SGPA to CGPA
Calculator

Under the UGC & AICTE Choice Based Credit System (CBCS), CGPA is calculated using the credit-weighted formula: CGPA = Σ(SGPA × Semester Credits) / Σ(Semester Credits). Each semester's SGPA is multiplied by its registered credits to calculate Quality Points. The sum of all Quality Points is then divided by the total program credits across all completed semesters.

If every semester has the exact same credit weightage (e.g. 20 credits each semester), the credit weight cancels out mathematically. In this case, your CGPA is simply the arithmetic average of all semester SGPAs: CGPA = (SGPA₁ + SGPA₂ + ... + SGPAₙ) / Total Number of Semesters.

SGPA (Semester Grade Point Average) evaluates your academic performance exclusively within a single semester term (6 months). CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) measures your overall cumulative academic standing across all completed semesters from the start of your degree program up to the present semester.

To calculate a single semester's SGPA: Multiply the grade point earned in each subject (e.g., O=10, A+=9, A=8, B+=7, B=6, C=5, P=4, F=0) by that subject's course credits. Sum all course credit points and divide by the total registered credits for that semester: SGPA = Σ(Course Grade Points × Course Credits) / Σ(Semester Course Credits).

When you receive a failing grade (Grade F / 0 grade points), the course credits remain in the denominator while contributing 0 points to the numerator, which pulls down both your SGPA and overall CGPA. Once you appear for the supplementary exam and pass, your new passing grade points replace the 0 in the calculation, raising your cumulative CGPA.

For CBSE Class 10/12, Percentage = CGPA × 9.5. For UGC & AICTE CBCS technical universities, the standard formula is Percentage = (CGPA - 0.75) × 10. For direct 10-scale universities (such as Anna University or VTU 2022 Scheme), Percentage = CGPA × 10. For KTU Kerala, Percentage = 10 × CGPA - 3.75.

Under standard UGC standards: 9.0+ is Outstanding (Top tier / Dean's List), 8.0 to 8.9 is First Class with Distinction (preferred for top MNCs and Master's admissions abroad), 6.75 to 7.9 is First Class (standard campus placement eligibility), and 6.0 to 6.74 is Second Class. Most premier recruiting companies set a minimum cutoff of 6.50 to 7.00 CGPA.

Use our Target CGPA Planner tab. The formula is: Required Future SGPA = [(Target CGPA × Total Program Credits) - (Current CGPA × Completed Credits)] / Remaining Credits. If the resulting required SGPA is greater than 10.0, the target is mathematically impossible with the remaining credits.

Yes! If you performed significantly better in your recent semester than your past overall academic track record, that specific semester's SGPA will be higher than your cumulative CGPA, pulling your overall CGPA upwards.

SGPA is term-specific (one semester). CGPA is cumulative across technical, commerce, arts, and science degrees. OGPA (Overall Grade Point Average) is a 10-point scale metric used specifically in ICAR agricultural, veterinary, and horticulture universities with strict non-credit course exclusions.

For US university admissions and WES (World Education Services) evaluations, a 10-point Indian CGPA is scaled to a 4.0 GPA scale. Generally, a CGPA of 9.0–10.0 corresponds to 3.8–4.0 GPA, 8.0–8.9 corresponds to 3.4–3.7 GPA, and 7.0–7.9 corresponds to 3.0–3.3 GPA.

German universities use the Modified Bavarian Formula: German Grade = 1 + 3 × [(Nmax - Nd) / (Nmax - Nmin)], where Nmax is maximum possible grade (10.0), Nmin is minimum passing grade (4.0 or 5.0), and Nd is your obtained CGPA. In Germany, 1.0 is the best possible grade (Very Good) and 4.0 is the minimum pass.
