- Absolute grading is adopted for all the
Range of Marks (CA + SEE) | Grade Points | Grade | Performance |
---|---|---|---|
90 – 100 | 9.0 – 10.0 | O | Excellent |
80 – 89 | 8.0 – 8.9 | A | Very Good |
70 – 79 | 7.0 – 7.9 | B | Good |
60 – 69 | 6.0 – 6.9 | C | Above Average |
50 – 59 | 5.0 – 5.9 | D | Average |

Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) is calculated by considering all the courses of the semester.
SGPA = ∑(Ci × Gi) / ∑Ci where
Ci = No. of credits,
Gi = grade points.
To arrive at marks scored in a course, multiply grade point Gi by 10.
After completion of all the courses, the minimum number of credits required for B.A. / B.Sc. / B.Com. / B.M.S / B.B.A. CGPA and OWPM shall be given separately for Part I, Part II and Part III.
CGPA = ∑(C×GP) / ∑C where
C = No. of credits,
GP = grade points.
OWPM = ∑(C×M) / ∑C, where M = marks
