What is SPI?
SPI stands for Semester Performance Index. It measures a student’s academic performance in a specific semester or term.
SPI is calculated by assigning a weightage to each course based on its credit value and multiplying it by the grade obtained in that course. The grades are typically on a scale of 10. The weighted grade points for all the courses in a semester are then added together, and the sum is divided by the total credits of all the courses in that semester to calculate the SPI.
SPI provides an assessment of a student’s performance in a particular semester and helps gauge their understanding and progress in their academic studies during that specific period.
What is CPI?
CPI is an overall assessment of a student’s academic performance across all the semesters of their course. It takes into account the grades obtained in all the subjects completed throughout the duration of the course.
To calculate CPI, each subject’s grade is assigned a weightage based on its credit value, and the grade obtained in that subject is multiplied by the corresponding weightage. The weighted grade points for all the subjects in all the semesters are then added together, and the sum is divided by the total credit value of all the subjects to determine the CPI.
CPI provides a comprehensive view of a student’s academic performance throughout their entire course at GTU. It considers the grades obtained in each subject and their respective credit values. CPI is commonly used for various purposes, such as assessing a student’s overall performance, eligibility for scholarships, placements, and academic honours.

What is CGPA?
CGPA measures a student’s overall academic performance in the last four semesters of their course, typically spanning two years. It is calculated by taking the weighted average of the grade points obtained in all the subjects completed during these four semesters.
To calculate CGPA, each subject is assigned a weightage based on its credit value, and the grade obtained in that subject is multiplied by the corresponding weightage. The sum of these weighted grade points is then divided by the total credit value of all the subjects to determine the CGPA.
CGPA provides a comprehensive evaluation of a student’s academic performance during the final two years of their course at GTU. It takes into account the grades obtained in each subject and their respective credit values. CGPA is widely used for various purposes, including assessing eligibility for scholarships, placements, and academic honours.

Difference between SPI, CPI and CGPA?
| SPI | CPI | CGPA |
|---|---|---|
| SPI is a measure of a student’s academic performance specific to a particular semester. | CPI is an overall measure of a student’s academic performance throughout their entire course, considering all the semesters. | CGPA is an average of the grade points obtained by a student in the last four semesters of the course. |
| It calculates the grades obtained in the subjects completed in a particular semester only. | It takes into account the grades obtained in all the subjects across all the semesters. | It considers the grades obtained in all the subjects completed in the last four semesters, typically representing the final two years of the course. |
| SPI reflects the performance of the student in a specific period or semester. | CPI provides an assessment of the student’s overall performance across the entire duration of the course. | CGPA provides an assessment of the student’s performance specifically in the latter part of their course. |
How to calculate the Percentage from CPI/CGPA in GTU?
Converting CPI/CGPA to percentage in GTU follows a simple formula. To obtain the equivalent percentage marks, the CPI/CGPA is subtracted by 0.5 and then multiplied by 10. or students can also use GTURanker’s CPI/CGPA to Percentage Calculator GTU to make the process smooth.
- Percentage Marks = (CPl/CGPA-0.5) X10
This conversion formula allows GTU students to easily translate their CPI/CGPA scores into the more familiar and widely used percentage format.
Award of Degree
In courses with a duration of more than 2 years, the degree will be awarded based on the CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) calculated from the performance in the last four semesters’ exams. However, for courses with a duration of 2 years, the degree will be conferred based on the CPI (Cumulative Performance Index), considering the performance in all four semesters.
Conclusion
In summary, SPI focuses on the performance in a particular semester, CPI provides an overall assessment of a student’s academic performance throughout the entire course, and CGPA represents the average grade points obtained in the last four semesters, typically reflecting the performance in the final two years of the course.
