where each letter corresponds to a numerical grade point. An 'S' grade is typically worth 10 points, an 'A' is worth 9, and so on.

The Formula

Your SGPA is a weighted average. It's calculated by multiplying the credits of each course by the grade point you achieved, summing these values, and then dividing by the total number of credits you took in the semester.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the difference between SGPA and CGPA?

SGPA (Semester Grade Point Average) measures your performance in a single semester. CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) is the average of all your SGPA scores from all previous semesters, providing an overall measure of your academic performance throughout your degree.

What is a good SGPA?

A "good" SGPA is subjective, but generally, an SGPA of 8.0 or above is considered strong and often meets the criteria for academic honors, scholarships, and many job placements. An SGPA of 9.0 or above is typically considered excellent.

How does a fail grade (F or N) affect my SGPA?

A fail grade is assigned 0 grade points. This can significantly lower your SGPA because while it adds 0 to the weighted score calculation, the credits for the failed course are still included in the total credit denominator. This makes it a powerful drag on your average.
