A+ and A carry the same 4.00, so an A+ raises the transcript wording, not the average. The grading page notes no fixed percentage band per letter; for most courses semester work contributes 50% of the final grade and the final examination the other 50%.
The SGPA formula
SGPA = Σ(grade points × credits) ÷ Σ(credits), which is the weighted average the grading page describes.
Worked example
| Course | Credits | Grade | Points | Credits × points |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Course 1 | 3 | A | 4.00 | 12.00 |
| Course 2 | 3 | A− | 3.67 | 11.01 |
| Course 3 | 3 | B+ | 3.33 | 9.99 |
| Course 4 | 1 | B | 3.00 | 3.00 |
Total credits = 10, total points = 36.00, so SGPA = 36.00 ÷ 10 = 3.60.
Repeats, warnings and the I grade
- A repeated course replaces the earlier grade points, even when the new grade is lower.
- Students under warning must repeat passed courses whose grade points are below the minimum CGPA for their programme.
- An I grade turns into an F automatically before the end of the next semester.
- A W stays visible on the transcript but does not enter the average.
How to use this calculator
- Add one row per course and enter its credits.
- Pick the letter grade from your result.
- For a repeated course, enter only the most recent grade.
- Read the SGPA, or enter every semester together for the CGPA.
