Calculate your SGPA for a semester from each subject’s credits and grade, then your CGPA across semesters. The calculator uses the 10-point grading scale used by most Indian universities under the UGC choice-based credit system (CBCS), and shows the working so you can check it against your mark sheet.
How to calculate SGPA
- Choose SGPA for one semester.
- For each subject, enter its credits (printed on the mark sheet or in the syllabus) and pick the grade you got.
- Read your SGPA. Add rows for labs and electives, which carry credits too.
SGPA = Σ (credits × grade points) ÷ Σ credits
Example: Maths (4 credits, A+ = 9), Physics (3 credits, A = 8), Lab (2 credits, O = 10). Credit points = 36 + 24 + 20 = 80. Total credits = 9. SGPA = 80 ÷ 9 = 8.89.
How to calculate CGPA
Switch to CGPA from semester SGPAs and enter each semester’s SGPA and total credits.
CGPA = Σ (SGPA × semester credits) ÷ Σ semester credits
If every semester has the same credits, this is just the average of the SGPAs, and the calculator uses a simple average when you leave credits blank. When credits differ, the weighted figure is the one your university prints, so add them for an exact result.
10-point grade scale (UGC CBCS)
| Grade | Meaning | Grade points |
|---|---|---|
| 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 |
The letters and points come from the UGC CBCS guidelines. The marks for each grade differ between universities (some use relative grading), so use the grade printed on your result rather than converting marks yourself.
SGPA vs CGPA
| SGPA | CGPA | |
|---|---|---|
| Covers | One semester | All semesters so far |
| Calculated from | Subject credits and grade points | Semester SGPAs and credits |
| Used for | Tracking one term | Placements, higher studies, the final degree |
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert my CGPA to a percentage?
Each university has its own rule, for example CGPA × 9.5 (CBSE and many universities) or (CGPA − 0.75) × 10 (AICTE and VTU). The CGPA to percentage converter covers the common formulas.
Are failed subjects included in SGPA?
An F carries 0 grade points. Most universities count the credits but show the SGPA only after the backlog is cleared, and replace the F with the new grade once you pass. Check your university’s ordinance.
What is a good CGPA?
Many companies set a cut-off of 6.0 to 7.0 CGPA for placements, and 7.5 or above is considered strong. Top programmes and scholarships often look for 8.5 or more.
Can I use this for a 4-point GPA?
No, this is for the 10-point Indian scale. For a US-style 4.0 GPA, use the GPA calculator.
