Completed my 4th semester with an SGPA of 9.32, with all 19 credits earned.
I am keeping this result here mainly as a record of the semester. Marks and SGPA are one way to measure how a semester went, but they are not really what I want to measure myself by. The more important part for me is what I actually learned and what I can do with it.
This semester had a good mix of subjects that helped me build on different areas of computer science. Artificial Intelligence, Analysis and Design of Algorithms, Database Management Systems, Linear Algebra and Optimization, and MERN were some of the main ones.
Here is the complete result:
| Subject | Credits | Total | Grade |
|---|---|---|---|
| Artificial Intelligence | 4 | 82 | A+ |
| Linear Algebra and Optimization | 3 | 91 | O |
| Biology for Engineers | 2 | 92 | O |
| Analysis and Design of Algorithms | 3 | 97 | O |
| Database Management Systems | 4 | 76 | A |
| Analysis and Design of Algorithms Laboratory | 1 | 98 | O |
| MERN | 1 | 48 | O |
| Physical Education | 0 | 96 | PP |
| Universal Human Values Course | 1 | 82 | A+ |
SGPA: 9.32

For me, the biggest takeaway from this semester is the foundation I have been building outside the classroom as well. I have been working consistently on DSA and problem solving, trying to understand why a solution works instead of just memorising it. ADA helped with that from the academic side, and I have been continuing the same work through regular problem solving.
I also got more exposure to Artificial Intelligence, databases and web development through the semester. These subjects gave me a better idea of how different parts of computer science fit together, but there is still a lot more I want to learn and build in each of these areas.
That is something I want to keep in mind going forward. A good SGPA is useful and it is worth keeping track of, but it is still just a number. The skills I build, the problems I can solve, the things I can create and how well I understand what I am doing matter much more to me.
So I am taking the result as a checkpoint, not the finish line.
More DSA, more projects, more learning and hopefully a lot more things I can actually build in the next semester.
