9. Computation of Cumulative and Semester Grade Point Averages
The UGC recommends the following procedure to compute the Semester
Grade Point Average (SGPA) and Cumulative Grade Point Average
(CGPA).
a) Semester Grade Point Average: SGPA(Sk) of kth semester (1 to 4) is ratio of
sum of the product of the number of credits with the grade points scored by a
student in all the courses taken by a student and the sum of the total number
of credits of all the courses undergone/registered by a student, i.e
n
C G

Where Ci is the number of credits of the ith course/subject in a semester and
Gi is the grade point scored by the student in the ith course/subject and n is
the number of courses/subjects registered in that semester.
b) Cumulative Grade Point Average: The CGPA is calculated in the same
manner taking into account all the ,,m' courses/subjects registered by student
over all the semesters of a Programme i.e., in all 4 semesters
m
C iSi
i
CGPA 1
m
Ci
i1
Where Si is SGPA of ith sem and Ci is total number of credits in that semester.
c) SGPA and CGPA shall be rounded off to 2 decimal points and reported in
transcripts.
d) As per AICTE regulations, conversion of CGPA into equivalent percentage
as follows: Equivalent Percentage = (CGPA ? 0.75) x 10
e) Illustration of Computation of SGPA and CGPA
Illustration for SGPA: Let us assume there are 6 subjects in a semester.
The grades obtained as follows:
Course
