How is CGPA calculated for Visvesvaraya Technical University (VTU) Karnataka from given percentage?
Posted On - Sep 29, 2021There is no universal formula for converting your percentage to CGPA or vice versa, and it is also dependent on where you intend to use it.
If you want to apply for graduate studies (assuming you do), your alumni who have applied recently can help you. Contact them through LinkedIn. Seek assistance from your professors/college administration as well, as they may have witnessed/aided other students who have faced similar issues in the past.
Otherwise, if you're just curious about your percentage's equivalent GPA, see if your college, VTU has an established conversion formula for students who want to pursue higher education and must include an equivalent GPA in their applications.
One of my cousins graduated from VTU. According to him this is the procedure to compute the Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) and Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA):
- The SGPA is the ratio of the sum of the product of the number of credits with the grade points scored by a student in all the courses taken by a student and the sum of the number of credits of all the courses undergone by a student, i.e SGPA (Si) = ∑(Ci x Gi) / ∑Ci where Ci is the number of credits of the ith course and Gi is the grade point scored by the student in the ith course.
- The CGPA is also calculated in the same manner taking into account all the courses undergone by a student over all the semesters of a program, i.e. CGPA = ∑(Ci x Si) / ∑ Ci where Si is the SGPA of the ith semester and Ci is the total number of credits in that semester.
- The SGPA and CGPA shall be rounded off to 2 decimal places and reported in the transcripts.
This is how CGPA is CGPA calculated for Visvesvaraya Technical University (VTU) Karnataka from a given percentage.
