Definition
Sessional Grade Point Average or Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) is a way of summarizing a student’s performance in a semester, calculated by considering the weighted average of grade points in all the courses taken during that semester.
| SGPA = Points secured in the semester/Credits secured in the semester |
Elements of SGPA
- Semester: These are chapters in your academic book, each spanning six months for a deep dive into the course material.
- Grade Point:These points represent the performance of students in a specific subject learned during the course. These points are directly proportional to the knowledge of the students in that particular subject.
- Credit Points: It measures the time and effort you’ve dedicated to mastering each subject. It’s like a report card for your commitment and understanding.
Calculation of SGPA
Candidates who have grade points in all the subjects can easily take out the SGPA by following the below-mentioned steps:
- List down the credit points for each subject.
- Multiply the credit points by the grade obtained in each subject.
- Add up all the outcomes from the multiplication.
- Divide the total by the sum of the credit points for all subjects.
- The result is your SGPA, reflecting your performance for the semester.
Example
| Subject | Credit Point | Grade |
| Subject A | 4 | 9 |
| Subject B | 2 | 8 |
| Subject C | 3 | 8 |
| Subject D | 2 | 7 |
Start the process by multiplying credit points with their scores:
4 X 9 = 36, 2 X 8 = 16, 3 X 8 = 24, 2 X 7 = 14
After that, you will have to add all the outcomes of the first step
36 + 16 +24 + 14 = 90
After that, add all the credit points
4 + 2 + 3 + 2 = 11
Finally, divide 90 by the total credit points
90/11 = 8.18
So, 8.18 is the SGPA
Conversion / Calculation of SGPA To Percentage
| Percentage = (SGPA – 0.75) X 10 |
Step Wise Procedure for which you will be able to take out the percentage easily:
- Calculate the SGPA for each subject.
- Subtract 0.75 from each SGPA.
- Multiply the result by 10.
- The outcome is your percentage.
Example
Let’s assume, the SGPA of the student is 8.3
So, we will subtract 0.75 from SGPA
8.3 – 0.75 = 7.55
Multiply the outcome by 10
7.55 X 10
So, the percentage is 75.5%

Grade Point to Percentage Conversion Table
| Marks(%) | Letter Grades | Grade Points(G) |
| – | AB (Absent) | 0 |
| 0 to < 36 | F (Fail) | 0 |
| 36 to < 40 | D (Pass) | 4 |
| 40 to < 50 | C (Average) | 5 |
| 50 to < 60 | B (Above Average) | 6 |
| 60 to < 70 | B+ (Good) | 7 |
Conversion of SGPA to CGPA
- First, it is compulsory to calculate the SGPA for all the semesters.
- When you get SGPA of all the semesters, add them.
- Divide the summation of the SGPAs by the number of semesters you have given.
- The number you see will be your CGPA.
Example
How to find the SGPA and CGPA of a student for the following three semesters,
First semester = 6.0
Second semester = 7.5
Third semester = 6.8
Student’s SGPA and CGPA is calculated as follows:
SGPA = 6.0+7.5+6.8 = 20.3
= 20.3/3
=6.7
Your CGPA is 6.7
Conversion of SGPA to CGPA to Percentage
How to calculate the CGPA to percentage of a student for the following four semesters,
First semester = 7.0
Second semester = 7.2
Third semester = 6.8
Fourth semester = 7.8
SGPA = 7.0+7.2+6.8+7.8
=28.8
CGPA = 28.8/4
= 7.2
And then to convert the CGPA to the percentage, simply multiply the calculated CGPA with 9.5
CGPA to percentage = 7.2*9.5 = 68.4%
CGPA, SGPA to Percentage Conversion Chart
| SGPA | CGPA | Percentage |
| 6.8, 7.0 | 6.8+7.0 = 13.8/2 = 6.9 | 6.9*9.5 = 65.55% |
| 7.2, 7.4, 7.8 | 7.2+7.4+7.8 = 22.4/3 = 7.46 | 7.46*9.5 = 70.87% |
| 5.5, 7.2 | 5.5+7.2 = 12.7/2 = 6.35 | 6.35*9.5 = 60.325% |
| 8.5, 8.8, 9.2, 9.0 | 8.5+8.8+9.2+9.0 = 35.5/4 = 8.875 | 8.875*9.5 = 84.3125% |
