DSU CGPA Calculator

Q: What is the DSU grading scale?

Dayananda Sagar University uses a 10-point letter grading system: O = 10 (Outstanding), A+ = 9 (Excellent), A = 8 (Very Good), B+ = 7 (Good), B = 6 (Above Average), C = 5 (Average), P = 4 (Pass), F = 0 (Fail). The minimum grade required to pass a course is P, and a student must score at least 40% overall in each course.

Q: How is DSU CGPA converted to percentage?

Dayananda Sagar University uses the official formula Percentage = (CGPA - 0.75) x 10. For example, a CGPA of 8.07 converts to (8.07 - 0.75) x 10 = 73.20%. This conversion is specified in the DSU academic regulations (UG 10.13.1).

Q: What is the minimum CGPA to graduate from DSU?

As per DSU regulations, a student must maintain a minimum CGPA of 4 to be eligible for the award of the degree. A candidate must also clear all courses in which an F grade was obtained by re-registering until a passing grade is earned.

Q: How is SGPA different from CGPA at DSU?

SGPA (Semester Grade Point Average) is the grade point average for a single semester, while CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) is the weighted average across all completed semesters. SGPA uses course grade points and credits; CGPA uses each semester's SGPA weighted by that semester's credits.

Q: What does the F grade mean at DSU?

An F grade denotes a fail and carries 0 grade points. A candidate awarded an F grade must repeat the course until a passing grade is obtained. The credits remain in the CGPA denominator until the course is cleared, which lowers the CGPA.

The Math

DSU CGPA Formula

Per the official Dayananda Sagar University academic regulations.

DSU CGPA Formula

\[ \text{CGPA} = \frac{\displaystyle\sum_{j=1}^{m} (C_j \times S_j)}{\displaystyle\sum_{j=1}^{m} C_j} \]

C_jCredits of the j-th semester

S_jSGPA earned in the j-th semester

mNumber of completed semesters

Worked Example

A B.Tech student at DSU has completed all 8 semesters with the following performance:

Semester	SGPA	Credits	SGPA × Credits
1st	8.0	16.5	8.0 × 16.5 = 132.0
2nd	6.9	19	6.9 × 19 = 131.1
3rd	8.3	23	8.3 × 23 = 190.9
4th	7.9	24	7.9 × 24 = 189.6
5th	8.9	20	8.9 × 20 = 178.0
6th	6.8	21	6.8 × 21 = 142.8
7th	9.6	27	9.6 × 27 = 259.2
8th	7.7	24	7.7 × 24 = 184.8
Total	—	174.5	1,408.4

Plugging into the formula:

\[ \text{CGPA} = \frac{1408.4}{174.5} \approx \mathbf{8.07} \]

And the percentage equivalent (using the DSU formula below):

\[ \text{Percentage} = (8.07 - 0.75) \times 10 = \mathbf{73.20\%} \]
