Calculate CGPA from semester percentages

Introduction

Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU), headquartered in Belgaum, Karnataka, is one of India's largest technical universities, governing over 200+ engineering colleges. VTU follows a Grade Point Average (GPA) system to evaluate student performance each semester. Calculating GPA helps students track academic progress, meet placement eligibility, and apply for higher studies like MTech or MBA.

Why Calculate GPA?

Placements: Companies like Infosys and Wipro set GPA cutoffs (e.g., 7.0+).
Higher Education: Universities require GPA for admissions.
Backlog Avoidance: Monitor grades to ensure timely graduation.

VTU GPA Calculation Formula

Official Formula

GPA = Σ (Credit × Grade Point) ÷ Total Credits

VTU Grade Point Chart

Marks Range (%)	Grade	Grade Point
90–100	A+	10
80–89	A	9
70–79	B	8
60–69	C	7
50–59	D	6
40–49	E	4
Below 40	F	0

Combining Internal & External Marks

Internal (IA): 20–30 marks (varies by subject).
External (ESA): 70–80 marks.
Total Marks: IA + ESA.

Example:

If you score 25/30 in IA and 60/70 in ESA, total marks = 85/100 → Grade A (9 points).

Example Calculation

Let's calculate GPA for a 3rd-semester Computer Science student:

Subject	Credits	IA Marks	ESA Marks	Total	Grade	Grade Point	Credit × GP
Engineering Maths	4	28	65	93	A+	10	40
Data Structures	4	26	58	84	A	9	36
Analog Electronics	3	22	48	70	B	8	24
Operating Systems	3	24	52	76	B	8	24
Total	14	-	-	-	-	-	124

GPA Calculation:

GPA = 124 ÷ 14 = 8.86

Importance of GPA in VTU

Placements

Top recruiters like Microsoft and TCS require 7.5+ GPA.

Higher Studies

Universities like IISc and IITs consider GPA for MTech admissions.

Backlog Avoidance

GPA below 4.0 (Grade E) in any subject leads to a backlog.
