Saved Scenarios
Intentionally named calculations for long-term planning, comparison, and academic decision-making.
What Are Saved Scenarios?
A scenario is a calculation you have deliberately chosen to keep — named, annotated, and stored until you decide to delete it. Unlike Calculation History, which fills up automatically every time you press "Calculate", scenarios are created intentionally. You give each one a meaningful name — like "If I get B+ in Algorithms" or "Minimum CGPA to qualify for exchange programme" — so you can find and reuse it later.
Scenarios are stored privately in your browser's local storage. They do not expire, are not shared with anyone, and are not sent to any server.
Why Use Scenarios for Planning?
What-if analysis
Run a calculation for your best-case grades, save it as "Best case", then run a conservative version and save it as "Realistic plan". Compare both side by side any time.
Compare semester structures
Save a heavy 6-course semester and a lighter 4-course semester to see the CGPA impact of each before you register.
Track academic milestones
Save a scenario for each semester's actual result. Over time your scenarios become a clear academic record you can review when applying for internships or graduate programs.
Examples of Common Scenarios
Here are real examples of scenarios students create to guide academic decisions.
Best case — all A's
Enter your upcoming courses assuming you earn the highest grade in each. Save this to know your ceiling GPA for the semester.
Minimum to keep scholarship
Work backwards from your scholarship's minimum CGPA requirement to find the lowest grade you can afford in each course.
If I drop one course
Run the calculation with and without a tough elective to see how withdrawing affects your GPA — before the deadline.
Semester actual results
After grades are released, enter your real marks and save the scenario as a permanent record labelled "Semester 3 results".
Internship application target
Some competitive internships require a 3.5+ GPA. Save a scenario that shows exactly what grades you need across remaining courses to hit that mark.
How to Create, Rename, and Reuse Scenarios
The full lifecycle of a scenario — from creation to long-term reuse.
Run a calculation
Use any SmartCGPA tool — CGPA Calculator, Grade Calculator, Target Planner, and more.
Click "Save Scenario"
After calculating, a "Save Scenario" button appears. Click it to open the naming dialog.
Name and annotate it
Give it a clear, descriptive name like "Spring 2025 — optimistic" and an optional note for context.
Manage it here
Open, rename, duplicate, or delete scenarios any time. Click "Open" to reload it in the original calculator.
Using Scenarios to Compare Outcomes
The real power of scenarios is comparison. Save a "best case" and a "worst case" for the same semester, then open each in the calculator to study the CGPA difference. Use descriptive names like "Fall 2025 — if I ace every exam" and "Fall 2025 — if I just pass each course". Over time, your list of named scenarios becomes a structured decision log that helps you set realistic targets, prepare for academic reviews, and communicate your progress clearly.
You can also duplicate any scenario (using the copy icon), tweak one variable — say, changing a single course grade from B to A — and re-save it with a new name. This "branch" workflow lets you explore grade sensitivities quickly without losing your original baseline.

Run a calculation in any tool and click "Save Scenario" — or promote an item from your History.
Saved scenarios let you name, annotate, and permanently keep any calculation for planning or comparison.
