How do I convert SGPA to percentage under the new CBCS rules at DU?

HR
Harsh Ranjan Posted On : October 6th, 2022
Bachelors in Economics from University of Delhi (Graduated 2018)

There has been considerable confusion in Delhi University's grading system for a long time. The university proposed multiple adjustments before a proper method was finally implemented and made public. The SGPA calculator is used in the educational field to translate SGPA to percentage. The calculations are based on the student's overall performance on the corresponding semester exam in general courses. 

To convert SGPA into a percentage, the following steps are being followed by the students:

  • The SGPA for each semester should be determined first.

  • Adding the semester-by-semester averages once you get them.

  • Subtracting the number of semesters you have taught from the total of the SGPAs.

  • Finally, calculate your SGPA by multiplying it by 10, then take 7.5 out of the result. 

The CBCS System used at DU is Relative Grading rather than Absolute Grading.

How was your first day in DU?

S
Sagardeep Posted On : October 4th, 2022
Bsc life sciences from University of Delhi (Graduated 2021)

One of the students of DU shared her experience by explaining that the orientation day was the first day of lectures. When everyone arrived in the designated room, their faculty was there to greet them. She witnessed a lot of strange faces. Fortunately, she had her roommate to chat with because she was also a classmate. Lecturers treated them extremely well. Then everyone began introducing themselves.

The first person to start was their HOD. Her remarks brightened their day. They were on edge because of how seriously she began but gradually calmed them down with her humble words. She shared her beliefs with us and gave them a verbal tour of the campus. She then requested an introduction from each of the students. At the end of the orientation, she wished them luck. 

The rest of the day was spent lying in bed, talking on the phone, and doing nothing. After three weeks, proper classes began. By the fifth week, the books had been recommended. DU released the date sheet just as the students finished one chapter. It was a completely new experience for her, but it was well worth it, as she says it.

What if I get into a low ranked DU college?

PT
Pragya Tripathi Posted On : October 4th, 2022
BA(Hons)Political science from University of Delhi (Graduated 2021)

Getting admission to DU is a big deal. You should not feel apathetic and discouraged even if you do not get a top-ranked college. Every college of DU has an equal value when you get the degree. The faculties are cooperative and supportive. They are always ready to help the students. 

The only major differences are the infrastructure and the surrounding. Simplicity and Uniformity are observed in everyone studying or teaching at DU. Being one among the 2.5k applicants to be accepted into a DU college is something to be proud of. Be content with what you currently have, explore opportunities, and ask your seniors for assistance if necessary. 

"Getting into a good college" is an exaggerated and superficial concept and sincere courtesy goes to the media. Every DU college follows the same teaching standards.

It is a fact that everything happens for a reason. On Facebook, there was a post titled "Humans of SRCC" in which a few students expressed their thoughts and issues they had encountered at the college. They claim that they do not fit in at SRCC's fast-paced environment and that they feel isolated at times.

So, rather than regretting or overthinking what fate has in store for them, one should always accept it with grace and satisfaction.

What is life like at DU?

KJ
Karuna Jaiswal Posted On : October 4th, 2022
Studied Economics at University of Delhi (Graduated 2017)

Here is what a 2012 DU Hansraj College graduate has to say about life at DU.

As a 17 years old boy who had received high marks in 12th grade, his expectations were as high as they should have been. But, over time, he realized that DU is just like any other university in a sense that it gives you a name but not necessarily a job. So, he went through the typical Indian education system, i.e., focusing on grades rather than fundamentals. 

So, after enrolling in DU's Physics Hons, he skipped classes and concentrated on concepts, but the results were still disappointing. He wasn't getting good grades or gaining a lot of knowledge. But after three years, he realized that success is impossible without in-depth knowledge. He got admitted to IIT Bombay after putting in a lot of effort, and that completely changed his life. 

The DU experience is the most joyful, as he claims. He says he is a foodie who enjoys eating, studying, and traveling. Thus, below mentioned are a few places recommended by him:

  1. Amba Cinema- It is well-known for its whistling. He has visited the theater quite frequently and seen movies like Gabbar is Back, Baby, and many more.

  2. Chole Bhature of Rawalpindi

  3. The Kamla Nehru Ridge

  4. Miranda House

Life changes, and we should embrace it. The University of Delhi is not merely a dream university where students are keen to study, but it is an emotion. An intense sentiment is attached to the hearts of the students. Life here feels immensely simple yet happening. We meet different kinds of people in every phase of life that we spend here. It gives so many experiences, both beautiful and harsh, to learn, explore and understand the truth of life. Almost everyone is friendly, polite, helpful, thoughtful and cooperative. The primary draws at DU are the annual college fests. You get to have a wonderful experience and enjoy extraordinary performances by popular celebrities that you would never have seen in your entire life.
