Computation
of SGPA
§ The following procedure is to be adopted to compute the Semester Grade
Point Averagae. (SGPA) and Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA):
§ 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) = ∑ (Ci X 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.
§ The CGPA
is also calculated in the same manner taking into account all
the courses undergone by a student over all the semester 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.
§ Equivalent Percentage = (CGPA – 0.75) x 10

a student has satisfied the requirements prescribed for the completion of the
