S and U mark non-credit courses. They stay out of SGPA and CGPA.
UGC gives no rounding rule. Results here are rounded to 2 decimals, as UGC prints its worked examples.
The CGPA here uses each semester's exact credit points. Worked from SGPAs rounded to 2 decimals, it can differ in the last decimal.

How to use this SGPA and CGPA calculator
- Pick your Rule set: the UGC 10-point scale, or the VTU 2022 scheme for BE and BTech batches admitted from 2022-23.
- Enter each course's credits and grade. Your SGPA shows as you type.
- Under the VTU 2022 scheme, press Marks (CIE and SEE) to enter marks instead of grades. Each row then shows its total and grade.
- For your CGPA, press Add semester. To use the SGPA printed on a marks card, press Enter SGPA instead and type the SGPA and credits.

How to calculate SGPA
Multiply each course's credits by its grade point to get its credit points. Add up the credit points, then divide by the semester's credits.
SGPA = Σ(credits × grade point) ÷ Σ credits
The grade points come from UGC's guidelines for the Choice Based Credit System, and VTU's 2022 scheme uses the same ones. UGC leaves marks bands to each university, so the marks column is VTU's (clause 22OB 6.1):
| Marks out of 100 (VTU 2022) | Grade | Grade point |
|---|---|---|
| 90 to 100 | O | 10 |
| 80 to 89 | A+ | 9 |
| 70 to 79 | A | 8 |
| 60 to 69 | B+ | 7 |
| 55 to 59 | B | 6 |
| 50 to 54 | C | 5 |
| 40 to 49 | P | 4 |
| 0 to 39 | F | 0 |
| Absent from the SEE | Ab | 0 |
Made-up example, one semester of four courses:
| Grade | Grade point | Credits | Credit points |
|---|---|---|---|
| A+ | 9 | 4 | 36 |
| A | 8 | 3 | 24 |
| B+ | 7 | 3 | 21 |
| O | 10 | 1 | 10 |
| Total | 11 | 91 | |
91 ÷ 11 = 8.27.
UGC's own worked example comes to 138 credit points over 20 credits, an SGPA of 6.9. UGC states no rounding rule and prints its results to 2 decimals, so the calculator shows 2 decimals, and the exact value under Before rounding when the two differ.
S and U, UGC's grades for non-credit courses, stay out of SGPA and CGPA. A course you mark S or U is not counted. Every table, with its source and status, is on the 10-point grading scale page.
How to calculate CGPA from SGPA
The CGPA weights each semester's SGPA by its credits. It is not the plain average of your SGPAs.
CGPA = Σ(semester credits × SGPA) ÷ Σ credits
Made-up example: 20 credits at an SGPA of 7.50, then 22 credits at 8.10. (150 + 178.2) ÷ 42 = 7.81. The plain average, 7.80, gives the smaller semester too much weight.
VTU rounds SGPA and CGPA to 2 decimals (22OB 6.6). UGC gives no rounding rule.
VTU 2022 scheme: from CIE and SEE marks to a grade
VTU's 2022 regulations cover BE and BTech batches admitted from 2022-23. Each course has a CIE (Continuous Internal Evaluation) out of 50 and an SEE (Semester End Examination) out of 50. You write the SEE out of 100, and VTU scales it to 50.
Total = CIE + SEE ÷ 2
To pass a course, you need all three (22OB 4.2 and 6.3):
- at least 20 of 50 in the CIE to sit the SEE, and 40% of its own CIE for a lab part inside a theory course
- at least 35 of 100 in the SEE
- at least 40 of 100 in total
Then the total sets the grade, from the table above. A course with no SEE takes its grade from the CIE alone (22OB 6.1).
Made-up example: CIE 38 and SEE 62 give 38 + 31 = 69, a B+ worth 7 points.
The SEE rule stands on its own. Made-up example: CIE 45 and SEE 34 give 45 + 17 = 62, but the SEE is under 35 of 100, so the course is an F.
The calculator gives Ab, worth 0 points, to a course you were absent from in the SEE. VTU lists AB with no grade point (22OB 6.2), and its worked example scores an absent course as an F, 0 points.
F and absent grades in the CGPA
An F or Ab earns 0 points, and its credits stay in that semester's SGPA. VTU's own worked example, Annexure I of its 2022 regulations, has 101 credit points over 20 credits in a semester with 6 credits failed: an SGPA of 5.05.
For the CGPA, the same example leaves the failed credits out until the course is cleared: (101 + 178) ÷ (14 + 25) = 279 ÷ 39 = 7.15. A cleared course joins the semester you clear it in.
Under the VTU 2022 rule set, the calculator does the same while Leave F and Ab credits out of the CGPA until the course is cleared (VTU Annexure I) is on, under Settings. It starts on. With the UGC rule set, the calculator keeps those credits in the CGPA, as the plain formula above does. A semester entered as an SGPA counts all its credits, so enter its courses to leave its F credits out.
Some other numbers in Annexure I have errors, such as a B worth 8 points where the grade table gives 6, so the calculator does not use them.
Why this may not match your marks card
Off by 0.01
The calculator works out the CGPA from each semester's exact credit points. Your university may work from SGPAs already rounded to 2 decimals. Made-up example: 91 credit points over 11 credits (SGPA 8.27), then 84 over 11 (SGPA 7.64). From the credit points, 175 ÷ 22 = 7.95. From the rounded SGPAs, (8.27 × 11 + 7.64 × 11) ÷ 22 = 7.955, which rounds to 7.96. To work from the SGPAs as printed, enter each semester with Enter SGPA instead.
One grade off on a VTU course
VTU does not say how it rounds a total that is not a whole number before the grade. Made-up example: CIE 38 and SEE 63 give 38 + 31.5 = 69.5. Not rounded, 69.5 is below the 70 an A needs, so it is a B+, 7 points. Rounded up, it is an A, 8 points. The calculator counts the B+ and tells you about the A.
Your university is not VTU
UGC lets each university decide the marks needed to pass, and each sets its own marks bands. The marks rules here are VTU's. If your university's grade points match the UGC table, pick the UGC rule set and enter grades.

SGPA and CGPA calculator FAQ
What is the difference between SGPA and CGPA?
SGPA is your grade point average for one semester. CGPA covers every semester so far, with each semester weighted by its credits.
Can I calculate my CGPA from my SGPAs?
Yes, if you know each semester's credits. Multiply each SGPA by its credits, add the results, and divide by all the credits. Here, press Enter SGPA instead on each semester. With 20 credits at 7.50 and 22 at 8.10, the CGPA is 7.81.
How many SEE marks do I need to pass a VTU course?
At least 35 of 100, and enough for a total of 40. With a CIE of 20, an SEE of 40 makes 20 + 20 = 40. With a CIE of 30, 35 is enough: 30 + 17.5 = 47.5. A CIE of 30 and an SEE of 20 also make 30 + 10 = 40, but the course fails, because the SEE is under 35.
Does an F count in my SGPA?
Yes. An F or Ab adds 0 points over its credits, so it pulls the SGPA down. VTU's worked example then leaves those credits out of the CGPA until you clear the course.
How many credits does a VTU BE or BTech degree need?
160 credits, or 120 for lateral entry, under clause 22OB 3.3 of the 2022 regulations.
How do I convert my CGPA to a percentage?
By your university's own rule. Under the VTU 2022 scheme, the percentage is CGPA × 10, so 7.81 is 78.1%. The CGPA to Percentage Calculator has the VTU 2022, SPPU and MAKAUT rules. For an application, the official figure is the one your university gives.
Is the VTU 2025 scheme covered?
Not yet. Its regulations are a scanned PDF that we could not read, so we have no checked rules for it. The VTU 2022 rule set is for batches admitted from 2022-23.
