Examination and Assessment

Under Choice Based Credit System (CBCS), the candidates are awarded grades and CGPA

Letter Grades and Grade Points

i. Absolute grading method is adopted to convert marks into grades based on
Predetermined Class Intervals.
ii. Pre determined Class Intervals (marks), Grade points and Letter grades are presented
here under.
Grades and Grade Points

iii. A student obtaining Grade F shall be considered failed and will be required to reappear
for the examination.

Computation of SGPA and CGPA

The following procedure is adopted to compute the Semester Grade Point Average
(SGPA) and Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA):

i. The SGPA is the ratio of sum of the product of the number of credits with the grade
points scored by a student in all the courses taken by a student and the sum of the
number of credits of all the courses undergone by a student, i.e

SGPA (Si) =∑(Cix Gi) /∑Ci

Where Ci is the number of credits of the ith course and Gi is the grade point scored by
the student in the ith course.

ii. The CGPA is also calculated in the same manner taking into account all the courses
undergone by a student over all the semesters of a programme, i.e.

CGPA = ∑(Ci x Si) / ∑ Ci

Where Si is the SGPA of the ith semester and Ci is the total number of credits in
that semester.

iii. The SGPA and CGPA shall be rounded off to 2 decimal points and reported in the
memorandum of marks.

Course 2 4 C 7 4X7= 28
Course 3 4 B 8 4X8 = 32
Course 4 4 B 8 4X8 = 32
Course 5 4 C 7 4X7= 28
Course6 4 B 8 4X8 = 32
Course 7 4 B 8 4X8 = 32

Thus, SGPA = 216/28 = 7.71

Thus, CGPA = (28 x 7.71) + (30x 6.98) + (28x 6.22) + (32 x 7.23)/128 = 6.49
