Understanding SGPA to CGPA Conversion
SGPA (Semester Grade Point Average) represents your performance in individual semesters, while CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) shows your overall academic performance across all completed semesters. Converting SGPA to CGPA is essential for tracking academic progress and meeting graduation requirements.
Calculation Methods
Credit Weighted Method
CGPA = Σ(SGPA × Credits) ÷ Σ(Credits)
Used when semesters have different credit hours. More accurate for most universities.
Simple Average Method
CGPA = (SGPA₁ + SGPA₂ + ... + SGPAₙ) ÷ n
Used when all semesters have equal credits. Simpler but less common.
Step-by-Step Calculation Example
Example: 4 Semester CGPA Calculation
| Semester | SGPA | Credits | SGPA × Credits |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1st | 8.5 | 20 | 170.0 |
| 2nd | 7.8 | 22 | 171.6 |
| 3rd | 8.2 | 24 | 196.8 |
| 4th | 9.1 | 20 | 182.0 |
| Total | - | 86 | 720.4 |
CGPA = 720.4 ÷ 86 = 8.38
