What is SGPA?
SGPA stands for Semester Grade Point Average. It is a metric used by universities to measure a student's academic performance in a single semester. Unlike a simple average, SGPA is a weighted average where the "weight" of a grade is determined by the credit value of the course.
How to Calculate SGPA
The calculation follows a specific mathematical formula:
Formula: SGPA = Σ (Grade Points × Course Credits) / Σ (Total Credits)
- Multiply the grade point earned in each subject by the credits assigned to that subject.
- Sum all these weighted products (Total Quality Points).
- Divide the total quality points by the sum of all credits attempted during the semester.
Calculation Example
Suppose you took 3 subjects in a semester:
- Mathematics: 9 Grade Points, 4 Credits (9 × 4 = 36)
- Physics: 8 Grade Points, 3 Credits (8 × 3 = 24)
- English: 10 Grade Points, 2 Credits (10 × 2 = 20)
Total Quality Points: 36 + 24 + 20 = 80
Total Credits: 4 + 3 + 2 = 9
SGPA: 80 / 9 = 8.89
Difference Between SGPA and CGPA
While SGPA focuses solely on one semester, CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) accounts for the performance across all semesters completed so far. To find your CGPA, you typically average your SGPAs or calculate the weighted average of all credits earned throughout your entire degree program.
