💡 Quick Tips
Enter the exact credits shown on your SRM marksheet for the most accurate CGPA
If credits are unknown, use 24 as the default — it is the most common value per semester
A drop of 1 point in SGPA affects CGPA less in later semesters due to averaging effect
Higher-credit semesters have more weight — focus effort on Sem 5 and 6
Use this tool after every semester to track your CGPA progress in real time
Your semester score alone does not tell the full story — your cumulative CGPA does.
Every semester at SRM University, you receive an SGPA — a number between 0 and 10 that represents your academic performance for that particular term. While SGPA gives a clear snapshot of how a single semester went, it is your CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) that matters most. CGPA is the single number that appears on your degree certificate, placement portal profile, and postgraduate application forms.
Calculating CGPA is not as simple as averaging all your SGPAs. The correct method is a credit-weighted average, which means semesters with more courses (and therefore more credits) carry greater weight in the final calculation. This tool handles all of that automatically — just enter your SGPA and credits for each completed semester, and you get an accurate CGPA instantly.
Whether you have completed two semesters or all eight, this calculator works for you. Students in their early semesters can use it to simulate different scenarios and set realistic CGPA targets. Final-year students can use it to verify the CGPA figure before submitting applications or attending interviews.
The Formula
How CGPA is Calculated from SGPA
SRM University uses a standard credit-weighted formula to compute CGPA from individual semester grade points:
If every semester has the same number of credits, this formula simplifies to a plain average of your SGPAs. However, in most B.Tech programmes at SRM, credits do vary — particularly in the final year where project work replaces some coursework. Using the actual credit values always gives a more precise result.

How to Use This Calculator
It takes under a minute to get your accurate CGPA with a full semester breakdown.
1
Check Your Marksheet
Before you start, have your SRM marksheet or student portal open. You will need two numbers for each completed semester: your SGPA and the total credits for that semester. Both are printed on your official result sheet.
2
Enter SGPA & Credits per Semester
Fill in the SGPA (a number between 0 and 10) and the total credits for each semester row. The calculator starts with 4 rows. If you have more semesters, click "Add Semester" to add extra rows — up to 8 in total.
3
Watch the Live Preview
As you type, the live preview box at the bottom updates your running CGPA in real time. This is useful for quick estimates without pressing the main calculate button. It uses the same credit-weighted formula as the full result.
4
Click Calculate CGPA
Press the Calculate CGPA button to get your complete result — including your overall CGPA, SRM percentage equivalent, degree class, and a semester-wise breakdown showing each term's contribution to your final score.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything SRM students ask about SGPA, CGPA, and how they are calculated.
SGPA (Semester Grade Point Average) is calculated for a single semester only. It reflects how well you performed in that particular term. CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average), on the other hand, is the weighted average of all your SGPAs across every semester you have completed. CGPA gives a more complete picture of your overall academic record.
At SRM University, CGPA is calculated using a credit-weighted average formula: CGPA = (Sum of [SGPA × Credits for each semester]) ÷ Total Credits completed. If each semester carries the same number of credits, then CGPA is simply the average of all your SGPAs.
In most programmes at SRM, each semester carries 24 to 26 credits. While the credits may slightly vary between semesters — especially in the final year due to project work — many students use the simple average as a close approximation. For the most accurate CGPA, use the actual credits per semester, which can be found in your official SRM marksheet or transcript.
No. Your CGPA is always between the lowest and highest SGPA you have earned. It is a weighted average, so it can never exceed your highest semester score. However, a very strong SGPA in a high-credit semester will pull your CGPA upward more than the same SGPA in a low-credit semester.
This tool supports up to 8 semesters, which covers the full duration of a 4-year B.Tech programme at SRM University. You can enter data for as few semesters as you have completed — ideal for current students who want to track their running CGPA after each term.
Yes, a CGPA of 7.5 is generally considered a good score for campus placements at SRM. Most IT and service-sector companies set a cut-off of 7.0 or above. Product-based companies and premium MNCs typically require 8.0 or above. Government and PSU roles may have their own separate criteria based on percentage equivalents.
One weak semester does affect your CGPA, but the impact depends on the credit weighting. If the poor SGPA is in a low-credit semester, the damage is relatively limited. Conversely, strong performance in high-credit semesters (like Semester 5 or 6, which often have more courses) can help recover your CGPA more effectively.
