Why GPA Matters at SPPU

Your GPA impacts critical academic and career milestones:

• Placements: Companies like TCS, Infosys, and Cognizant often set a minimum 7.0 CGPA for eligibility.
• Scholarships: SPPU’s Merit Scholarship requires a minimum 8.5 GPA (non-backlog).
• Higher Studies: Universities abroad convert SPPU’s 10-point scale to their grading system (e.g., 8.0+ GPA = 3.6/4.0 in the US).

Understanding SPPU’s CBCS Grading System

SPPU follows the Choice-Based Credit System (CBCS). Key details:

• Grades to Points:
• O = 10 | A+ = 9 | A = 8 | B+ = 7 | B = 6 | C = 5 | D = 4 | F = 0
• Passing Criteria: Minimum D (4 points) in each subject.
• Backlog Impact: An F grade (0 points) drags down GPA until cleared. Recalculate after re-exams.

Step-by-Step Example Calculation

Scenario: Semester 1 (B.Tech Student)

Manual Calculation:
[ \text{GPA} = \frac{(4 \times 8) + (3 \times 7) + (2 \times 10) + (1 \times 9)}{4+3+2+1} = \frac{32 + 21 + 20 + 9}{10} = \frac{82}{10} = 8.2 ]

Tool Advantage: The SPPU GPA Calculator automates this in seconds, eliminating errors.

5 Common Mistakes & Fixes

1. Wrong Credits:

• Fix: Check credits in SPPU’s Course Handbook (search your program under “Academics”).

1. Incorrect Grade Conversion:

• Fix: Use the tool’s dropdown menu to avoid confusing A (8) with A+ (9).

1. Missing Subjects:

• Fix: Add all subjects, including labs/projects (even 1-credit courses).

1. Backlog Overlook:

• Fix: Enter F (0) for pending re-exams and recalculate later.

1. Rounding Errors:

• Fix: The tool follows SPPU’s rounding rules (e.g., 7.84 → 7.8, not 7.9).
