Semester What-If Planner
Rehearse the semester: assign expected grades to your courses and see the SGPA they would produce — the planning counterpart to the GPA calculator.
Projected SGPA
What-if—
0 credit hours · 0 quality points — if these expected grades hold.
Add credit hours and an expected grade for at least one course to project your SGPA.
Estimates for planning only. Your university's own rules and records are the final authority.

How this calculator works
Results season is a bad time to do arithmetic under pressure. The what-if planner moves that arithmetic earlier: months before finals, you can assign each course an expected grade and watch the projected SGPA take shape. The value is not the single number at the end — it is the sensitivity you feel while changing grades: how much each course moves the result, and where the remaining effort buys the most.
The formula it runs
Projected SGPA
Quality points = credit hours × grade points
Projected SGPA = total quality points ÷ total credits
Identical to the GPA calculator, by design: realities and expectations should be measured with the same ruler. Grade points come from the editable scale, so every scenario reflects your own university’s values rather than a hypothetical one.
A scenario, worked
Imagine a 12-credit semester: a 3-credit course you expect an A− in (3 × 3.67 = 11.01), a 4-credit course expecting B+ (4 × 3.33 = 13.32), a 3-credit course expecting B (3 × 3.00 = 9.00) and a 2-credit course expecting A (2 × 4.00 = 8.00). Total quality points: 41.33 over 12 credits — a projected SGPA of 3.44. Now change only the 4-credit course to A−: the total rises by 4 × 0.34 = 1.36, giving 3.56. One course, one letter, +0.12 of SGPA — that is the insight the planner exists to deliver.
Ways to use the sandbox
- Best case, worst case, likely case. Run three quick scenarios to bracket the semester instead of pinning hopes on one guess.
- Find the leverage. Bump each course by one letter in turn; the one that moves the number most deserves your remaining hours.
- Feed the improvement planner. A realistic projected SGPA becomes today’s contribution to the target average on your remaining credits.
Keep the frame honest
Projections are guesses raised to two decimals — treat them as signals, not promises. The point is direction: which course, roughly how much, and whether the semester can still carry your cumulative goals. When results arrive, the GPA calculator turns guesswork into record. Estimates for planning only; your university’s marksheet is the truth.
