How can students verify the correctness of CGPA to percentage conversion?

 Students at SPPU can verify the correctness of their CGPA to percentage conversion by following a systematic approach, because the university’s CGPA system is credit-weighted and each course contributes differently. Here’s how to do it:


1. Know the CGPA to Percentage Formula

SPPU generally uses:

Percentage=CGPA×10\text{Percentage} = \text{CGPA} \times 10
  • For example, CGPA 7.2 → 72%

  • This is the official conversion, but it assumes the CGPA was calculated correctly.


2. Check Individual Course Calculations

To be sure the CGPA is correct:

  1. List all courses taken in the program.

  2. Note the credit and grade point for each course.

  3. Use the credit-weighted formula:

CGPA=(Grade Point×Credits)Credits\text{CGPA} = \frac{\sum (\text{Grade Point} \times \text{Credits})}{\sum \text{Credits}}
  1. Multiply the resulting CGPA by 10 to get the percentage.


3. Compare with Official Marks

  • Compare your calculated percentage with the percentage shown on the official mark sheet.

  • Small differences may occur if the university rounds CGPA differently.


4. Verify SGPA per Semester

  • Check each semester’s SGPA using the same formula:

SGPA=(Grade Point×Credits in that semester)Credits in that semester\text{SGPA} = \frac{\sum (\text{Grade Point} \times \text{Credits in that semester})}{\sum \text{Credits in that semester}}
  • Then ensure final CGPA is the credit-weighted average of all SGPAs.


5. Ask the University (if needed)

  • If there’s a mismatch, SPPU allows students to request a re-check or verification of marks/CGPA through the exam cell.

  • Keep course grade cards and credit info ready for reference.


Tip: The key is ensuring that grade points × credits for all courses add up correctly and the credit totals are accurate. Mistakes usually happen in credit weightings or rounding errors.
