ABSTRACT
The CGPA/SGPA Calculator project is a C language-based application
designed to compute and display students’ academic performance efficiently.
This project leverages core data structures such as arrays, structures, and linked
lists to manage and process academic records systematically.
The application accepts inputs such as course credits, grades, and
corresponding grade points for multiple subjects. Using predefined formulas, it
calculates Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) for individual semesters and
Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) for overall academic performance.
The project demonstrates key concepts of data organization, modular
programming, and algorithm optimization. Through the integration of robust
data validation and error-handling mechanisms, the application ensures accurate
computations. It also highlights real-world applications of data structures,
including searching, sorting, and manipulating academic data.

1. Introduction:
The CGPA/SGPA Calculator is a C language-based program designed
to help students and academic institutions calculate and manage academic
performance metrics such as Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) and
Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA). This project highlights the
practical application of C programming and data structures to solve real-
world problems in an educational context.
It takes input such as grades and credits for various subjects and
computes results using predefined formulas, ensuring accurate and
efficient performance tracking.

2. Objectives:
• To automate the calculation of SGPA and CGPA for students.
• To demonstrate the use of data structures such as arrays and structures
for efficient data handling.
• To create a user-friendly tool for academic performance evaluation.
• To provide a flexible and scalable program for storing, manipulating,
and retrieving student data.

3. Hardware Requirements:
• Processor: Intel Core i3 or above.
• RAM: Minimum 4 GB.
• Storage: 500 MB of free space for project files and data.
• Display: Any monitor supporting text-based output.

4. Software Requirements:

• Operating System: Windows, Linux, or macOS.

• Compiler: GCC (GNU Compiler Collection) or any C language compiler.

• Editor: Code::Blocks, Visual Studio Code, or any text editor supporting C.

5. Implementation:

• Programming Language: C
• Key Components:
Input Modules: Accept subject details, credits, and grades.
Processing Modules: Calculate SGPA and CGPA using the formula:

Output Modules: Display results to the user.

Data Storage: Store academic data in arrays or files for future use.

6. Working:
1.The program prompts the user to enter subject details, including grades
and credits.
2. Using the provided input, it calculates SGPA for a single semester.
3. If CGPA is required, it combines multiple semester data to compute
cumulative performance.
4. Results are displayed on the screen and optionally saved in a file for
future reference.
7. Challenges faced:
• Handling invalid user inputs and ensuring data validation.
• Implementing dynamic data storage for varying numbers of subjects or
semesters.
• Optimizing the algorithm for large datasets.
• Ensuring the accuracy of calculations with floating-point numbers.
8. Future Enhancements:
• Develop a graphical user interface (GUI) for better user experience.
• Integrate with a database management system for large-scale data
storage.
• Add features for statistical analysis and performance tracking over time.
•Extend support for multiple grading systems (e.g., percentage, letter
grades).

9. Conclusion:
The CGPA/SGPA Calculator successfully demonstrates the use of C
programming and data structures to solve a practical academic problem. By
automating the calculation process, it reduces errors and saves time for
students and academic institutions. This project showcases the importance
of programming in real-world applications and sets a foundation for further
enhancements.
