Understanding SRM's Grading System

SRM University uses a 10-point grading system with letter grades corresponding to percentage ranges:

Letter Grade Grade Points Percentage Range Performance
S 10 90-100% Outstanding
A 9 80-89% Excellent
B 8 70-79% Good
C 7 60-69% Average
D 6 50-59% Below Average
E 5 40-49% Marginal
F 0 Below 40% Fail

The Grade Point Average (GPA) is calculated by multiplying each course's grade points by its credit hours, summing these values, and dividing by the total credit hours.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between GPA and CGPA?+

GPA (Grade Point Average) refers to your average grade points for a single semester, while CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) is your overall average across all completed semesters. CGPA is calculated by averaging all your semester GPAs weighted by credit hours.

How can I improve my GPA?+

To improve your GPA: focus on courses with higher credit values first, seek help from professors during office hours, form study groups, manage your time effectively, and prioritize assignments based on their weight in the final grade. Consistently scoring well in all courses is key to gradual improvement.

What is a good GPA at SRM University?+

A GPA of 8.0 or above is generally considered good, while 9.0+ is excellent. For competitive programs and placements, aim for at least 8.5. However, "good" depends on your goals - some companies have specific GPA cutoffs, while others focus more on skills and projects.

How are elective courses calculated in GPA?+

Elective courses are included in your GPA calculation just like core courses. Their grade points and credit hours factor into your semester GPA equally. Some departments may have different rules for audit courses or non-credit electives, so check with your academic advisor.

Can I calculate my CGPA with this tool?+

This calculator computes semester GPA. For CGPA, you would need to calculate each semester's GPA separately, then compute a weighted average based on total credit hours across all semesters. We may add CGPA functionality in future updates.

What if I have a backlog or failed course?+

Failed courses (grade F) are included in GPA calculations with 0 grade points until you clear them. When you repeat and pass the course, the new grade replaces the F in GPA calculation, though both attempts may appear on your transcript.

How accurate is this GPA calculator?+

Our calculator follows SRM University's official grading system precisely. However, always verify with your department as grading policies may occasionally change. The results should match your official GPA when calculated with the same input data.

Does SRM use grade inflation or curves?+

SRM generally doesn't employ institutional grade inflation, but some professors may adjust grades or apply curves at their discretion. Departmental policies vary, so it's best to consult your course syllabus or instructor about specific grading practices.

How do lab courses affect GPA?+

Lab courses typically carry fewer credits (1-2) compared to theory courses (3-4), so they have proportionally less impact on your overall GPA. However, they contribute to your total credit hours and should not be neglected as multiple lab courses can collectively influence your GPA.

What's the highest possible GPA at SRM?+

The maximum GPA is 10.0, achieved by earning S grades (90-100%) in all courses. This perfect score is rare but possible with exceptional performance across all subjects in a semester.
