Free VTU Student Tools — SGPA, CGPA, and Focus Timers

Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU) students have unique academic tools needs — from calculating SGPA under the 2021, 2022, and 2025 scheme regulations, to tracking cumulative CGPA across semesters, to managing study time effectively during exam season. Our free student tools are built specifically for VTU students: use the VTU SGPA calculator, the VTU CGPA calculator, and the Pomodoro study timer to stay on top of your academics.

VTU SGPA Calculator — Supports 2021, 2022 & 2025 Schemes

VTU's SGPA (Semester Grade Point Average) calculation depends on the scheme year, branch, and semester. Our VTU SGPA calculator covers all three active VTU scheme years (2021, 2022, and 2025), across all major engineering branches, for all semesters from 1st to 8th. Simply select your scheme, branch, and semester, enter your subject grades, and get your SGPA instantly. The calculator uses the official VTU credit system with CGPA credit-weighted grade points as per the university's academic regulations.

The SGPA formula is: SGPA = Σ(Credit × Grade Point) ÷ ΣCredits. Each subject's credit is multiplied by the grade point (e.g., O = 10, A+ = 9, A = 8, B+ = 7) and the total is divided by total credits for the semester. Our tool handles this calculation automatically, so there's no room for arithmetic errors that could affect your understanding of your academic standing.

VTU CGPA Calculator — Track Your Overall Academic Performance

Your CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) is the single most important number on your VTU marksheet — it determines eligibility for higher studies, placements, and scholarships. Our VTU CGPA calculator lets you enter up to 8 semester SGPAs and calculates your overall CGPA as a simple arithmetic average. It also shows you your performance classification (First Class with Distinction, First Class, Second Class) based on VTU grading norms, and includes a personalised congratulations message. Keep tracking your CGPA each semester to understand how each result affects your overall trajectory.

Pomodoro Timer — Study Smarter During Exam Prep

The Pomodoro Technique is one of the most evidence-backed study methods for improving focus and retention. It involves working in 25-minute focused sessions (Pomodoros) separated by 5-minute short breaks, with a longer 15–20 minute break after every 4 sessions. Our Pomodoro study timer is fully customisable — you can set your own work duration, short break, and long break intervals. It includes session dot tracking so you can see how many Pomodoros you've completed, and optional sound alerts so you don't have to watch the screen. Whether you're revising for a VTU theory exam or grinding through programming assignments, the Pomodoro method helps you stay consistent without burning out.

Tips for Improving Your VTU SGPA

Consistent attendance, solving previous years' VTU question papers, and staying on top of lab records and internal assessments are the three highest-return activities for VTU students. Internal marks (CIE) contribute 50 marks out of 100 in most subjects, so performing well internally significantly reduces the pressure on the semester end exam. Use our Pomodoro timer to build a daily study routine during the semester — not just in the last two weeks before exams.
