Formula Used to Calculate VTU CGPA

The CGPA is also calculated in the same manner as the SGPA, considering all the courses undergone by a student over all the semesters of a programme, i.e., the formula to calculate CGPA is:

VTU Grade Scale

Below is the grade scale based on percentage to help you determine the grade point of your courses

Other Letter Grades given by VTU:

The following letter grades are also awarded under special circumstances defined below

1) NE: 0 - Credits are not included in CGPA, Attendance below 75%, hence, repeat the course (In case of electives, course change is permitted)

2) AU: 0 - Satisfactory in an Audit course

3) AB: Absent from the Course

4) PP: 0 – Passed in Non-credit course

5) NP: 0 - Not Passed in Non-credit course

6) IC: No credits - Incomplete (a placeholder; gets converted to an appropriate grade after clearing SEE examination, else converted to “F”) else automatically converted to “F”.

7) W: No credits – Dropped/ withdrawn (W is not a grade but only a placeholder indicating that the course has been dropped/withdrawn, and it must be cleared in subsequent semesters.

8) DX: Attendance below 75%

How to Calculate the VTU CGPA?

Let’s calculate CGPA for a student who has completed 3 semesters:

Step 1: Enter GPA and Credits for Each Semester

Step 2: Multiply GPA by Corresponding Credits

Total GPA = 8.2×24 + 7.5×22 + 9.0×26 
          = 196.8 + 165.0 + 234.0  
          = 595.8

Step 3: Total Credits for All Semesters

Total Credits = 24+22+26
              = 72

Step 4: Calculate CGPA

Total CGPA = 595.8/72
           = 8.27

VTU CGPA to Percentage Conversion

Conversions of CGPA into Percentage of marks and Class Equivalence. There is no standard formula for the conversion of CGPA into the percentage of marks.

However, the following formula for conversion of the CGPA on a 10-point scale into the percentage of marks is recommended by VTU:;

Percentage of marks secured, M = CGPA Earned x 10

Example:

If your CGPA is 8.27,

Percentage = 8.27 × 10 = 82.7%

VTU Class Equivalence

After successfully completing the program, a student's final CGPA is converted into a percentage (denoted as M). Based on this percentage, the student is awarded a classification as follows:
