  2. Select Grade Points: Choose the letter grade or numeric points (e.g., 10 for 'O', 9 for 'A+') you received.
  3. Input Credits: Enter the credit hours assigned to each subject (e.g., 3, 4, or 2).
  4. Calculate: The tool uses the formula: ฮฃ(Grade Points ร— Credits) รท ฮฃ(Credits) to find your SGPA.

โ“ Frequently Asked Questions

Why do universities multiply CGPA by 9.5?

The 9.5 multiplier is the standard set by CBSE and AICTE to approximate percentage from a 10-point scale, accounting for the fact that scoring 100% is extremely rare in weighted grading.

What is a good CGPA for campus placements?

A CGPA of 6.5 or above is generally required by major IT firms like TCS and Infosys. For premium product-based companies or top-tier MNCs, a CGPA of 7.5 or 8.0+ is often requested.

Does this tool work for 4-point GPA (US Scale)?

Yes. You can switch the grading scale to "4-point" in the SGPA tab to calculate GPA for international university standards.
