SGPA Calculator – Calculate Your Semester Grade Point Average Easily
If you've just received your semester results and you're staring at a list of grades wondering, “What's my SGPA?” you're not alone. For most students in technical and academic institutions, calculating SGPA manually is one more post-exam headache they didn't sign up for.
That's exactly why tools like the SGPA Calculator exist. Whether you're a student from KTU, VTU, or any other university that uses a credit-based grading system, this tool helps you calculate your Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) quickly, accurately, and without a spreadsheet meltdown.
What is SGPA?
SGPA stands for Semester Grade Point Average. It's a numerical value that represents a student's academic performance in a semester based on the credits assigned to each subject and the grade points earned. Each subject has a credit value (based on contact hours or importance) and a grade point (based on performance, usually on a 10-point scale). The SGPA combines all these into a weighted average.
SGPA Formula – How It Works
The formula used by most universities is:
SGPA = ÎŁ (Credit Ă— Grade Point) Ă· ÎŁ (Total Credits)
Where Grade Point is the numeric value assigned for a letter grade (for example A+ = 10, A = 9, B+ = 8). Credits are the credit weight of each subject. This ensures subjects with higher credit values affect the SGPA more than lower-credit subjects.
How to Calculate SGPA – Step-by-Step
Manually:
- List each subject and its credit value.
- Record the grade point for each subject (per your university scale).
- Multiply each subject's Credit Ă— Grade Point.
- Add those values to get total credit points.
- Divide by the total number of credits to get SGPA.
Example Calculation (Worked Example)
Example subjects and values:
| Subject | Credits | Grade Point | Credit Ă— Grade Point |
|---|---|---|---|
| Math | 4 | 9 | 36 |
| Physics | 3 | 8 | 24 |
| Chemistry | 3 | 10 | 30 |
| English | 2 | 7 | 14 |
| Computer Science | 4 | 9 | 36 |
| Total | 16 | - | 140 |
SGPA = 140 Ă· 16 = 8.75
Who Should Use This Calculator?
- 12th-pass students and undergraduates tracking semester performance.
- Students under KTU, VTU, JNTU, Anna University, AKTU and other Indian universities using the 10-point credit system.
- Students recalculating SGPA after revaluation or improvements.

| Example | Credits | Grade Points | Total Credits | Computed SGPA |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Example A | 4,3,3,2,4 | 9,8,10,7,9 | 16 | 8.75 |
| Example B | 4,4,3,3 | 10,9,8,8 | 14 | 8.93 |
| Example C | 3,3,3,3,2 | 8,7,8,9,7 | 14 | 7.86 |
Common Names & Synonyms
- SGPA (Semester Grade Point Average)
- Term GPA
- Credit-weighted GPA
Accuracy Tips & Edge Cases
- Zero-credit subjects: Exclude from SGPA calculations as they don't affect totals.
- Missing or pending grades: Recalculate once official grades are published.
- Failed subjects: Some universities treat failed subjects with zero grade points — confirm policy.
- Rounding: Institutions often round SGPA to two decimals — follow your university rules.
FAQs
What is SGPA?
SGPA is the Semester Grade Point Average: a weighted average of grade points using subject credits for the semester.
How to calculate SGPA from marks?
Convert marks to grade points per your university's scale, then apply SGPA = ÎŁ(CreditĂ—GradePoint) Ă· ÎŁ(Credits).
Is this SGPA calculator for KTU students?
Yes. It works for KTU-style credit systems and other universities following the 10-point grading scale.
Can I convert SGPA to percentage here?
This tool focuses on SGPA. SGPA-to-percentage formulas vary — commonly SGPA×9.5 is used, but confirm with your university.
