SGPA stands for Semester Grade Point Average. It measures academic performance in a single semester using the formula: SGPA = Σ(Course Credits × Grade Points) / Σ(Total Course Credits).

Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) is calculated by taking the weighted credit average of all semester SGPAs across your degree program: CGPA = Σ(Semester SGPA × Semester Credits) / Σ(Total Credits across all semesters).
