Converting your SGPA (Semester Grade Point Average) to CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) is easy! Here’s a simple step-by-step process:
Formula:
To convert SGPA to CGPA, you need to calculate the weighted average of your SGPA scores over multiple semesters, based on the number of credits for each semester.
Steps to Convert SGPA to CGPA:
List Your SGPA and Credits: Write down your SGPA for each semester and the number of credits you earned in each semester.
Multiply SGPA by Credits: For each semester, multiply the SGPA by the number of credits assigned to that semester. This will give you the weighted score for each semester.
Add Up the Weighted Scores: Add together all the weighted scores you calculated in Step 2. This is the total weighted score for all the semesters you’re considering.
Add Up All the Credits: Add together all the credits from each semester. This gives you the total number of credits you’ve completed.
Divide the Total Weighted Score by Total Credits: Finally, divide the total weighted score (from Step 3) by the total number of credits (from Step 4). This will give you your CGPA.
Example:
Let’s break it down with an example:
Semester 1: SGPA = 8.0, Credits = 20
Semester 2: SGPA = 7.5, Credits = 18
Semester 3: SGPA = 8.2, Credits = 22
Step 1: Multiply SGPA by Credits for each semester:
For Semester 1, multiply SGPA (8.0) by Credits (20):
8.0 * 20 = 160
For Semester 2, multiply SGPA (7.5) by Credits (18):
7.5 * 18 = 135
For Semester 3, multiply SGPA (8.2) by Credits (22):
8.2 * 22 = 180.4
Step 2: Add the weighted scores:
160 + 135 + 180.4 = 475.4
Step 3: Add up the total credits:
20 + 18 + 22 = 60
Step 4: Divide the total weighted score by the total credits:
475.4 ÷ 60 = 7.92
Result:
Your CGPA is 7.92.
Things to Keep in Mind:
CGPA is usually calculated on a scale of 10.
The more credits a semester has, the more it impacts your CGPA. A semester with more credits is given more weight.
Always check your university’s grading scale, as some institutions may have different grading policies.
This simple process helps you easily convert your SGPA to CGPA and keep track of your academic performance across multiple semesters!
