Note:
· A student obtaining Grade F shall be considered failed and will be required to reappear in the examination.
· Computation of SGPA and CGPA: Following procedure to compute the Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) and Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) may be adopted:
· 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 course components taken by a student and the sum of the number of credits of all the courses undergone by a student, i.e
SGPA (Si) = ∑(Ci x Gi) / ∑Ci
· where ‘Ci’ is the number of credits of the ith course component and ‘Gi’ is the grade point scored by the student in the ith course component.
· 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.
• The SGPA and CGPA shall be rounded off to 2 decimal points and reported in the transcripts.
• The skill component would be taken as one of the course component in calculation of SGPA and CGPA with given credit weightage at respective level.
• UGC guidelines on Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) may be refereed for further illustration on computation of SGPA, CGPA etc.
