๐ What is SGPA & Why It Matters
SGPA (Semester Grade Point Average) is a crucial academic metric that represents your performance in a specific semester. Unlike CGPA which covers your entire academic journey, SGPA focuses on individual semester performance, making it essential for tracking academic progress, scholarship eligibility, and career opportunities.
Universities worldwide use SGPA to evaluate student performance, determine academic standing, and make decisions about promotions, scholarships, and honors. A strong SGPA demonstrates consistent academic excellence and opens doors to better opportunities in higher education and professional careers.
๐งฎ SGPA Formula & Calculation Method
The SGPA calculation follows a standardized formula that considers both the grade points earned and the credit hours of each subject:
Step-by-Step Calculation Example:
Subject | Credit Hours | Grade | Grade Points | Credit ร Points |
---|---|---|---|---|
Mathematics | 4 | A | 8 | 32 |
Physics | 3 | A+ | 9 | 27 |
Chemistry | 3 | B+ | 7 | 21 |
English | 2 | A | 8 | 16 |
Calculation: SGPA = (32 + 27 + 21 + 16) รท (4 + 3 + 3 + 2) = 96 รท 12 = 8.00
