SRM Institute of Science and Technology Grading System

SRM Institute of Science and Technology (SRMIST) implements the Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) across all its constituent engineering, technology, science, and humanities departments. Students earn academic credits for lectures, tutorials, and laboratory sessions, receiving letter grades following continuous internal assessments and end-semester examinations.

Accurately computing your semester SGPA and cumulative CGPA helps you track eligibility for on-campus placements, merit scholarships, and postgraduate admissions.

Official SRMIST Letter Grade Scale

SRMIST awards seven letter grades reflecting performance quality and corresponding grade points:

Letter Grade	Descriptive Standard	Grade Points
O	Outstanding	10
A+	Excellent	9
A	Very Good	8
B+	Good	7
B	Above Average	6
C	Average (Pass)	5
F	Fail (Arrear)	0
Ab	Absent	0

Note: The passing grade cutoff at SRMIST is ‘C’ (5 grade points). Any score falling below the minimum qualifying mark receives an ‘F’ grade.

The SRM Credit-Weighted GPA Formula

The Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) and Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) follow the standard credit-weighted formulation:

$$\text{GPA} = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^{n} (C_i \times G_i)}{\sum_{i=1}^{n} C_i}$$

Where:

• $C_i$ represents the credit value assigned to course $i$
• $G_i$ represents the numerical grade point corresponding to the letter grade obtained in course $i$
• $n$ represents the total number of enrolled courses

Step-by-Step Worked Demonstration

Consider a student in the Department of Computer Science at SRM Kattankulathur completing a semester with 16 credits:

Course Code	Subject Title	Credits ($C_i$)	Letter Grade	Grade Point ($G_i$)	Credit Points ($C_i \times G_i$)
18CSC201J	Data Structures	4	O	10	$4 \times 10 = 40$
18CSC202J	Operating Systems	4	A+	9	$4 \times 9 = 36$
18MAB201T	Applied Mathematics	3	A	8	$3 \times 8 = 24$
18EES201T	Digital Electronics	3	B+	7	$3 \times 7 = 21$
18PDH101T	Professional Skills	2	O	10	$2 \times 10 = 20$
Total	—	16	—	—	137

Applying the formula: $$\text{GPA} = \frac{137}{16} = 8.5625 \to \mathbf{8.56}$$

An 8.56 GPA qualifies the student for Tier-1 Marquee campus placement rounds and represents First Class with Distinction.

Important Academic Policies at SRMIST

• Arrear Remediation: If an ‘F’ or ‘Ab’ grade is obtained, the credits remain in the cumulative denominator, temporarily lowering CGPA until the arrear examination is cleared.
• Conversion to Percentage: Official transcripts issued by the Controller of Examinations state: $\text{Percentage} = \text{CGPA} \times 10$.
• Placement Cutoffs: Top-tier tech recruiters visiting SRMIST typically mandate a minimum CGPA cutoff between 7.50 and 8.50 with zero active standing arrears.
