For the computation of CGPA, only the best performed courses with maximum credit points (P) alone shall be taken subject to the minimum credits requirements. The CGPA of a student determines the overall academic level of the student in a programme and is the criterion for ranking the students. CGPA can be calculated by the following formula:

(SGPA)1 S1 + (SGPA)2 S2 + ………….+ (SGPA)n Sn CGPA = --------------------------------------------------------------- S1 + S2+ ……. + Sn where (SGPA)n is the SGPA of the n-th semester and Sn is the total credits taken in the n-th semester.

5.1.3 Letter grades will now be awarded for each course as per the following table:

Grade Range of Marks (M)# Grade Point (G) A+ 85 ≤ M ≤ 100 10 A 70 ≤ M < 85 9 B+ 60 ≤ M < 70 8 B 55 ≤ M < 60 7 C+ 50 ≤ M < 55 6 C 40 ≤ M < 50 5 F M < 40 0 # M: marks obtained by a student on the 100-point scale.

5.2. Passing Grade

5.2.1. The lowest passing grade in a course and also for awarding a degree will be ‘C’. A candidate having obtained the ‘F’ grade in a course shall be declared as failed in that particular course.

5.2.2. The lowest passing grade for Internal Assessment/End-Semester Examination in each theory course/laboratory course/field work etc. shall be ‘C’, separately for each component.

5.3. Credit Point (P) It is the value obtained by multiplying the grade point (G) by the credit (C) of the course:

P n = G n x Cr n.

where, ‘Pn’ is the Credit point for the ‘n’th course, ‘Gn’ is the Grade point awarded in the ‘n’th course, ‘Crn’ is the number of credits assigned to the ‘n’th course, ‘n’ is the number of course in which a student is appearing in a semester.

159

5.4. Semester Grade point Average (SGPA) It is the weighted average of the grade points of all courses during the semester.

After the successful completion of a semester, Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) of a student in that semester is calculated using the formula given below.

P1 + P2 + ……. + Pn SGPA = ----------------------------- Cr1 + Cr2+ ……. + Crn

5.5. Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) The Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of a student is calculated at the end of a programme. For the computation of CGPA, only the best performed courses with maximum credit points (P) alone shall be taken subject to the minimum credits requirements. The CGPA of a student determines the overall academic level of the student in a programme and is the criterion for ranking the students. CGPA can be calculated by the following formula:

(SGPA)1 S1 + (SGPA)2 S2 + ………….+ (SGPA)n Sn CGPA = ------------------------------------------------------------------ S1 + S2+ ……. + Sn where (SGPA)n is the SGPA of the n th semester and Sn is the total credits taken in the n th semester.
