Andhra University CGPA Calculator
Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh · public · est. 1926
CGPA at Andhra University is total quality points divided by total credit hours, counted across every semester you have completed, a quality point being one credit hour multiplied by that course's grade point. Andhra University awards those grade points through the official Andhra University grading scale shown below, a 7-band table that runs from 10.00 (O, 75% and above) down to 0.00 for a fail, giving a maximum CGPA of 10.00. The lowest passing grade is E, awarded from 40%.

Andhra University grading scale
Andhra University grades on an absolute scale out of 10.00 with 7 bands. A mark of 75% or above earns O (10.00), and 40% is the lowest passing band (E). The calculator above already applies these bands, so you can enter raw marks instead of letters.
| Marks (%) | Grade | Grade point |
|---|---|---|
| 0–39 | F | 0.00 |
| 40–49 | E | 5.00 |
| 50–54 | D | 6.00 |
| 55–59 | C | 7.00 |
| 60–64 | B | 8.00 |
| 65–74 | A | 9.00 |
| 75–100 | O | 10.00 |

This specific document is titled for the M.Pharmacy programme at Andhra University's College of Pharmaceutical Sciences; multiple independent secondary sources (aggregator CGPA-conversion sites) describe an identical O/A/B/C/D/E/F table as Andhra University's general CBCS scale across other UG/PG programmes, which corroborates this being the university-wide table rather than a pharmacy-only scheme, though this dataset notes the directly-verified document's specific scope for full transparency. brandColor is an approximation, not from a published brand guideline.
How grading works at Andhra University
Andhra University works out CGPA the same way most Indian 10-point CBCS universities do: each course's grade point, drawn from a fixed percentage table, is multiplied by its credits, summed, and divided by total credits, with SGPA covering one semester and CGPA extending the calculation across every semester completed. What sets Andhra University's own published table apart from many peers is where its top band starts - a student needs 75% or higher to earn the outstanding 'O' grade and full 10 grade points, a noticeably higher bar than the 90% (or even 80%) threshold common at many other Indian universities' O grade.
Founded in 1926, Andhra University is one of India's oldest state universities and a major teaching-and-affiliating institution based in Visakhapatnam on the Andhra Pradesh coast, with faculties spanning engineering, sciences, arts, commerce, law, pharmacy and marine studies among others. Internal assessment and university examination marks are combined into a single course total out of 100 before being converted into the letter grade shown on this page's scale.
A course only counts as passed once a student's combined marks reach at least 40%, and even then the university requires the university-examination component alone to clear its own 40% floor; scoring below either threshold results in an F grade worth zero grade points, and the subject must be attempted again.
Worked example: a full semester on the Andhra University scale
Here is a complete 15 credit-hour semester scored against the Andhra University grade points in the table above. The marks are illustrative, but every number after them is calculated the same way the calculator on this page calculates yours.
| Course | Credit hrs | Marks /100 | Grade | Grade point | Quality points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Core course I | 3 | 88 | O | 10.00 | 3 × 10.00 = 30.00 |
| Core course II | 4 | 70 | A | 9.00 | 4 × 9.00 = 36.00 |
| Core course III | 3 | 62 | B | 8.00 | 3 × 8.00 = 24.00 |
| Elective | 3 | 57 | C | 7.00 | 3 × 7.00 = 21.00 |
| Lab / practical | 2 | 52 | D | 6.00 | 2 × 6.00 = 12.00 |
| Total | 15 | 123.00 |
Step by step
- Convert each course mark to a grade point. Work out each course as a percentage of its total marks, then read the letter off the Andhra University grading table. 88 out of 100 is 88%, which falls in the O band and is worth 10.00 grade points.
- Multiply each grade point by the course credit hours. Credit hours decide how much each course counts, so multiply to get quality points: 3 × 10.00 = 30.00, 4 × 9.00 = 36.00, 3 × 8.00 = 24.00, 3 × 7.00 = 21.00, 2 × 6.00 = 12.00.
- Add the quality points and the credit hours. Adding the five courses gives 123.00 quality points across 15 credit hours.
- Divide to get the semester GPA. 123.00 ÷ 15 = 8.20, the semester GPA for this term at Andhra University.
- Fold the semester into your CGPA. If you had already completed 45 credit hours at a CGPA of 8.00, those carry 360.00 quality points. Add this semester and the CGPA becomes (360.00 + 123.00) ÷ (45 + 15) = 8.05.
Notice how the 4-credit course moves the average roughly twice as hard as the 2-credit lab. That credit-hour weighting is the whole reason a GPA is not just the average of your grade points.
Which Andhra University programmes use this scale?
The same grading plan applies across Andhra University’s degree programmes, including Marine Engineering, M.Pharmacy, MBA, Law (LLB) and Andhra University College of Engineering programmes. Credit-hour loads differ by programme (a typical semester runs 15 to 18 credit hours), but the marks-to-grade-point mapping above does not change between them.
