SRM grade points and mark ranges
| Letter grade | Grade points | Mark range |
|---|---|---|
| O (Outstanding) | 10 | 91 – 100 |
| A+ (Excellent) | 9 | 81 – 90 |
| A (Very Good) | 8 | 71 – 80 |
| B+ (Good) | 7 | 61 – 70 |
| B (Above average) | 6 | 56 – 60 |
| C (Average) | 5 | 50 – 55 |
| F (Fail) | 0 | below 50 |
| Ab (Absent) | 0 | Did not appear |
| I (Incomplete) | 0 | Insufficient attendance |
R 8.1 introduces this table as the letter grades and grade points “as recommended by UGC”. A student earns the credits for a course with any grade other than F, Ab or I.
The SRM SGPA and CGPA formulas
SGPA = Σ(credits × grade points) ÷ Σ(credits), over every course taken that semester, including the ones graded F.
CGPA averages the semester SGPAs weighted by each semester's credits (R 8.6(ii)). Both are rounded to two decimal places on the transcript.
Worked example
| Course | Credits | Grade | Points | Credits × points |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Course 1 | 4 | O | 10 | 40 |
| Course 2 | 4 | A+ | 9 | 36 |
| Course 3 | 3 | A | 8 | 24 |
| Course 4 | 3 | B+ | 7 | 21 |
Total credits = 14, total points = 121, so SGPA = 121 ÷ 14 = 8.64. Under R 8.7 that is 8.64 × 10 = 86.4%.
What an F does to the average
Because failed courses stay in the denominator and contribute zero, one F in a 4-credit course pulls the example above from 8.64 to 6.72 (121 ÷ 18). Clearing the arrear replaces the grade in a later semester, but the regulation decides how that is reported: read R 8.9 onwards for the arrear rules.
How to use this calculator
- Add one row per credit course and enter its credits.
- Pick the letter grade from your grade sheet.
- Leave out mandatory non-credit courses (R 8.1(a)).
- Read your SGPA, or enter every semester at once for the CGPA.
Grade points, the SGPA rule and the percentage formula come from the SRMIST Academic Regulations 2021 (B.Tech / M.Tech Integrated), read on 20 September 2026. Regulations change and differ between campuses and programmes; check yours with the Controller of Examinations before relying on a figure.
