Understanding the JUIT Grading System (SGPA & CGPA)
Moving from the percentage-based marking system of high school to the grading system at
university can be disorienting. The Jaypee University of Information Technology follows
the standard 10-point grading system.
This article will tell you all about the
marking system, calculation process, and conversion.
The 10-Point Scale
Based on your performance in the T1, T2, T3 exams, and internal assessments, you will receive a grade for each subject. Each grade has a Grade Point (out of 10) that is assigned to it.
- A+ = 10 Grade Points
- A = 9 Grade Points
- B+ = 8 Grade Points
- B = 7 Grade Points
- C+ = 6 Grade Points
- C = 5 Grade Points
- D = 4 Grade Points (Marginal Pass)
- F = 0 Grade Points (Fail)
Note: The grades at JUIT are often relative and based on the overall performance of the class.
What is SGPA?
SGPA (Semester Grade Point Average) is the grade point average of just ONE semester. Each subject has a certain number of "Credits" associated with it (Most core CSE subjects are of 4 credits, labs are 1 credit, and so on).
The SGPA is basically the weighted mean of your grade points in different subjects during
one semester. Formula: Sum of (Course Credits × Grade Points) / Total Semester Credits
What is CGPA?
CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) is basically the total average of your performance across all semesters. It is the weighted average of your SGPA from all the semesters put together.
Your CGPA is the most important thing on your resume, and most of the top IT companies that visit JUIT for campus placements ask for a minimum CGPA of 7.0 or 7.5.
Converting CGPA to Percentage
CGPA to Percentage Conversion can be a bit of a headache since most higher education institutions and government jobs ask for percentage as the mark of grading. For recent batches at JUIT, the CGPA to percentage conversion is pretty straightforward:
So for example, if your CGPA is 8.25, then your percentage would be 82.5%. If you need official documentation for this, you can apply for a Convert Certificate from the university registrar.
