How is CGPA calculated in the SPPU Choice Based Credit System (CBCS)?

 In Savitribai Phule Pune University (SPPU) under the Choice Based Credit System (CBCS), CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) is calculated based on the grade points earned in each course and the corresponding credits. Here's the standard method:

---

1. Grade Points Assignment

Each course is graded with a letter grade, which has a corresponding grade point. For SPPU, the typical scale is:

Letter Grade	Grade Points
O (Outstanding)	10
A+ (Excellent)	9
A (Very Good)	8
B+ (Good)	7
B (Average)	6
C (Pass)	5
F (Fail)	0

2. Calculating Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA)

For a given semester:

$$\text{SGPA} = \frac{\sum (\text{Grade Point} \times \text{Credits of the course})}{\sum \text{Credits of all courses in that semester}}$$

• Multiply the grade point by the credits of each course.

• Add these for all courses in the semester.

• Divide by the total credits of the semester.

3. Calculating Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA)

Over all semesters:

$$\text{CGPA} = \frac{\sum (\text{SGPA of each semester} \times \text{Credits in that semester})}{\sum \text{Total Credits of all semesters}}$$

• This is credit-weighted across all semesters.

---

4. Converting CGPA to Percentage (Optional)

SPPU often uses:

$$\text{Percentage} = \text{CGPA} \times 10$$

---

✅ Key Points:

• Only passed courses contribute to CGPA.

• F or Fail grades get 0, which lowers SGPA/CGPA.

• Each course’s credit is crucial in weighting the grade.
