VIT GPA Calculation Formula

The formula used to calculate GPA or Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) at VIT is:

             Total Grade Points Earned in the Semester
GPA/SGPA = __________________________________________
              Total Credits for the Semester

Formula Components

Grade Point Calculation for Individual Courses

Grade Point of a course = Credits of the course × Points of the Grade obtained for the course

How to Calculate VIT GPA: Complete Example

Step 1: Understand the Grading Scale

Refer to the VIT grade scale where each letter grade corresponds to a point value (S=10, A=9, B=8, C=7, D=6, E=5, F=0).

Step 2: Gather Grade Points and Credits for Each Subject

Example semester data:

Subject Credits Letter Grade Grade Points (per credit)
Maths 1 3 A 9
Physics 4 B 8
Chemistry 3 C 7
PPS 3 D 6

Step 3: Calculate Total Grade Points

Calculate grade points for each subject:

Total Grade Points = 27 + 32 + 21 + 18 = 98

Step 4: Calculate Total Credits

Total Credits = 3 + 4 + 3 + 3 = 13

Step 5: Compute GPA

Using the formula:

                  Sum of Grade Points of the Semester
GPA/SGPA =       __________________________________
                    Total Credits of the Semester

GPA/SGPA = 98 ÷ 13 ≈ 7.54
