GTU

Gujarat Technological University

Gujarat Technological University reports the semester performance index (SPI), the cumulative performance index (CPI) and the final CGPA on a ten point scale. The official percentage equivalence subtracts 0.5 from the index before multiplying by ten, so an 8.00 CPI equals 75 percent.

Key rules to remember

SPI is the credit weighted average of grade points earned in one semester.
CPI is the credit weighted average of all semesters completed so far and CGPA is the final figure at graduation.
The percentage equivalence is (CPI - 0.5) x 10 as notified by the university.
