Sathyabama CGPA to Percentage Calculator
Sathyabama's Controller of Examinations answered the conversion question in a "To whomsoever it may concern" certificate dated 15 October 2020: to get the overall performance in percentage, the CGPA shall be multiplied by 10. A final CGPA of 8.36 is 83.6%.
The same certificate explains how the CGPA is built, and it differs from many universities in one respect. Both the semester GPA and the CGPA are Σ CiGPi / Σ Ci, but the sums run over the courses successfully cleared — n is the number of courses cleared in the semester for the GPA, and in all semesters for the CGPA. A course you have not yet passed is simply not in the average, rather than counting as zero.
The letter-grade credit system has been used for Sathyabama degree programmes since 2008, and the final CGPA on the consolidated grade sheet covers every course of the programme. Enter that CGPA below; the reverse tool gives the CGPA needed for a target percentage.
The certificate is issued by the Controller of Examinations and applies to all degree programmes.
