What Does SGPA Stand For?

SGPA stands for Semester Grade Point Average. It measures your academic performance for a single semester by calculating the weighted average of grade points earned in that semester's courses.

How is SGPA Calculated?

SGPA = Σ (Grade Point × Credits) / Σ Credits

The formula is identical to CGPA, but applied only to one semester's courses. Use our SGPA Calculator for instant computation.

SGPA Calculation Example

  • Database Systems (4 credits): A = 9 → 36
  • Operating Systems (4 credits): A+ = 10 → 40
  • Networks (3 credits): B+ = 8 → 24
  • Math-III (3 credits): A = 9 → 27
  • Lab (2 credits): A = 9 → 18

Total quality points: 145. Total credits: 16. SGPA = 145/16 = 9.06
