Semester GPA
📚 Semester GPA Calculator
SGPA weights each subject's grade by its credit value, so a high-credit core subject affects your semester average more than a low-credit elective.
SGPA = Σ(Grade Points × Credits) ÷ Σ Credits
This is why a single low grade in a high-credit subject (like a 4-credit core course) pulls your SGPA down more than the same grade in a 1-credit lab or elective.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does credit weighting matter so much?
It reflects the relative importance universities assign to each subject — a core 4-credit subject is meant to count more toward your overall academic standing than a 1-credit add-on course.
Is SGPA the same as CGPA?
No — SGPA is for a single semester; CGPA is the cumulative average across all semesters completed so far, typically itself a credit-weighted average of your SGPAs.
What grade points does this assume?
It uses the common 10-point scale (O=10, A+=9, A=8, B+=7, B=6, C=5, F=0) used by most Indian universities — confirm your own institution uses the same scale.
