What is SGPA?

SGPA is a Semester Grade Point Average, basically an average of the student’s performance in a given semester. SGPA of different semesters is added up to either calculate GPA or CGPA.

The formula for SGPA to CGPA is different and so is the formula for SGPA to GPA. In this article, we will discuss only the SGPA to CGPA calculator.

Importance of SGPA 

• Academically SGPA is a mathematical formula to assess a student’s academic performance.
• SGPA helps students identify their strengths and areas where they lack based on their subject-wise performance in a semester.
• Based on the SGPA of the current and previous semesters, students can apply for admission to universities and colleges.

What is CGPA?

CGPA full form - Cumulative Grade Point Average, a combined average of the grade points received by a student. CGPA can be calculated semester-wise or for an annual result.

Difference between SGPA and CGPA

To understand SGPA to CGPA calculator better, here is a table showing the key differences between SGPA and CGPA:

SGPA	CGPA
SGPA is calculated for a semester based on the grades obtained.	CGPA is calculated based on grades for either a semester or a year.
SGPA reflects an applicant's academic performance based on a particular semester based on credits and grades.	CGPA is a holistic performance assessment of a student.
SGPA is assessed over a shorter period, hence only a little is covered.	Here the performance assessment is more comprehensive and covered over a longer period.
SGPA can have a direct effect on the CGPA.	Overall CGPA can further affect the GPA.
The academic awards offered at the end of semesters take SGPAs into account.	CGPA is usually important for university accounting admissions and scholarships based on previous academic performance.

How to Convert SGPA to CGPA?

Before understanding how to convert CGPA from SGPA, we need to understand how to calculate SGPA, the elements in SGPA, and then how to calculate CGPA from SGPA.

 
How to Calculate SGPA?

SGPA Calculation Formula: Grade Points Sum / Credit Points Sum
An example to calculate SGPA is as follows:

Subjects	Credit Points (CP)	Grade	Grade Points (GP)	Subject-wise Score  (CP x GP)
Digital Marketing	4	A (90-100%)	10	40
Human Resource	3	B+ (80-89%)	9	32
Research Methodology	3	B (70-79%)	8	29
MIS	2	A- (85-89%)	9	19
Operation Management	4	B (70-79%)	8	34
Total	16	-		154
	154 (Grade Points Sum) / 16 (Credit Points Sum) = 9.625 SGPA

When we calculate SGPA, there are three elements and they are as follows:

• Grade: Each subject is graded, like O or A or A+ or B-, etc. These are all grades assigned to students in a subject based on their scores.
• Grade Points: Based on scores in a subject, the grade is awarded and each grade has a numerical value assigned to it. So that is your grade point.
• Credits: Credits are the number of hours in a classroom plus the hours taken for homework.

Indian students going to study abroad and have got their UGC-approved grades or grade points can refer to this table below for conversions:

10 Point Grading System - UGC Approved
Percentage of Marks	Letter Grade as per UGC Guidelines	Grade Points
90-100%	O stands for Outstanding	10
80-90%	A+ stands for Excellent	9
70-80%	A stands for Very Good	8
60-70%	B+ stands for Good	7
50-60%	B stands for Average	6
40-50%	C stands for Pass	5
Below 40%	F stands for Fail	0
Absent	AB	0

Note: So, when you as an Indian student are calculating your SGPA, you would need this table for correct conversions. Rest, Indian institutions may have their way of calculating the SGPA. So when you are applying for admissions abroad, you can request your transcripts and ask them how they calculated your SGPA.

SGPA to CGPA Calculator

Once, you get the overall grade point average for all the semesters, CGPA can be calculated by taking the weighted average of the SGPAs of all semesters.

To convert SGPA to CGPA, you need to know the calculation formula. The formula to calculate CGPA from SGPA is as follows:

CGPA = (SGPA Sem 1 + SGPA Sem 2 + …… + SGPA Sem 6) / (Total Semesters)

Here's an example:

Suppose you have completed 4 semesters, and the SGPAs and credit hours are as follows:

Semester 1: SGPA = 4.2
Semester 2: SGPA = 4.6
Semester 3: SGPA = 4.5
Semester 4: SGPA = 4.9

To calculate the CGPA from SGPA, we substitute the values in the formula:

CGPA = (4.2 + 4.6 + 4.5 + 4.9) / (4)
CGPA = (18.2) / 4
CGPA = 4.55

Therefore, the CGPA based on the given SGPAs is 4.55

Students should ensure they use the correct values before calculating SGPA to CGPA. Calculating SGPA to CGPA is very simple, hence, you can easily calculate once you have your SGPA in hand.

Furthermore, SGPA to CGPA can be calculated in other grading systems also. SGPA to Percentage
