How to Calculate SGPA — Step-by-Step Guide

Last Updated: February 2026

SGPA Formula

SGPA (Semester Grade Point Average) measures your performance in a single semester. Each course’s grade point is multiplied by its credit hours, then divided by total credits.

Step-by-Step Calculation

1. List courses with their credits and earned grade points
2. Multiply each grade point by credits → quality points
3. Sum all quality points
4. Divide by total credits

Example

• Algorithms (4 cr): A = 9 → 36
• DBMS (4 cr): A+ = 10 → 40
• Networks (3 cr): B+ = 8 → 24
• Math (3 cr): B = 7 → 21
• Lab (2 cr): A = 9 → 18

Quality Points = 139. Credits = 16. SGPA = 139/16 = 8.69

University Grading Scales

• Standard 10-point: O=10, A+=9, A=8, B+=7, B=6, C=5, D=4, F=0
• VTU: S=10, A=9, B=8, C=7, D=6, E=5, P=4, F=0
• KTU: S=10, A+=9, A=8.5, B+=8, B=7, C+=6, C=5, P=4
