University rule guide
VIT GPA and CGPA calculator guide
The shared S-to-F grade-point scale and credit-weighted GPA/CGPA method work across the four main VIT campuses. The cited FFCS rules and weighted-marks presets are verified for Vellore and Chennai. VIT-AP and VIT Bhopal students should match editable assessment weights to their campus and course regulation.

Campus and college scope
Exact SGPA and CGPA formula
Σ(Credits × Grade Point) ÷ Σ(Credits)
Multiply each included course’s credits by its grade point. Add the weighted points, add the included credits, then divide. For CGPA, use all counted courses across the semesters covered by your university record. A simple average of semester results is correct only when the counted credits match.
Included and excluded subjects
Included in the preset
Courses with the published grade points below are included when they carry counted credits.
- S: Passed
- A: Passed
- B: Passed
- C: Passed
- D: Passed
- E: Passed
- F: Failed
- N: Incomplete or not cleared
Excluded or needs checking
- Pass/fail, audit and withdrawn courses.

A status can affect progression even when it does not enter CGPA. Check the regulation before removing a failed, repeated, withdrawn, audit or non-credit course.

CGPA to percentage conversion
CGPA × 10. Use this only for the programme and regulation covered by the source record.
Conversion rules are not interchangeable. A formula from another university, batch or unofficial website does not replace the source linked below.
Open the VIT conversion calculatorTarget CGPA for the next semester
To plan a target, use your current CGPA, completed counted credits, target CGPA and expected next semester credits. The required next GPA is:
[Target CGPA × (completed credits + next credits) − current CGPA × completed credits] ÷ next credits
This record uses round up rounding for the displayed target result. Keep the unrounded value while planning and exclude courses that the regulation does not count.
Open the VIT target CGPA calculatorWorked example
Suppose three included courses carry 4, 3 and 2 credits with grade points 8, 9 and 7. The weighted points are 32, 27 and 14. Their total is 73 and the counted credits total 9, so the semester result is 73 ÷ 9 = 8.11 when displayed to two decimals.
This is an illustration, not an official VIT transcript calculation. Replace the example values with the course credits and grade points that your regulation counts.
Common input mistakes
- Choosing a regulation because it gives a better result instead of matching your batch and programme.
- Entering marks where the calculator expects a grade point, or using the wrong university grade table.
- Including audit, pass/fail, withdrawal, exemption or non-credit entries without checking the source clause.
- Taking a simple average of semester SGPAs when the semesters have different counted credits.
- Rounding each intermediate value before the final division or conversion.
