Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

GPA is basically your score for one single sem, while CGPA is your overall average across all the sems you've finished. My roommate messed this up once and thought his 9 GPA in 1st sem meant his CGPA was fixed forever lol.

GPA = Σ(Credit × Grade Point) / Σ(Credits). Honestly, doing this manually before every results day is super annoying, so our calculator handles this automatically for you.

SRM IST uses a 10-point scale (O=10, A+=9, A=8, B+=7, B=6, C=5, P=4, F=0). Getting an O is a total flex, but let's be real, most of us just pray we don't see an F.

Nope! We already fed all the 2021 regulation course credit info into the database. You guys don't need to hunt for your syllabus copy just to check credits.

Just pick your regulation and branch, type in your sem GPAs, and hit the Calculate CGPA button. Super simple.

Right now we only support the SRM IST Trichy branches since that's our campus. Hit us up if you want us to add your branch!

Nah man. We don't save anything on servers. All calculations happen locally right in your browser, so your backlogs stay a secret between you and your screen.

Yeah of course. The website works perfectly on your phone, so you can nervously calculate your marks right outside the lab exam hall like the rest of us.

No app installs or anything like that required. Just open the link whenever results drop.

Getting 8.0+ is pretty safe if you want to get placed with a decent package. 9.0+ is god level. But seriously guys, don't ignore your coding skills and projects. A 9.5 won't save you if you can't write basic code during placements.

Don't bunk too much, and focus hard on the 3 or 4-credit subjects. Back in my 3rd sem, I totally ignored a high-credit core paper and it tanked my GPA big time. Also, try to score well in your internals and viva, it makes the end sem way less stressful.

Usually you need at least a 5.0 CGPA and you gotta clear all the required credits. But aim higher if you actually want a job.

Oh yeah, big time. Getting an F grade = 0 points for that subject, which drags your sem GPA down. But once you clear those arrears, your CGPA bounces back.

Yeah it is. We literally use the official SRM grading scales and formulas. But keep in mind it's an unofficial estimation tool built by us, so don't go fighting with the COE if there's a 0.01 difference.

Sometimes the official transcript has slight rounding differences, or maybe you took some weird elective that isn't included in our database yet.

No way, the college didn't make this. It's just an independent project Hariesh and I built to help you guys out.

100% free. We're just students trying to make life easier for our juniors.

Created by me (Sai Narayana) and my buddy Hariesh! We are from the B.Tech CSE 2021-2025 batch.

Just drop an email to srmguide23@gmail.com or use the Contact page if you find something broken.

For sure! If you notice any missing electives or have ideas to make this better, just let us know. We'd love the help.
