Computation of SGPA and CGPA

  1. There is absolute grading system. In this system the marks are converted to grades, and every semester results will be declared with semester grade point average (SGPA) and Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA).
  2. The grading system with the letter grades and the assigned range of marks under absolute grading system are as given below:
Grade % Marks range Grade Point performance
S ≥90 10 Outstanding
A ≥80- <90 9 Excellent
B ≥70- <80 8 V. Good
C ≥60- <70 7 Good
D ≥45- <60 6 Above Average
E ≥40- <45 4 Average
F <40 0 Fail

A student obtaining Grade ‘F’ in a Course shall be considered failed and is required to reappear in subsequent SEE. The letter grade earned by the student during his / her reappearance shall be retained. The number of attempts taken to clear a Course shall be marked in the grade cards/ transcripts.

Conversions of Grades into Percentage  

[CGPA Earned – 0.75] x 10= Percentage of marks scored.

Example: [CGPA Earned 7.75 – 0.75]x 10 = 70.0%

  1. As per new rules for getting admission in engineering college, Mathematics and Physic become optional. VTU should also not make mandatory to pass Mathematics in semesters exams ( pass based on internal exams) . It will support to students to get degree on time and start carrier building quickly.
