Examples of SGPA and CGPA Calculation

Example of SGPA Calculation:

Suppose a student has obtained the following grades in a semester:

Subject Course Type Credits (Ci) Grade Grade Point (Gi) Ci × Gi
Subject 1 DSC 4 A+ 9 36
Subject 2 DSC 4 A 8 32
Subject 3 DSE 4 B+ 7 28
Subject 4 AECC 2 O 10 20
Subject 5 GE 2 A 8 16
Total 16 132

SGPA Calculation:

SGPA = Σ(Ci × Gi) / ΣCi
SGPA = 132 / 16
SGPA = 8.25

Example of CGPA Calculation:

Suppose a student has the following SGPAs and credits for four semesters:

Semester SGPA (Si) Total Credits (Ci) Si × Ci
Semester 1 7.25 20 145.00
Semester 2 8.50 22 187.00
Semester 3 7.80 24 187.20
Semester 4 8.75 20 175.00
Total 86 694.20

CGPA Calculation:

CGPA = Σ(Si × Ci) / ΣCi
CGPA = 694.20 / 86
CGPA = 8.07

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Choice Based Credit System (CBCS)?

The Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) is an internationally recognized education system that offers flexibility to students in choosing courses of their interest.

What is the difference between SGPA and CGPA?

SGPA (Semester Grade Point Average) is the weighted average of grade points obtained in all courses registered by a student in a particular semester. CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) is the weighted average of the SGPAs of all semesters completed by a student. CGPA gives a comprehensive view of a student's overall academic performance throughout the program.

  • For UG/PG/Diploma/Certificate programs: Grades range from O (Outstanding, 10 points) to F (Fail, 0 points) with mark ranges from 90-100% to below 40%.
  • For M.Pharm/B.Pharm programs: Similar structure but with slightly different mark ranges and grade designations.
  • For Pre-Ph.D Course work: Simplified grading with O (5.50-6.00), A (4.50-5.49), B (3.50-4.49), and F (0) grades.
