To strengthen your Statement of Purpose (SOP) regarding your CGPA or university background, focus on these key points:

- Briefly acknowledge your CGPA and, if relevant, mention any challenges faced - without making excuses.
- Highlight any upward trend or improvement in your academic performance.
- Emphasize relevant internships, projects, or work experience to showcase practical skills.
- Clearly connect your academic interests to the university’s programs or faculty.
- Outline your career goals and explain how the program will help you achieve them.
- Ensure your SOP is well-structured, formal, and free from grammatical errors.

These steps help present your profile positively, demonstrating readiness beyond grades alone.
