SGPA and CGPA Calculation Examples
Illustration for SGPA Calculation
| Course | Credit | Grade letter | Grade point | Credit Point (Credit × Grade) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Course 1 | 3 | A | 8 | 3 × 8 = 24 |
| Course 2 | 4 | B+ | 7 | 4 × 7 = 28 |
| Course 3 | 3 | B | 6 | 3 × 6 = 18 |
| Course 4 | 3 | O | 10 | 3 × 10 = 30 |
| Course 5 | 3 | C | 5 | 3 × 5 = 15 |
| Course 6 | 4 | B | 6 | 4 × 6 = 24 |
| TOTAL | 20 | 139 |
Thus, SGPA = 139/20 = 6.95
Illustration for CGPA Calculation
| Semester | Credit | SGPA |
|---|---|---|
| Semester 1 | 20 | 6.9 |
| Semester 2 | 20 | 7.8 |
| Semester 3 | 20 | 7.0 |
| Semester 4 | 20 | 8.4 |
| Semester 5 | 20 | 7.3 |
| Semester 6 | 20 | 8.6 |
CGPA Calculation:
CGPA = (20 × 6.9 + 20 × 7.8 + 20 × 7.0 + 20 × 8.4 + 20 × 7.3 + 20 × 8.6) / (20 + 20 + 20 + 20 + 20 + 20)
= (138 + 156 + 140 + 168 + 146 + 172) / 120
= 920 / 120
= 7.66
