SGPA or Semester Grading Point Average is a metric for your performance in a particular semester.
It is an integral part of NITC's credit based grading system.
Calculating
NITC professors wants the grades of students to follow the bell curve, nature's most recurring distribution system.
If you dont want to get into details, the formulae follows a pattern similar to the following.
S = 10 above (a + 1.5*sd)
A = 9 above (a + 1.0*sd)
B = 8 above (a + 0.5*sd)
C = 7 above (a)
D = 6 above (a - 0.5*sd)
E = 5 above (a - 1.0*sd)
F = 4 above (a - 1.5*sd)
where a is the average of the class and sd is the standard deviation.
The cleverness of this method of grading isn't just restricted to it's mathematical beauty. Since you can figure out the marks of all your classmates, finding both average and median of your class's perfomance is IMPOSSIBLE .
STOP TRYING TO GUESS IT. You can't guess your grade in a relative graded course.
