SGPA to CGPA
Combine multiple semester GPAs with their credit hours to compute your cumulative GPA.
How this works
Your CGPA is a credit-weighted average of your semester GPAs. Multiply each SGPA by its credit hours, add the products, then divide by the total credits. Semesters with more credits pull the CGPA harder toward their SGPA.
Formula
CGPA = Σ(SGPA × Credits) ÷ Σ(Credits)
Example
(3.6×18 + 3.8×16 + 3.5×17) ÷ (18+16+17) ≈ 3.63
Terminology
- SGPA
- Semester GPA — the same idea as GPA, using the semester-based terminology common in India / AICTE universities.
- CGPA
- Cumulative GPA — a credit-weighted average of every semester you've completed.
- GPA
- Grade Point Average for a single term, computed from letter grades and credit hours.
Grading policies differ by university, department, and academic year. Use your institution's official calculator or transcript office for anything that counts (transfer credit, scholarships, honors).
FAQ
What if my semesters have equal credits?
If every semester has the same credits, CGPA is simply the average of your SGPAs.
Do I include failed courses?
Yes — include the credit hours attempted and the grade point earned (usually 0 for F).
