Question 1

How do I calculate my CGPA for SRM University?

Accepted Answer

To calculate your SRM CGPA, you need the SGPA (Semester Grade Point Average) and the total credits for each semester. The formula is the sum of (SGPA × Credits) for all semesters, divided by the total sum of credits. Our SRM CGPA Calculator automates this entire process for you.

Question 2

How do I convert my SRM CGPA to a percentage?

SRM University (SRMIST) generally follows a straightforward conversion formula: Percentage (%) = CGPA × 10. For example, if your CGPA is 8.5, your equivalent percentage would be 85%. Always confirm with the official SRM academic guidelines for any updates to this rule.

Question 4

What is a good CGPA at SRM for job placements?

Question 5

Is the CGPA calculation method the same across all Indian universities?

Accepted Answer

No, it is not standardized. Every university (like VTU, Anna University, DU, etc.) follows its own UGC/AICTE approved guidelines regarding credits, grading, and calculation formulas. Always refer to your own university's official rulebook.

Question 6

What is the difference between Percentage and Percentile?

Accepted Answer

Percentage is an absolute score (your marks out of 100), which your CGPA represents. Percentile is a relative score used in exams like SRMJEEE/CAT/JEE, indicating the percentage of candidates you scored more than. A 95th percentile means you scored better than 95% of other test-takers.

Question 7

What CGPA is required for government jobs or PSUs in India?

Accepted Answer

Most government jobs and Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) like NTPC, BHEL, or ONGC require a minimum of 60% aggregate marks. This generally translates to a 6.0-6.5 CGPA on a 10-point scale, but it is essential to check the specific job notification for exact requirements.
