How to Calculate CGPA for TU BBS Students

Tribhuvan University BBS program follows a semester-based grading system similar to other TU programs. Your CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) reflects your overall academic performance and helps you review transcripts, forms, and academic progress.

TU Grading Scale (4.0 Point System)

TU uses a standardized 4.0 grading scale for all semester programs including BBS:

Marks Range	Grade	Grade Point	Description
90-100	A	4.0	Outstanding
80-89	A-	3.7	Excellent
70-79	B+	3.3	Very Good
60-69	B	3.0	Good
55-59	B-	2.7	Satisfactory
50-54	C+	2.3	Acceptable
45-49	C	2.0	Pass
40-44	D	1.7	Marginal Pass
Below 40	F	0.0	Fail

Understanding SGPA vs CGPA

SGPA (Semester Grade Point Average) represents your performance in a single semester, while CGPA is your cumulative average across all semesters.

SGPA Formula:

SGPA = Σ(Grade Point × Credit Hours) / Σ(Credit Hours)

CGPA Formula:

CGPA = Σ(All Grade Points × Credit Hours) / Σ(All Credit Hours)

Example CGPA Calculation:

• Semester 1: SGPA 3.5 (Total Credit Hours: 16)
• Semester 2: SGPA 3.6 (Total Credit Hours: 16)
• Semester 3: SGPA 3.4 (Total Credit Hours: 16)

CGPA = (3.5 + 3.6 + 3.4) / 3 = 3.5
