How it works
VTU (Visvesvaraya Technological University) uses a 10-point absolute grading system:
- S (Outstanding) = 10 grade points
- A (Excellent) = 9 grade points
- B (Very Good) = 8 grade points
- C (Good) = 7 grade points
- D (Average) = 6 grade points
- E (Below Average) = 5 grade points
- F (Fail) = 0 grade points
SGPA Formula: SGPA = Σ(Credits × Grade Points) / Σ(Credits)
CGPA Formula: CGPA = (Previous CGPA × Previous Credits + Current SGPA × Current Credits) / (Previous Credits + Current Credits)
We also calculate your academic classification based on your CGPA.
Inputs explained
- Subject Name: Name of the course (e.g., Mathematics, Physics, C Programming).
- Credits: Credit value assigned to each course. Theory courses typically have 3-4 credits, labs have 1-2 credits.
- Grade: Letter grade received (S, A, B, C, D, E, or F).
- Calculation Mode: Choose SGPA for single semester or CGPA for cumulative calculation.
- Previous CGPA/Credits: (CGPA mode only) Your cumulative GPA and total credits before the current semester.
Example
A VTU student has the following subjects in one semester:
- Mathematics (4 credits, Grade A = 9 points) → Quality Points = 4 × 9 = 36
- Physics (4 credits, Grade B = 8 points) → Quality Points = 4 × 8 = 32
- C Programming (3 credits, Grade S = 10 points) → Quality Points = 3 × 10 = 30
Calculation:
- Total Quality Points = 36 + 32 + 30 = 98
- Total Credits = 4 + 4 + 3 = 11
- SGPA = 98 / 11 = 8.91
- Classification: First Class (8.0 ≤ CGPA < 9.0)
Tips & notes
- Include all courses: Add both theory and lab courses with their correct credit values.
- Check your syllabus: Credit values may vary by program. Verify with your VTU syllabus.
- Academic classification: Your CGPA determines your class (First Class with Distinction, First Class, etc.) and eligibility for honors.
- Failing grades: F grades (0 points) significantly impact your GPA. You'll need to retake failed courses.
- Improvement exams: If you retake a course, the better grade typically replaces the previous one.
- Official verification: Always cross-check with official VTU grade cards and ordinances.

CGPA = (Previous CGPA × Previous Credits + Current Semester SGPA × Current Semester Credits) / (Previous Credits + Current Semester Credits). This weighted average accounts for all completed semesters.
A CGPA of 8.0 or higher is required for First Class. For First Class with Distinction, you need a CGPA of 9.0 or higher.
SGPA = Σ(Credits × Grade Points) / Σ(Credits). Multiply each subject's credits by its grade points, sum these products, then divide by total credits.
Lab courses typically have 1-2 credits depending on the course. Check your VTU syllabus or grade card for the official credit values for each course.
