RECOMMENDATION OF CREDIT BY UGC Applicability of the grading system Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) Credit Based Semester System (CBS Credit Points. Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA). Grade Point. Letter Grade.

GRADES Letter Grade Point O (Outstanding) 10 A+(Excellent) 9 A(Very Good) 8 B+(Good) 7 B(Above Average) 6 C(Average) 5 P (Pass) 4 F(Fail) 0 Ab (Absent) 0

CALCULATING YOUR CREDIT POINTS SGPA (Si) = Σ(Ci x Gi) / ΣCi 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.

CGPA = Σ(Ci x Si) / Σ 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.

SGPA (Si) = Σ(Ci x Gi) / ΣCiSGPA (Si) = Σ(Ci x Gi) / ΣCi

Credit point. (Credit x Grade)

Course 1 3 A 8 3x8=24

Course 2 3 A 8 3 x 8 = 24

Course3 4 B+ 6 3x 6=18

Course4 3 O 10 10x3=30

Course 5 3 C 5 5x3=15

Course 6 4 B 6 4x6=24

20 139

Thus SGPA is 139/20=6.95

Semester 2 25 5.6

Semester 3 26 6.0

Thus, CGPA = 20 x 6.9 + 22 x 7.8 + 25 x 5.6 + 26 x 6.0 + 26 x 6.3 + 25 x 8.0 _________________________________________ = 6.73 144
