A Student-Friendly Guide to Understanding Your Grades
If you’re a student at SRM University, knowing how to calculate your CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) is essential. Whether you’re tracking your academic performance or preparing for placements and higher studies, your CGPA reflects your efforts throughout your course.
This article will explain how the SRM CGPA calculator works, the formula used, the grading system followed at SRM University, and how you can convert your results easily and accurately.
What is CGPA at SRM University?
CGPA, or Cumulative Grade Point Average, is the weighted average of the grade points you earn in all subjects across semesters. It reflects your overall academic performance in a program.
Unlike percentage systems, CGPA focuses on a grade point scale, typically ranging from 0 to 10.
At SRM University, CGPA is calculated semester-wise and cumulatively, and it plays a major role in determining:
- Eligibility for placement
- Academic standing
- Scholarships
- Postgraduate admission criteria
SRM University Grading System
Before using the SRM CGPA calculator, it’s important to understand how grades are assigned at SRM. The university follows a 10-point grading scale, where each letter grade corresponds to specific grade points.
π SRM Grading Table:
Letter Grade | Grade Point |
---|---|
O | 10 |
A+ | 9 |
A | 8 |
B+ | 7 |
B | 6 |
C | 5 |
P | 4 |
F | 0 (Fail) |
Ab | 0 (Absent) |
Each subject has specific credit points, and your grade in that subject is multiplied by its credit to calculate your weighted score
How is CGPA Calculated at SRM?
The SRM CGPA formula is based on the weighted average of grades across all subjects and their respective credits.
β CGPA Formula:
CGPA = Ξ£ (Credit Γ Grade Point) / Ξ£ (Total Credits)
π Example:
Letβs say you have the following grades:
- Subject A (3 credits, Grade A+ = 9) β 3 Γ 9 = 27
- Subject B (4 credits, Grade B = 6) β 4 Γ 6 = 24
- Subject C (2 credits, Grade O = 10) β 2 Γ 10 = 20
Total Grade Points = 27 + 24 + 20 = 71
Total Credits = 3 + 4 + 2 = 9
CGPA = 71 Γ· 9 = 7.89

SRM CGPA to Percentage Conversion
SRM University does not follow a fixed multiplier (like Γ9.5) for converting CGPA to percentage. You must check with your department or placement cell for the official conversion method.
If no official method is provided, a common estimation used by many institutions is:
Percentage = CGPA Γ 10
So, if your CGPA is 7.89, your approximate percentage would be:
7.89 Γ 10 = 78.9%
Always confirm the conversion formula with SRMβs academic office before using it in official documents.
