  • The credits for each course will be assigned as approved by the Academic Council while approving the curricula and syllabi.
  • Grade shall be awarded on the basis of performance continuous and comprehensive assessment and End-Semester Examinations.
  • The performance of a student will be evaluated in terms of two indices, viz., the Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) which is the Grade Point Average for a semester and Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) which is the Grade Point Average for all the completed semesters at any point in time. The SGPA and CGPA shall be rounded off to two decimal point. The SGPA is calculated on the basis of grades obtained in all courses, registered in a semester:
  • SGPA = 

where Ci = Credits in the Course I, Gi = Grade Points awarded to the student in Course i as per conversion table, S = No. of Courses for which a student is registered in that Semester. The overall Grade Point of a student in the program of study up to the end of a particular Semester shall be called Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA). CGPA shall be calculated on the basis of all grades, obtained in all completed semesters as follows:

CGPA =

where Ci = Credits in the Course i taken by the student, Gi = Grade Point awarded to the student in the Course i, N = No. of Courses taken by the student up to the end of that Semester.
