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
