What is the SGPA Calculator?
SGPA (Semester Grade Point Average) is the weighted average of all grades earned in a single semester, where each course is weighted by its credit value. It ranges from 0.0 to 4.0 (or 10.0 on some Indian university scales) and appears on your official transcript. SGPA is distinct from CGPA, which averages all semesters together.
How it works
The calculator multiplies each course's grade points by its credit hours, sums those products, then divides by the total credits. For example, an A in a 4-credit course contributes more to your SGPA than a B in a 2-credit course. The tool automates this calculation so you see your semester average instantly without manual arithmetic.
Grade Points are the numerical values assigned to letter grades (A=4.0, B=3.0, C=2.0, D=1.0 in the 4.0 scale); Credit Hours are the weightings assigned to each course (usually 1–4 hours per course). The sum of all (Grade × Credit) products is divided by total credits to get the average.

Notes
Course 1: A (4.0 pts) × 4 credits; Course 2: B (3.0 pts) × 3 credits; Course 3: C (2.0 pts) × 2 credits
SGPA = 3.56
Weighted by credit hours; the 4-credit A pulls the average up more than the smaller courses
Three courses: B+ (3.3), B (3.0), B (3.0), all 3 credits each
SGPA = 3.1
Equal credits, so straight average of the three grades
Course 1: A (10 pts) × 4 credits; Course 2: B (8 pts) × 3 credits (on 10-point scale used in India)
SGPA = 9.14 (on 10.0 scale)
Indian universities often use a 10-point scale instead of 4.0

Tips & common mistakes
Common mistakes
Confusing SGPA with CGPA: SGPA is one semester only, CGPA averages all semesters (use CGPA for cumulative performance)
Forgetting to include failed or withdrawn courses, which may count as 0.0 and lower your average
Using the wrong grading scale (e.g., entering a 10-point scale grade into a 4.0 calculator) and getting nonsense results
Not weighting by credit hours, treating a 4-credit course the same as a 1-credit course
Tips
Check your university's official grading scale chart before inputting grades—some schools have +/− modifiers (A− = 3.7) that affect points
If you took a course Pass/Fail, it usually doesn't factor into SGPA; exclude it from the calculator
Keep a semester-by-semester SGPA record to track trends and spot semesters where you may want to retake courses
Use the calculator mid-semester with estimated final grades to plan how well you need to perform in remaining exams
Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between SGPA and CGPA?
SGPA is your semester average; CGPA (Cumulative GPA) averages all your semesters over your entire degree. Use this tool for SGPA; use a CGPA calculator to combine all semesters.
Do I include dropped or failed courses in my SGPA?
Dropped courses usually don't appear on your transcript, so exclude them. Failed courses (F, 0.0 points) must be included because they lower your GPA; some schools let you retake and replace the grade.
Can I use this calculator if my school uses a 10-point scale (common in India)?
Yes, select the 10-point scale option. The formula is identical; only the grade-point range changes (0–10 instead of 0–4).
My transcript shows A−, A, A+ (with plus/minus modifiers). How do I enter those?
Check your university's official grade scale. A− might be 3.7, A might be 4.0, A+ might be 4.0 or higher. Enter the exact point value your institution assigns.
I got a C in a 4-credit course. Will that ruin my GPA?
A C (2.0 points) in a 4-credit course will lower your average, but the impact depends on your other grades. Use the calculator to see your actual SGPA and decide if retaking makes sense.
Is my SGPA private? Do you store my grades?
Your data never leaves your device. This calculator is client-side only—we don't store, log, or see your grades. Each calculation is private.
