CGPA stands for Cumulative Grade Point Average. It is a measure of your overall academic performance across all semesters.

Your CGPA is important because:

It determines if you can promote to the next year or not.
Higher CGPA can help you get better job opportunities or admission in higher studies.
It reflects your hard work and dedication towards your studies.

Your CGPA is calculated using the following formula:

CGPA = (Sum of Course credits × Grade points for all courses) / (Total Course credits)

Example: If you have taken 5 courses each with 4 credits, scoring 'A' grade (9 points) in 3 courses and 'B' grade (8 points) in 2 courses:

SGPA = (3 × 4 × 9 + 2 × 4 × 8) / (5 × 4) = 8.4

To be able to promote to the next year, you need to meet the following requirements:

Secure a 'P' (Pass, grade point 5.0) or higher grade in at least 40 credits of prescribed courses from consecutive odd and even semesters.
Obtain a minimum CGPA of 5 or above (considering all courses, including those in which you have secured an 'F' grade).

Important: If your CGPA at the end of the 2nd semester is less than 5, you will not be allowed to register in the 3rd semester.

CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) measures your overall performance across all semesters.

SGPA is calculated only for the courses taken in a particular semester, while CGPA considers all courses across all semesters.
